This version is found on the CD Action No. The date on the DATA.A00 file is, the file size is 17 755 090 bytes. 48 according to the readme, but its internal designation is v.0.0072: Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles The installer help file contains text in French which suggests that perhaps the beta was originally leaked by a French magazine, but this is not certain. This version appears to be not limited in any way, it contains a large number of scenarios, the campaign mode and mission builder, and several saved games, apparently intended to show gameplay to reviewers. The main installer file (DATA.A00) is 15 561 910 bytes. The catalogue records four coverdisks with this version: SCORE No. The beta is dated 18 July 1995, the installer files 8 August 1995. Using Hallfiry's catalogue I have identified three such pre-release versions: This false impression was probably reinforced by the fact that the betas came with the same type of installer as the regular SSI demo versions. It appears that SSI were sending out pre-release versions of some of their games to magazines for preview, and several have ended up on magazine cover disks, mistaken for legitimate demo versions of the respective games.
