Just recently purchased this game off the Matrix Games site, downloaded the game and I am now having trouble getting it to load and play. First of all, after my initial download, I was required to purchase Winzip to load my game. I have bought numerous games off of Matrix and have never had to buy another item to load my game. (technically this is the first time I have bought a game with the download only, normally I buy the CD option too, so if this is why I need another download tool I'll know never to do that again). Anyway, purchased Winzip, loaded that, game still will not download. I am not very computer smart so I need suggestions from the guru's out there to tell me what I am doing wrong and how to get my game loaded up. (I have already submitted a help ticket thru the Matrix Games site but I will take any and all the help I can get). And BTW, now that I have Win Zip, will this help me if I want add the numerous Panzer Corp user created scenarios and campaigns. I know that these are not like the BA and BA2 where I just go to the game and add the new content thru the game. I am not very computer savvy and having tried to add some of this material just absolutely eludes me and I would really like to try some of this new material.

Try using winrar its free

You don't need to purchase a third party program to unzip the downloaded game installer file.
Your Windows should have a built-in unzip program.
When you unzip the downloaded file OrderOfBattle-Pacific-SetupRelease-183.zip you will extract two files one for PC Windows named OrderOfBattle-Pacific-SetupRelease-158.exe and the other for MAC OSX OOBP-GM-1.8.3-Mac.dmg.
Perhaps you are trying to unzip also the MAC file. This file is only for MAC users. You should install using the OrderOfBattle-Pacific-SetupRelease-158.exe file.
Anyway I've noticed that you have already opened a Matrix Games Helpdesk ticket and I have provided you with a download link containing only the PC Windows game installer file OrderOfBattle-Pacific-SetupRelease-158.exe.
