Don't you just hate waiting for the AI to play its side in those bigger John Tiller Games, ones like a Panzer Campaigns CAMPAIGN Scenario, with hundreds of units. Did you know there was a way to speed up the AI Play? The first trick of speeding up the play is to turn the sound off. You normally do this from the Setting Menu, by unchcecking the "Sound Effects" item. Now you won't have to wait for each battle sound to load and play. Did this do it for you or do you still need it faster? If not, try this next set of undocumented Hot Keys. Keep in mind, that once you get the Processor going at rocket speed, it is often hard to get it to stop, so I would exercise caution on that F8 key. As long as you have the dialog box coming up, then you can always press "Cancel", if you need to get control of the PC again. But once the Dialog is gone, and the game is going at the fastest setting, it is very hard to stop it. Therefore, switching back to the other AI speeds becomes an exercise in shear luck. However, once the game is saved and closed out, then reopened for play it will revert back to the standard AI Play speed. And I understand that these HOT KEYS are standard on all Johns HPS Games. If you find this is not the case, then please left me know.
