| - Retail release German v1.00. The Germans talk German (off course), not that English-German as in the US and UK version. It sound very good, but sometime its a bit overdone, making the General sound like he is drunk or from some remote location in Germany. I have been told that this is a Berlin-dialect! On the other hand the German-English does not sound really good. More like a English with an stick up his.., well you know. German-Russian is just simply bad. The German version has a nice feature. They have a 3rd file going with the equipment file, a file named eq97long.deu. This file contains the long version of units name. Whenever you buy new units, and move the cursor over a unit, the long name appears on the top of the screen. Nice. The German version feels much more stabile then the US or UK version. You never feel that it’s just about to crash on you. I did see a bug that I have never seen in any other version. In multiplayer, when you get to the select scenario, you won’t see the text for the buttons, when moving your mouse over them. You only see it a spilt second when you press it. One funny thing, pointed out by Anton Geißlitz is; on the back of the cd-cover it says: "Historical battles, like, Dessau, Leningrad, Malta, Tobruk and many more". I simply can't remember a historical Battle of Malta in WW2! :) Included on the CD is the whole German manual, in acrobat reader format. Acrobat reader is also on the CD.
