There isnt one that does V1 ish-> V14.

For a complete install (on a new PC etc) you will need to download all the patches and install them in ascending order.

OK, I used the three patches and 3 patches alone. Everything seems to be working fine.
I tried to record some footage to see how it looks, using software method, and it appears to be working fine, though the size of each recording will be huge.

I also tried to run it in fullscreen, though I wasn't expecting it to work. It didn't. I got two errors, first was
SAL Error
IpDD->SetDisplayMode() failed, code 80004001

Second was

SAL Error
DirectDraw could not be initialized! Error code 80004001

with crashing/quitting back to desktop.

No big deal as I was planning on using windowed mode anyway, JFYI.

Anyway, thank you all for your help. I will need some time to remember how to play and the new shortcuts/features.

I have the version 1 CD, and I have run way more than three pitches, I think there is 3-4 just to get it to where you can run the 3 patches to get to the latest update. So most likely everything is not okay even though it may seem like it. I can provide a list of all the patches I run latter this morning.

You should be good to go. Those three patches allow someone who bought the CD at the start to upgrade to the current version

Thank you again for clearing it up.

One last question (I hope). Because I can't remember, The op fire filtering options (range, armor limits, type of target, etc) work only for a specific overwatch hex, or if you don't set up an overwatch hex also work for the hex the unit in question is in? I think I remember it works both ways with the set overwatch hex as the priority and the unit hex underneath it, but if I don't set up a specific hex, it still works.

I believe you are correct but I almost never use op fire filtering so someone who does will need to confirm that

Opfire filtering can work for an opfire hex and radius - otherwise it works like the Y key does, ie on all targets the firer can see.

I hardly ever use a hex - but it could be useful for a scenario designer to set up an ambush.

About the only thing I use filtering for is to set up ATGM units to only fire at MBT class units so as not to waste shots (Set up the front steel armour value > the APC types the enemy has).

Opfire filtering for a scenario in defence could be quite nasty - set it to ignore small stuff like APC and scout cars - human does recce, nothing fires so he moves his heavy armour and - Whammo! every ATGM and NBT in LOS blats his tanks....
