Imperious Leader is right. The rules of A&A have evolved over the years, but each game was designed to work with the rules that existed at the time. You can always experiment with using the new rules on older games, but the result may not be balanced properly.
In what Windows OS does A&A/A&A Iron Blitz work?

A friend just got his hands on the A&A and A&A Iron Blitz CDs. Before he loaded it in his computer I thought I’d ask with what Windows programs it works. I heard it’s a pain with XP, but I know it works with W95 and fairly sure it works with W98. What of W2000 and Millenium?

Fairly sure it works on 98 huh? Not very well likely!! Dug out my old CD’s and wanted to play…the UNPATCHED A&A works fine…(well, still buggy) but when I apply the patch or try to play IB, I get to the “NETSTAT” screen and my comp locks down requiring a hard boot!! Ah the joys!! Seriously though, if anyone knows how to get it to work on 98 let me know!! Thanks!
