Okay on the Talonsoft titles I have burned images for be aware that I had to transfer the files to hard drive and then do an image from a folder. For some reason Talonsoft used a bad sector proection method on their disc and so every talonsoft title I have tried so far has that issue. I will go ahead and post the links as soon as they are finished at mega.nz
In regards to the Talonsoft titles for the The Operational Art of War. I have them going all the way back sadly those are packed away somewhere, not even I would know where. I do have The Operational Art of War Century of Warfare edition and will get that uploaded when time permits.
Okay here comes 3 programs.
Steel Beasts: https://mega.nz/#!5Bh0kCDT (grab it quickly in case it gets deleted). Note this is the esim version. Strategy First purchased the rights to redistribute under their label. I have had issues with S1st in the past with their installers. So the e-sim version should be fine. If you can't find the patches let me know. Here is the link to review information http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/steel-beasts
East Front II Fall of the Reich. This was a special expansion you had to order from Talonsoft. I don't remember ever seeing them putting this product in retail stores (but of course it has been decades). Supposedly this was included in the Matrix version of John Tillers Campaign Series. https://mega.nz/#!BBwW0K4K
Finally, Talonsoft Battleground 9 Chickamauga. https://mega.nz/#!hQZWhaZZ
Let me know if these are what you wanted, especially the talonsoft versions, as I said they have a file error on the disc to prevent creating an iso, so the files have to be copied to hard drive and then an image created from the files copied to the folder on the hard drive. I tried to keep everything exactly as it appears on the disc and didn't change any names or folders.

Max, first a huge thanks for sharing; it's nice to see other classic Talonsoft collectors exist

Regarding copy-protection, I would suggest creating the disc image in clonecd (.ccd) or even better -- MDF/MDS (using Daemon Tools or Alcohol Soft). In my humble opinion, it's important to keep the image identical to the original disc. Making a 1:1 backup would preserve everything - copy-protection info, bad sectors, audio tracks, HFS (hybrid Windows/Mac) volumes, etc. If you simply transfer files to a temp folder in hard drive and then create an image from that temp folder, it will lose a lot of information (which may not be important to the player, but for someone who is interested in preserving history).
To give an example why this is important:
I asked in another russian forum for the Operational Art of War series. Virgil was kind enough to share Century of Warfare that he obtained from someone else. Now his image size is only 376 MB (iso), but the actual game image is at least 525 MB compressed (bin/cue) according to FLT's scene release.
The reason his image size is small is because he probably used the same method as you to create the image i.e transfer files from cd to harddrive then make an image from there. We don't know if it was identical to original cd, or if he forgot to include audio tracks, or if it's another game version, etc.
Also, keep in mind the game is 15-16 years old now. So it shouldn't be too difficult to preserve all "bad sector" info in the image using mdf/mds or clonecd.

Thank you for those, I have the East front (gold edition - it includes the main game + expansion) and the Battlefront series. But I'll download your copy also, mainly to see what the differences are.
I'm very interested in these extremely rare TOAW games:
The Operational Art of War Vol 1: 1939-1955 - Elite Edition
The Operational Art of War II: Elite Edition
The Operational Art of War Vol 1: 1939-1955 - Wargame of the Year Edition
The Operational Art of War: Century of Warfare
Would be grateful if you could upload them
Thank you
EDIT: oh, I also have the same problem with the Mega link asking for decryption key :/

Updated Feb 26 2016: Corrected duplicate link for bgc and ef2fotr
Sorry about that, been so long since I used the mega service, I chose the link without the key (thinking that meant no key needed)
Steel Beasts https://mega.nz/#!5Bh0kCDT!ehaQAsIwDq9isUGfhIWrWnE2NgRFgEuIKeX4YefDZ58
Battleground 9 Chickamauga https://mega.nz/#!hQZWhaZZ!cNdOBbPNZ6Rnsa1b1Gqodrutv7ozOhcY9aw7PYNbEg0

I will redo these images with the bad sectors saved. So be aware that the two talonsoft titles were not an exact copy of the disc instead an image of the contents that were moved to a folder on a hard drive and then imaged. Working on new disc only images now.
Okay what settings should I use in clonecd: When selecting disc type, do I select Game CD or Protected PC Game?
Under options for Game CD/Protected PC Game which should be checked
Data Read Settings
-Read Subchannel Data from Data Tracks - Yes or No?
-Regenerate Data Sectors - Yes or No?
-Read Speed Data - Max
Error Handling
Fast Error Skip Settings - Automatic, Off,on?
Abort on Read Error - Yes or No?
Don't Report Read Errors - Yes or No?
Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner - Yes or No?
Sector Skip - Pick a number, default is 100
I haven't used clonecd since everything is digital downloads these days, but have a full license. I tried Daemon and Alcohol some time ago and got no where with a disc that should be able to be copied. Also Daemon/Alco caused issues with my system so I would not want to use either one of these. Now the CloneCD created three files, .ccd, .img, and .sub. Should I send all three in a zip file or only one file if so which file?

