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?

Sorry, I've never played the game myself.
