File Instructions:: Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps
English SinglePlayer Demo
Version 1.16
============================

In this limited version of DRvsAK there is 1 playable level. It can be
accessed
by selecting "Scenario" from the "New Game" menu. This mission is taken from
the Axis Campaign of the full game.
This level lets you taste the experience of the whole game, providing
a unique and versatile gameplay experience.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
----------
- Please install the font provided in the core directory of the Demo before
playing (AgencyB.ttf).
- Please close down all programs before running DRvsAK. Task switching is
not advised while you run DRvsAK, several problems arise from that action!
- This Demo was optimized for current NVidia (with driver version 45.23)
and ATI video cards therefore you may experience problems (such as loss of
shadows) on other video cards. GeForce 2 and ATI 7500 family cards are also
supported.
- You can remap the keyboard shortcuts of the game using our own keyboard
configurer program located in the core directory of the demo.
- With Windows9x operating systems once you've changed the game's graphical
resolution, you have to quit the game in order that the modifications take
place.

Management:
-----------
You can acquire your starting units on this screen. We provide a default
setup for your convenience, but you can change your team's constitution.
The cost of the units can't exceed the scenarios "Mission Point" value and
the units availability is also limited.
The full game will have approximately 70 accurately modeled units each with
their own characteristics, the Demo Level lets you play only basic units
on the Axis Side.

Game User Interface (GUI):
----------------------
In the lower left corner there is the minimap. It shows the
explored area and the friendly (green) or detected hostile (red)
units as well as neutral units (black).

In the center of the upper part of the GUI, there are the control
switches: all units have a default setting with "hold position" and
"fire at will", but you can adjust it to your needs.
With the 11 square buttons you can give direct orders to the units, but
all commands can be accessed via keyboard shortcuts (see Options in the
game and Hints (can be accessed by pushing the "F1" button whilst playing).

The information window provides you with some of the basic properties of
a selected unit (such as HP, armor, firepower etc.). This is the are where
you can see the mounted infantry units by clicking on the icon of the vehicle
they're mounted in.

You can access the Mission Objectives from the InGame Menu or by pushing the
'tilde' button.

Game Controls:
--------------
As a tactical strategy game, making the right decision in the right time is
crucial. Therefore the game can be PAUSED any minute by pressing the SPACEBAR,
allowing you to assess the situation and issue new orders.
The game speed is variable, by using the "-" and "+" Numeric Keys, timeflow
can
be changed: it is especially useful for players who don't like to PAUSE the
game now and then.
Unit selection works by left clicking on a friendly unit. Left clicking on an
enemy unit shows you the parameters of the selected unit - same info window as
if it were a unit controlled by you.
You can select multiple units by holding down the left mouse
button and drawing a selection box above the units.
Orders are given by right clicking on a target. The order varies depending
on the target. The "Smart Pointer" shows the default action above a target,
but
other actions can also be performed.
Some units in the game have Special Abilities, which can be accessed from the
"Special Action" icon on the GUI.

TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ
----------------------

1/ Why is there an empty menu when I launch the game?
-----------------------------------------------------
The game requires a reboot. Please reboot your system and try again.
IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS :
you'll have to manually install the game font into your system font folder.
Take the file called "AgencyB.TTF" that is located in the game folder
(usually "C:\Program Files\Monte Cristo\AK vs DR - Demo") and copy it into the

system's font folder, (usually C:\WINDOWS\Fonts or C:\WINNT\Fonts)

2/ If you get the following message:
"This program requires T&L and stencil support (thus 32 bpp desktop!)"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The game requires an Nvidia GeForce 2 or ATI radeon 8500 video card, or above.

If you have one of these cards then you need to update your driver to make the
game run.

3/ If you still have a problem launching the game
-------------------------------------------------
Make sure you have the latest version of directX installed.
The game uses DirectX 9, that you can download from
Microsoft's website : http://www.microsoft.com/directx/
Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card
(see your card's constructor's website for more details).

4/ The game is too hard!
------------------------
You can change the difficulty level of the game. By
default, the game is in "medium" difficulty level,
but you can bring it down to "easy" (or go up to "hard"
if you're finding things too easy)
