End-of-war German OOB
Hi.
I've been a SP player since I bought Steel Panthers 1 new...I still have Steel Panthers III installed using virtualPC; I first downloaded SP:WAW around version 3, I think.
Anyway, during all this time, over 10 years now, I've been wanting to play a game where I could have a what-if campaign that went from 1945-1950 as the germans (mainly assuming that the attack on the USSR did not take place until much later in the war, or possibly the early removal of hitler, but that is sort of beside the point).
I can ALMOST do that with SPMBT; Bulgaria, France, Romania, Turkey, Spain all have war-era german vehicles.
As best I can tell, though, there doesn't seem to be any Tigers I or II, Jagdpanthers or jagdtigers, Hummels, Sturmpanzer IV, Wurfrahmen 40, Kugelblitz, Panther II, E- series, PzKpfw IX, PzKpfw X, Schmetterling, Rheinbote, Feuerlilie, Taifun, Kramer X-7, etcetera.
Is there any chance that someone has allready made this OOB, possibly for green/red OOB?

Re: End-of-war German OOB
The jagdpanther is in the french OOB. There should be a Hummel in the syrian OOB.As you probably noticed there are also the panther, most of the versions of the PZIII/IV, Stug III/IV, Jagdpanzer IV, Hetzer,halftracks, as well additional stuff (PZI , maybe marder, planes, artillery etc).Basically pretty much everything that was in mid-late war use except the tiger family and some others variants. No Brummbär or the experimental stuff. The PzKpfw IX and PzKpfw X were just a propaganda ploy anyway.

Re: End-of-war German OOB
After a cup of coffe my memory has told me that, a long time ago (it seems like a millennia), some guy made just such an OOB using West Germany as a base.It was limited however to items I described. Basically if you do not want to deal with importing icons the Panther/Jagdpanther is the biggest toy you can play with.Some digging in the old yahoo groups might uncover it.

Re: End-of-war German OOB
On the other hand SPWW2 allows you to use all the German equipment but only in a timeline until december '46, but then you could also pretend it's later and just use the quipment...

Re: End-of-war German OOB
Thank you!
The file on the yahoo group seems to be corrupt; I posted there to see if anyone had a better copy.
And thanks, Marcello, I hadn't seen the Jagdpanther in the french OOB; you mention seeing a StugIV & a Hetzer, do you remember where? I found the 88's in the spanish OOB.
I'm sort of surprised that this isn't already done to death; in HOI2 I've fought WW2 as both the Byzantine Empire & the CSA, I'm sort of shocked no one has a mod for SPMBT allowing for WW2 to continue longer, maybe to the point where the Allied tanks were reaching parity with the known-to-exist german late war equipment.
I know, I know, do it myself.
