Commander - Europe at War is easy to learn and elegant, but deep in strategy and hard to master. Players will find themselves glued to their chairs from the beginning when all mayhem breaks loose across the continent with the invasion of Poland in 1939. Research new technologies, manage your manpower reserves, improve your industry, husband your oil supply and manufacture armies, fleets, and bombers to use all available strategic and tactical might to bring about victory. Commander - Europe at War includes realistic combat resolution that models supply morale, terrain, leadership, equipment, training, strategic weapons and fog of war. To capture the immense scope and distance of WWII, Commander - Europe at War includes 6 epic scenarios with different starting points, including the famous Barbarossa campaign, D-Day, the battle for France, and finally the Grand Campaign that will let the player refight the entirety of the Second World War the way they see fit!

Is this download different from others? I ask because it appears that the dl automatically goes directly to a temp folder and not to my desktop and it installs from there....this is fine for my home pc, but on my dial up only notebook, I would like to avoid a direct download. Usually I would simply port the zip file upgrade via flash memory. I hope this is not the shape of things to come....

Nope, this is most probably your settings.

Ok..but I wonder what settings they can be because of the myriad of Matrix updates I have downloaded, this never happened before......I'll check it out though, thanks....

Could be just a simple checkbox you accidently checked in the download dialog. That now starts the downloads automatically.
