Operation Combat II -  By Land, Sea, and Air - Amiga Loading instructions

Operation Combat II will run on any Amiga computer (4000, 3000, 2000, 500, 
600, and 1000 series) that has at least 1 meg of RAM (500K of CHIP RAM), 
under all AmigaDos operating systems from 1.2 to 3.1.  

There are two Amiga formatted disks in the Operation Combat II box: the
Program Disk (OPCOM2), and the Data Disk (OPCOMII).  Please make copies of
these disks, if you plan to play from floppies.

Playing from Floppies
*********************

Booting from the Program Disk...
--------------------------------
You may boot directly from the Operation Combat II Program Disk, by placing 
it in drive df0: after you power on your computer.  Place the Operation
Combat II Data Disk in another drive, if you have one.  Or if your computer 
has but a single drive, follow the system prompts as to when to swap the 
Program Disk with the Data Disk.  Open the directory by double clicking with 
the mouse on the Operation Combat II (OPCOM2) icon. Then double click on the 
Combat II icon to start the game.

Booting from a Workbench Disk...
--------------------------------
You may also boot from your regular Workbench disk, then insert the 
Operation Combat II Program Disk.  Open the directory by double clicking 
with the mouse on the Operation Combat II (OPCOM2) icon.  Before starting 
the game,  please run OPCOMFILE_ASSIGN.  You may now double click on the 
Combat II icon to start the game.  

If you have only 1 meg of RAM in your Amiga, you may experience difficulty
starting the game after booting from your Workbench because of a low memory
condition.  In this case, please boot directly from the Program Disk, and 
the game will load without further difficulty.

Installing on a Hard Drive
Operation Combat II uses the Commodore Installer Program for Hard Drive
installation.  The program Install_CombatII can be found on the Program 
Disk. Start the install program and simply follow the prompts.  Operation 
Combat II will create a directory on your hard drive at the location you 
select, and copy its files into this single location.  Three assigns will 
also be added to your S:User-Startup (under AmigaDos 2.0 or greater) or
your S:Startup-Sequence (pre - AmigaDos 2.0).

Note on Playing for the First Few Times 
***************************************
The Turn Length Time selected in the Options Panel only effects human play
time. The Operation Combat II computer opponent always takes less than 3
minutes to make all moves in a turn, regardless of the Turn Timer setting.  
It is advised that for your first few games, the Turn Timer be set to 240
or more seconds, and that NOVICE be selected as the play level.

MODEM Play ADDENDUM
*******************

With some modems it may take 10 to 20 seconds to make a connection. Please
be patient and do not click the mouse button until a connection has been
established.

During modem play the player who is not moving will not have a menu. If
you need to get at the menu, just point the mouse pointer on the 
Text/Menu bar and click the left mouse button.

If you experience modem play difficulty with modems with built-in
compression (MNP5, v.32bis, etc.), try turning the compression off by 
using the custom Dial string AT\N1DT and Answer string AT\N1S0=1.

IMPORTANT!!!!!

Make sure that the Serial Prefs on you Amiga is set as follows:

          Baud Rate           - 2400 to 9600 
          Input Buffer Size   - 4096 or more
          Handshaking         - NONE      
          Parity              - NONE
          Bits/Char           - 8
          Stop Bits           - 1
  
Note:   In particular, check that Handshaking is set to NONE.  Anything
        else will prevent some of the moves to be correctly transmitted
        when a NULL modem connection is established.
