Issues fixed

Game does not start on Windows 8 and later

Use replacement DLLs[5]
  1. Download the latest version of ogg-winmm.
  2. Extract to the installation folder, replacing the existing files when prompted.
  3. Delete or rename win32.dll.
  4. Rename winmm.dll to win32.dll.

Also ensure that there is no spaces in the name of the folder that the game is installed to. By default, GOG instals it into a directory called "Incoming Forces". Eliminating the space allows it to run.
