I downloaded the new trial version, but got an error.  could not find .DLL
Can't recall of hand which DLL the game was looking for, but once again the
old system I'm playing on let me down.

Raille

I upgraded to the Full version over the weekend and played the second Marine
mission a lot at the Veteran level.  I found it very different from playing a
person.  I am not sure, but it seems that the swarm just keeps coming.  My
strategy against human players was to kill their units out in the open and wait
for them to bring the queens out to pick up the bodies.  It doesn't seem to be
working here.  Perhaps the swarm just started with a lot more points than I
expected.  In any case, this battle is a LOT tougher than the free trial one.

Thanks again, Julian.  For just $10, this one is going to keep me busy for a
long time.
