This sounds great. The question was asked on Usenet, and no, it says the CD-ROM must remain in the drive. I don't have a CD-ROM reader either. As usual these days, I don't have time for a full review, so here are the high points.
Sound is good, music is redbook.
30 megs for a full install. European and Pacific campaigns, random scenarios, period-based campaigns, full war campaigns. Play Russian, German, American, Japanese, British, US Army or US Marines in campaigns. Scenarios have other nationalities, I've noticed Free French and just played a scenario where the Finns do unspeakable things to a Soviet mech motorized unit. Units are equipped with various weapons and sometimes smoke, used automatically to cover retreats.
