Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far

Fine game originally, crashes every time

This game has held up very well over the last 20 years. It's just as fun to play as it was when it first came out. That is, until you get to the mission results screen. You can look at all the pretty medals your men have earned, and then watch the game crash to desktop when you click on the proceed button. It used to happen occasionally, now it happens EVERY. SINGLE. MISSION. Both my German and Allied campaigns have come to a halt as I play the same mission over and over and over again and watch it crash every time. Naturally, you have to play through the entire mission to completion, as the game only saves after you exit the Mission Result page, not when the mission ends. So everything you did just evaporates and you have to do it all over again. At this point the game is unplayable. I've tried following the suggestions for making the game stable, nothing works, and I'm not a computer scientist. If I pay for a game, it should work. It shouldn't require arcane workarounds to suss it back to life. I understand it is an old game, but if it's for sale here and now it ought to work.
