a run down on how to play on the 1042 Expert level

This disk makes a fine example for learning about the "hidden directory" trick, which is how disk APX 20050 is encrypted. The game file AUTORUN.SYS can also be extracted without editing its disk image, by employing a utility named "The Scanalyzer", of which there's a PDF booklet in the Utilities database.

disk number 20050 has a crude encryption that prevents extracting the game file named AUTORUN.SYS .
Protection is removed by changing one byte in the disk image, offset $B423 from a $46 to a $2B .
If copying the file you'd at first get an incomplete result 10206 bytes, which does nothing if launched. After the correction, you can extract the file the ordinary way and get the whole game 13581 bytes long, then rename it EF. Not a corruption, this was a deliberate encryption.

This is how to select 1942: F3 is select; F4 is start; and F5 is reset. Press F3 until you reach Expert; then press F4 and then F3 again and then F4 to start on the 1942 level.

I have a manual. How do I down load to this site for everyone's use?

This is a reply to Jeff who had a question about the use of airpower.
Air power goes over the unit that is going to be the attacking unit. The closer the air power is to the attacking unit, the more power you get.

My very first favourite game ever! This game is a gem

Just tried to play this again, but can't find my instruction book, so I have a question... Do you move the air support unit over your ground unit that is attacking or over the unit you are attacking? Many thanks for any help!

The information for this game is incorrect. It was available as early as 1981-82 on cassette. I know I was playing it. I'll try to dig my copy out of storage to get the exact production date. BTW Great game!

Only during the Cold War could a game exist where you're on the side of Hitler's army against the Soviets.
Either way, they just don't make games like this anymore.

I got this free with my Currys/Dixons 800XL set. No decent instructions and I never understood what I was doing

Great Game. Anyone know where I can get the expert 1941 and expert 1942 game for the pc?

Having the instructions for the games in pdf format would be great.

My first wargame and I can say that no game since has impressed me as much Eastern Front did. I used to have to wait 15 minutes for the game to load from cassette, but it was well worth the wait.
Focusing on tactics and strategy rather than flashy graphics, it's a true wargammer's game.

The Atari UK tape version is different to the cart version.
