Hello everyone!
As discussed quite exactly a month ago, here comes the new installment of the Cold War 2020 Mod for WinSPMBT v4.0!
To those who don't know the mod yet, here is the idea: the USSR has not gone bust, the East-West standoff has continued uninterrupted from 1990 all the way to 2020.
Nothing too original, but this means three decades of unfettered force consolidation and military development, FMS and shifting alliances.
Now think about it in wargame terms...
There come Comanches, T-95s, Marder-II, Block-III MBT, and a lot more! No force reduction, no oldies kept in service for decades without replacement, no Shinseki doctrine (well, not too much), now you can have fun wreaking havoc in germany with the best technology that will
never be available!
The mod installer contains:
1. 20 historically modded OOBs: Russia (USSR), USA, West Germany, East Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Libya, Algeria, Chad, Mujahedeen and Japan.
2. 160 new IA picklists
3. 832 new icons
4. 1369 new B&W .lbm pictures
5. 52 presentation-screen color .lbm pictures
6. 356 encyclopedia text files
7. 7 stand-alone scenarios
8. 1 complete campaign
To play, just install a new, clean version of WinSPMBT v4.0 (that's to prevent wrecking your custom files or your PBEM games), and run the mod installer over it.
about this:
[official warning]
"This mod contains highly altered or additional files that may or will cause interference with the master game files and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that this mod be installed and played ONLY in a separate copy of the game and NOT run from the master game"
[/official warning]
You will find the mod install on Fabio Prado's Armor site, who kindly offered to host it and saved you all from the bother of unregistered RapidShare queuing:
Fabio Prado's WinSPMBT page with the Cold War 2020 mod install. If you didn't already, you should really check his site on the way, it's a great reference on armor and SP-based wargames, but I guess you all know this last part.
Just in case,
here is the backup RapidShare link.
As always, I am open to commentaries, criticism, corrections, death threats or fan gifts
Have fun!
