IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTE: you may get an out of memory error when first loading the module. Donʼt worry! Using the menu bar click on “File” (PC) or “Steel Wolves” (Mac), then select “Preferences.” Set you JVM Initial Heap size to 512 and JVM Maximum Heap Size to 1024. Click Ok. Shut down VASSAL. Reload the module and you should be ok. There are LOTS of pieces in the game and a LOT of programming in the module which drives up performance requirements. I cannot guarantee the module will run on a computer with less than 2GB of memory.

Further information see help in the module.

Version 3.0 or higher is not compatible with older versions !!!!

Hint:  It seems, there is a bug in the savegame updater from VASSAL. If you update a savegame the war mix will not be updated correctly.
