Downloaded dosbox.74 shortcut on desktop. dragged the shortcut over to the Europe file and now there is a file Dosbox .74 in list of Operation Europe. Dragging main.exe over to dosbox has no effect. What is next?

OK, got it to work, but the screen is tiny and is there a manual?

Use Alt-Enter to go to full screen and back. If we haven't got a manual you might try googling the game and looking on other sites. I don't know if replacementdocs is still a good source.

EDIT we do have the manual; look on the game page. It's under the link to this forum thread. "Discuss this game here".

Thanks man, I am getting there! I have everything figured out except the controls for the individual battles. The manual is the one from SNES, so it wont tell me how to play on my laptop. Anyone know how to control game in a battle?

good games at all!

I have yet to meet a better strategy game when played 2 player! I have everything figured out except how to control the battle on the small screen. How does that work?

Sorry, I've never played the game myself.

Did you ever get the game to work? I have everything figured out except how to make the battle work on the small screen. I have played it on snes, but dont know how to make it work on laptop. Just need to know how to give orders.

I am trying to figure out how to play Operation europe on my laptop. Specifically how to give orders to units in battle. Is there anyone alive that actually knows how it works in MS DOS? I have the original manual.
