You’re probably talking about the Junkyard mission where you have to steal a reactor? You’ll fail every time unless you take it very slowly and carefully, and then it’s pretty easy. Once past this mission the game really opens up, so it’s worth persevering with.
Fortunately while looking for the disks to Dungeon Siege earlier (I wonder why?!) I found my I-War 2 box. Bonus!

Again: THE TROUBLE WITH GUNSTARS
Panzer General 2 is listed by GOG as “Windows XP & Vista.” Does that mean it will not run on Windows 7?
Win 7 support is not yet guaranteed. It hasn’t been a problem for me yet (I haven’t played PG2, mind).
It runs fine for me on Win 7 x64.
For what it’s worth, CNN put Good Old Games in the Number 2 slot of the Top download services for games.
Okay, GOG released Raptor: Call of the Shadows 2010 edition. Supposedly supports higher resolutions. I don’t care. Buying now.

After all these years, Panzer General 2 is still completely awesome. Daaaaamn.

Speaking of PG2, some people might be interested in PeG-WW2.
It started out as an effort to bring PG2 to the People’s General engine and utilize it’s improvements.
There’s some downsides to that as well, but I don’t wanna hijack this thread too far by discussing those.
It’s notable that PeGWW2 has gone a long way, though - it has severly modified equipment sets for the western and eastern fronts and beyond - such for the pacific. There’s complete Japanese campaigns available, for example.
It doesn’t stop there - there’s a Korea conversion, a WW1 conversion, even a Napoleonic conversion and a American Civil War conversion.
Definately worth a look for everybody that liked/likes PG2, imo.
Disclaimer: I’m not affilated with that project in any way.

Damn, will have to get this now too. I recently came across my copy of Panzer General for the Playstation - not sure if this was a direct port or if it lost anything going to console but I loved that game.
Sweet. I almost got that from GamersGate for $10, but this is cheaper and from a preferred provider.
No longer will I have to search for my old floppy disk, or a floppy disk drive to load it with.

looks like GOG has Lords of Magic and Master of Magic… is there a possibility it will add Magic and Mayhem? was a pretty good rts ccg type game from the late 90s. by the guy who made xcom !
is there any game close to the gameplay in magic and mayhem? i really liked that game… the skirmish was pretty fun too.

Total Annihilation and its expansions are now up for $6.
Dang, I just got that from Impulse a little while ago. I love GoG, but I don’t need to triple dip.
Is it worth it for someone who has never played it? Or will I have gotten everything out of it that I’m going to get (and more) if I’ve played Supreme Commander already?

Total Annihilation is awesome and well worth 6 bucks.
Damn it. That doesn’t answer my question. Fine. Bought. Downloading. I have to admit, I’m dying to know which parts of Supreme Commander were already in place back in the TA days and which parts were new. It’s worth it just for that, even if it doesn’t hold up to go backwards.
Wow, I’m already digging the soundtrack, which I downloaded first from GoG, while the game is downloading.
The soundtrack is like a lovechild of a Western and Star Wars. Definitely sounds a lot like John Williams.
I can’t picture playing an RTS while listening to this though. Isn’t it highly distracting? Or is something this dramatic always happening in Total Annihilation?
