Hi,
I'm the proud owner of the Subcommand & DW DVDs that I bought and have played years ago. I'd like to re-visit these games and my concern is to install and run them correctly on today's systems.

My current OS for gaming is Windows 7 x64 on a i7 4GHZ with 16 GB RAM and a NVidia GTX 960 4GB VRAM; VMWare to emulate Windows XP + Win98 CE.

Can I run DW or Subcommand in VMWare + Windows XP? Or should I install these with Dosbox + DFend in my Windows 7 ?

Then I don't remember: Is the submarine part of DW the Subcommand game on steroids, or is Subcommand the better choice if you are interested in Sub warfare alone? I have for both SubC + DW a lot of mods that I have saved on CD years ago, I vaguely remember that DW has more random elements in the missions and warfare (also when it comes to create missions with the editor), but I can't remember exactly, thanks to refresh my memory

Thanks for a feedback!
