Other notes:
Attempts to run on a 8088, but cannot allocate enough memory regardless of how much conventional RAM is available.

Has optional Sound Blaster support, either through SNDBLAST.DLL on Windows 3.0/3.0a, or (not including v1.0) MMSYSTEM.DLL on Windows 3.0/3.0a with Multimedia Extensions or Windows 3.1.

v1.1 complains about MMSYSTEM.DLL not being found on Windows 3.0/3.0a upon startup, but continues to run without issues.

Versions up to v1.6a2v includes a tutorial mission that is not in later versions. v1.9 limits the shareware scenario to 25 turns, compared to 50 turns in earlier versions.