No problem. Daemon Tools (MDF/MDS or MDX) is useful against much more advanced copy-protection systems like TAGES and StarForce. In our case, CloneCD should be enough since this is an old game.

You need all three files - ccd, img and sub.

Protected PC Game
Цитата:

Leave them all at default settings. (don't change anything)
Once the image is created, remove your original disc. Then mount the image and install the game from the virtual drive. Start the game. If you get a "Please insert the original game disc" or some similar error, then the image is probably not an exact 1:1 copy of the original.
If the above fails, try this step-by-step procedure from GameCopyWorld for creating an exact copy with Clonecd.
If you can play the game from the virtual drive without using a no-cd crack or a Fixed EXE, then congrats! You made a perfect 1:1 clone
Good luck
EDIT: I don't know why, but I'm having trouble connecting to this forum for the last two days. I get a "connection interrupted" error message, unless I use a proxy :S

Great news the copy of The Operational Art of War Century of Warfare. I will include the 1.04 patch in the zip with the other files for the image using clone cd. Here is link regarding the patch and getting new and old scenarios to work. http://www.the-strategist.net/RD/docs/toaw/
Installed game via the mount. No need to run in admin settings or make any changes to compatibility. REMEMBER, WHEN INSTALL COMPLETE DO NOT CLICK NEXT OR REGISTER. You must turn off your computer, so when it finishes install, do not do anything to advance or finish the install, you must turn off your computer. Do not allow Windows to terminate program. Hold down your power button or however you have your system setup to turn the computer off. Then restart computer and game should be fine. You need to apply the 1.04 patch as there is an issue with drvmgmt file. My computer is Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Geforce 770, Core i7-2600k, 8GB DDR3, SB Xi-Fi Titanium (no sound issues either).
Things to be aware of, resizing of the screen you might get some lines left on the screen. Game worked without any compatability settings needing to be checked so leave alone. Looks almost as good as it did the first day I got the game, back whenever 1990's????
I remembered not to forget to the link with key this time https://mega.nz/#!JdpXFIgI!E6AgJ2terRBCRYu1YwF31CZ2lrIxdEl526g85xeCcu8
Inside the zip you will find:
toawcow.ccd
toawcow.cue
toawcow.img
toawcow.sub
cow.zip - this contains the official talonsoft 1.04 patch. No others patches needed.
Hope it works. Also are you still needing any of those other talonsoft titles (I don't have the elite versions, as I didn't fall into their trap of rebuying and rebuying newly renamed versions of the same thing. Battlegrounds 8, Middle East, East Front (and if possible specify version - gold, elite, goty or whatever it was called).
Anyone want a copy of the 101st Airborne game (think it was put out by Empire Interactive, this is not that console like game that has a like name).
Twilight 2000? Don't know if those outside the US know of this title. GDW was the board/paper game developer and game was put out by Microprose. I thought it was okay even if it was clunky and hard to use. Let me know. I have the original installed to my hard drive (I don't have a 3 1/2 drive anymore - so can't give you copies of the floppy disc) with any patch provided by Microprose.
For achtung spitfire, I have the one they released back in the 95/98 era. I have not heard of a version for windows 10. You have to fool with compat settings to get it to run in Windows 7 64bit. It was patched to v115 since it could not run without it I believe (this was a clean install followed by the patch. This is not a download from one of those old game sites). I don't know where the original cd is, this is really old (I could check storage but could take a longgggg time). If the 115 version is okay, let me know.
I also have the other program they released, Over the Reich, also the disc is in storage, but I have the patched version on my hard drive. Let me know about this one. If you want the original disc, will take a while to locate, if at all. Same install info on this one as being done from disc then patched with official patch from Avalon Hill.
Does anyone have Flight Commander 2 with editor. If so that should be listed with Achtung Spitfire and Over the Reich.

I really appreciate all the trouble you took to doing things the right way. I installed and tested (before and after the official 1.04 and unofficial 1.06 patches) and everything appears to work. Thank you my friend.
As for the other games you mentioned, many of them can be found at www.oldgamesfinder.com so you don't have to spend any more time creating duplicates. If any of the other Talonsoft titles (or other old games) that you have are not listed on oldgamesfinder, then please consider adding them to www.legendsworld.net or www.theisozone.com since it violates the rules of this site.

I had to change dns to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 Torrents still download fine no matter what the dns is. As I said this is off topic, but from what I have read I am spinning around in a death spiral like a wwi pilot whose plane just got shot down.

Sorry to ask stupid question, but to clarify: in order to get Soviet Corps you just need download 1.25v patch and then make the registry edits? Do you need to create "Soviet.txt" file with serial in the game directory?

I did the whole Soviet Corps install using the 1.25 installer, the registry edit, and added "Soviet.txt". All have SERIALS that work. In the game I still can't access the Soviet Corps material. It still asks me if I want to purchase the Expansion. All other expansions and DLC work. Anyone else having trouble getting Soviet Corps to work?
Thank you for any response,
