Whats should the file path be to play this?
if you downloaded and installed the old Gizmotron Mod or the previous Uncommon Valor test patch you should be able to drop this into the same spot and over-write all of the older files. you're old maps might not be playable without some serious re-edits, though.
I'm still playing the game on XP... so I extracted it the Program Files\Atari\Axis & Allies folder and that should be enough to get it running.
My game continually crashes, I have a log file to send in, but do not know where to go yet. Is there another patch? My system is windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
It should be placed in (If you kept the defaults):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Axis & Allies
the WW2 mode is not ready. all things considered, I don't expect WW2 to be playable for several more months at the earliest. I have done no trouble-shooting or bug-testing for it at this time. I advise against playing WW2 games for the time being.
game crashes also appear to be common with newer versions of Windows. not sure if there's really a fix for it-- since the game is now over 10 years old.
