I found the first MP44 and the box next to it which is supposed to have MP44 ammo; but the box is only full of Enfield ammo. I've looked all over and can't find another box at this spot. Can someone please help me in this search? Thanks in advance.

Take your mp44 in your hands and take than the ammo from the box

Thanks Lars. I would have never thought of that.

Are you also trying to complete the optional objective?

Yessir: As a matter of fact I completed the mission before hearingf from Lars. I completed the 2 primary missions, hidden secondary objective (MP44 but didn't use it). and hidden secondary objective, all team members must survive.
I'm contemplating playing this again just to see how to convert Enfield ammo to MP44 ammo.
Thanks for your interest.

Well, H&D2?s ammosystem is rather unlogical but IMHO, it works.

And as Lars said, you just need to swap the weapon to your hands and that?s it.

Live and learn is what I say oldih. It never occurred to me to do what Lars and you suggested. Both times I found an MP44 and both times I found an ammo box; all useless because I didn't use my brain. Fortunately I was able to finish the mission and one more. I'll probably play it again just to learn what you and Lars have pointed out. Thanks again for all the help.

My sincere thanks to oldih, Drozdov. Lars, ViTaMiNhM203, Grimples, et al, for their assistance in helping me with this great game. I just finished it and would not have been able to do so without the generous help you men provided. Now I'm about to start H&D Deluxe which I believe is an older game; and hope to receive Sabre Squadron in the mail from UK in a few days. I haven't had this much pleasure in a game in a long time. Once again I am most grateful to all of you and hope that you might be on the forums for these other games. All the best from:

Pukey: You tried multiplayer yet?

Now I'm about to start H&D Deluxe which I believe is an older game

Yes, it is re-released H&D1 and it?s expansion in short, with retouched graphics and so on.

One thing you just need to know, that it is really older, both technical and so on. It takes some time to get used to H&D1?s movement after playing H&D2 pretty much.

Thanks. Do you know where I can get this version? I bought H&D Deluxe and it's giving me fits. It loads sometimes, other times not. Then I never get a complete menu; have to click maybe 20-30 times before any part of a menu shows up. Once in a while the game starts but then I can't pick the team automatically because the button isn't there. My CD version is 1.50 and the free download is 1.51. Both have the same problem including vertical and diagonal lines flashing on and off. I would be most grateful for any advice/suggestions, etc., and to know where your version is available. Thanks.

Have you configured your 3D card settings from the game settings? There should be some some hardware configuration in H&DD, like Start -> Programms -> Lonely Cat Games -> H&DD -> Hardware configuration or something like that.

Yes, there is a "configure" item and unfortunately it doesn't allow for brightening the picture, like H&D2. Take 2 Tech Support is looking into the problem and I sure hope they can help fix it. I also replied to your other message and forgot to tell you that I did enjoy playing Babes in the Woods. It wasn't too hard but tricky in certain portions of this mission. All the best.

If you have choosed the reference rasterziser you will only get black screens. Check if you have chosen the hardware acceleration

[quote=""Lars""]If you have choosed the reference rasterziser you will only get black screens. Check if you have chosen the hardware acceleration[/quote]

Hi Lars: The configuration has always been set on Hardware Acceleration, 16 bit and 1024x768. And the screen is still black. I haven't given up yet because I can see very vague shapes; just have to figure out how to brighten the screen. I'm hoping Take 2 Tech Support and nice people like you will come up with a solution.
Thanks again.
