First of all this program runs just fine after installation, The thing that you have to do though is not use the wine version that the script installs for you.  Otherwise I just ran into crashing as soon as the game got past the intro videos.

Within Linux Mint 17.2 I installed the latest Wine that it would allow without adding repositories, which is Wine version 1.6.2.  All you have to do after installer runs is switch the Wine version within the configuration of PlayOnLinux to direct to the system installed version instead of the 1.5.9 that it installs with the script.  After that the game would run just like I would expect on an old windows box.

Another thing that may be useful to note is setting Wine to emulate a desktop is helpful from what I read around the net, and to not allow the window manager to be able to manipulate windows.

What works:

Skirmish

Music

sound

menus

what doesn't:

Unknown yet, not fully tested

What's not tested:

Campaign

multiplayer

I would submit an improvement, but I would have to learn what the coding is as I do not want to break it for someone else.

Operating system : LMDE 201403
Graphic card : NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M, nvidia driver version: 319.72
Comments : The game complains about inability to select 640x480x8 graphics mode and won't start. I guess it is some issue with the card.

I found a workaround is to use "Emulate virtual desktop" option. This allows to start the game and configure fullscreen gameplay in higher resolution. Perhaps a notification for user would be in order.
