Do! Do!

I've played before. It should be a pretty simple learning experience.

Well, only a portion came in. The advanced rules and the mech creation.

Still waiting on the intro set to come in and the extra maps. Without these two items, we can't really play.

Do you have any mech minis? The rules are free online from the publisher.

I was able to get "The Drawing Board" to work under windows 7.

I do know that xp, vista, and windows 7 all need to download and install:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f9-b5c5-48f4-8edd-cdf2d29a79d5&displaylang=en

Then at least on windows 7 (maybe vista also), one must open an elevated cmd prompt. Click "START", then type in cmd (right click on cmd from the results), click run as administrator. Yes, to the uac prompt (if enabled). Then at the prompt type in:

regsvr32 /s comctl32.ocx (press enter)

You should now be able to run the program.

Ordered a few more things, this time from amazon:
[FONT=&quot]Classic Battletech: Map Set Compilation 2 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Classic Battletech: Map Set #7[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]CBT Technical Readout: 3075
[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]CBT Tactical Operations[/FONT] (the last rule book of the new edition)
[FONT=&quot]Classic Battletech: Map Set #7 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Classic Battletech: Map Set Compilation 1 [/FONT]

These maps are higher quality then the crap maps that were in the base game.

Cool. Nicer maps are very welcome. I had a good time yesterday. Except for Elfenland. Horrid game.
