How to turn off Intro

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

How to turn off Intro

Post by cmill_MatrixForum »

Some while back a post on these forums instructed how to turn off the intro movies to WitE. I recently reinstalled the game due to computer issues and forgot how to do this. Anyone remember or point me to the thread?

Errr...I am sure it won't help much, but you rename some folder to something else and that does the trick!

Ok, I think I figured it out with help from PDH. Looks like if you rename the Video file the intro movie is out--although, this also likely causes the end of game videos to cease as well...oh well, not a total loss.
Thanks!

See, my advice was dead on. If the target is the size of a city I can always hit it by the 2nd try.
