Anybody got it running on Windows 11 Home or Pro?

I can't get it to run despite trying numerous trick and compatibility settings.

Anybody had success?

I keep getting "violation at xxx" error; then runtime at xxx error.

Re: Maps Galore 'Flemmings Kriegskarten'

Well here's a WW1 blast from the past for you Chem - a new AAR in WW1 Gold. The first for about 15 years.

https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=413235

And the game even works, sometimes, in Win 11.

It is well worth a read and shows how good this game is with the aggro of winter. Remember, half an inch of snow and England grinds to a halt.
