I'm going to have a crack at getting TA working. A couple of people seem interested, so I'll do a bit of research and see what I can do.
Might fail miserably, but what the hey.

I busted this out just yesterday. I have the game, but I don't have the expansion.

Me neither. It's got a pretty antiquated MP interface, but I reckon I might be able to host a game. It will certainly require the 3.1 (I think) patch and it is recommended that the patch is put on to up the unit limit to 500.
Only trouble I had was after I set up a game I couldn't start it, but that might have been because nobody else was connected.

We played this a bit at uni. (shit, we played Doom 2 at uni.)
I found it depressing, as it wasnt nearly as good as i remembered. The interface caused me great anger.
I think I'll probably sit it out untill the new one is released.

first of all, i've just re-installed this, and it works.
second:, make sure that there is a port forwarded on your fire wall/router if you are hosting.
seventy-twelvety: a new version you say? with fully 3d view points and being able to drive units in first person? and its available for no cashmoneys required?

well, i've just had a 5 minute mess about, so i thought i'd report back.
its.......well...it aint TA thats for sure, it plays more like battlefield (not BF1942,BFV,or BF2, i mean the first person rts from a coupla years back)
iits actually quite a laugh building a base, then using your commanders D-cannon to blow shit up.
Graphics arent up to much, but there playable. hmmm. this warrants further inspection, and i suspect it could be quite good in MP.

Well, it is from 1997 or thereabouts. I had a blast with the MP back then.

That TA Sprinig looks entertaining/bonkers. I may have to give that a go.
