How can I be sure CORE is installed and utilized?

[JohnMK]

I installed CORE, I find it inside my HoI directory, but when I start HoI it appears no different than vanilla HoI. Scenario names are identical. Is this the way it should be? I thought for sure the scenario names would be different. Simply put, I want to start a new game in '36. Tell me how I can be sure I'm playing it CORE-style?

Thanks folks.

If you installed CORE correctly, and the installation was good, you should have a CORE icon on your desktop. You will need to start CORE with that icon. You will get a DOS box pop up (that you can close), indicating that the province and text csv files for CORE were copied into the main HoI directory, and will shortly there after launch HoI with CORE (using the mod-dir).
