The time is 1944, the place is war-torn France. The Allies are poised for the great drive to liberate France from the Nazis. The troops, tanks, and guns are ready and waiting. But unless the vital supplies keep flowing in, the Allied armies will ground to a halt. Can you indeed "Win the war by Christmas of '44"?

Red Ball Express is a unique combination of a trucking game and a wargame. You only indirectly control the combat units, but your decisions control the course of the war in 1944, because even Patton doesn't move forward without gas.

Install the Game

1. Unzip redgame.zip. This file can be easily unzipped via the WinZip utility found (among other places) at home.cnet.com
   
   
2. Run the setup program to actually install the game. It will prompt you for the directory to install in. Your "install directory" can be c:\SWB\redball or whatever else you choose.
   
   
3. NOTE: If you run the game from the Launch menu at the end of the install, it will run okay, but will be in the wrong directory for saves. Just use the controls in the save menu to put you in c:\SWB\redball or wherever.
