Started playing it again today...

Well I started playing it again today, the original not H&D Deluxe. It is good to see your soldiers and enemies with different faces. It took a few minutes to get the game to start, I managed to get it to start in XP with Windows 2000 compatibility mode set - nothing else seemed to work. Another issue was that the cutscenes make the game instantly crash, to fix this I went into the H&D FFF settings (setup.exe) and turned off the triple buffering.
Same old bugs... on C1M2 one of my guys ran into the side of the boat and killed himself C1M1 was pretty much bug free. I tried a new tactic this time, well slightly different. I came out of the sewers with two of my guys near the JU 287 Prototype plane. I normally come out near the guard buildings and the watch tower so I can machine gun all the guys but this time I used my third guy (in nazi uniform) to place anti-personnel mines at the doors never really used them before to be honest.
After playing two maps I really realised how many differences there are between H&D1 and H&D2. So many small but important things made H&D1 what it is.
Can't wait to play C3M1 and C3M2 I started a new campaign in hard mode, I forgot how difficult it could be especially when the enemy fires a whole clip of ammo in a second
