duh! - no sooner than I posted that I did a Google search on 7z file downloading. I found something called 7z458.exe file download and will try it out tonight. One thing in question is that will this mod give a greater emphasis on the types of battles fought between the US Navy and Japan during WW II? I was looking to see in campaign mode radio telegrams on alerts on military actions happening and actually participating to attack the Japanese fleet as they were either enroute to a battle or withdrawing. It was discouraging to respond to the game's alert to a all naval presence like Midway or Coral Sea on Japanese military action only to sit around like a bump on the log just waiting for action.
When the mod files are extracted; would they simply replace the existing files in the game by copying over the existing ones? Hopefully this will be a great mod. I used to play close combat V and am looking for a change of action!
thx much!
