WINSPWW2?

[narwan]

WinSPMBT is the windows version of the DOS SPMBT game which in turn is based on the DOS SPWW2 game. If I'm not mistaken both derive their ancestry from the SP2 game while the WaW series are derived from the SP3 game.
The groups who have been developing the different sets of games (SP2 based or SP3 based) have different views on some elements of the game. The end result is that it allows for a wide selection of SP games to choose from.

Narwan,

Thanks.

So would it be fair to say that WinSPWW2 is effectively SP1 (since SP2 is not WW2 orientated) "upgraded" to the same standard (i.e. Win compatible).

Whilst "Steel Panthers World at War" is effectively SP3 "upgraded" to the Win compatible standard?

Just trying to work out if the upcoming WinSPWW2 will effectively replace my current copy of "Steel Panthers World at War" or whether I should retain both.

You should retain both and play both and decide for yourself which you like most.

Welcome to the dark side, hehehe. Do your Mac friends know?
Can you now buy all the new games that are PC only?
I have played SP1, SPWW2, SPMBT, SPWAW and now WSPMBT.
Enjoy them all. Vs AI or vs a human they all have pluses and minuses. Don't use CM tactics in SP and vice versa.

I have a swag of PC games already (used to use Virtual PC) such as Panzer Commander, Panzer Elite, SP1, 2 and 3, ATF, BCT, M1 Tank Platoon 2, Steel Beasts, Star and the Crescent as well as WinSPMBT and the SPWAW.

Virtual PC was too slow and the non support of graphics cards meant newer games would just crash.

Anyway the XP box just sits in the corner and only has games on it. Doesn't get email so it should stay relatively virus / malware free.

Also I can put CMSF on it and get a heads up while waiting for the Mac version to turn up.

Any possibility to add Philippines and Thailand into WinSPWW2? And how about Croatia?

I sugest this forgoten cauntrys

- Lituania ( from 1930 to june 1940 this cauntry has his own land army airforces after this date cauntry should disapear but was antisoviet partisants. After germans invasion they were equiped by germans for fight with polish partisants they were a help units for germans and after bagration operation to 1949 should be like before antisoviets partisans.

- Latvia (1930 to june 1940 should be too a nice OOB. After disapear of this cauntry should be antisoviet partisants and after german invasion latvian fight in his own SS units for independent of his cauntry my grandfather remember this soliders in his vilage near Bydgoszcz when they retrat on west in january 1945 after rusian reocupation should be once more antisoviet partisans

- Estonia (1930 to june 1940) the same history after rusian ocupations were a partisans then fight together with germans in SS units for his cauntry indenpendent to the circa 1955 rusians fights with Esti partisans

- Ukraine (proposition june 1941- may 1945 was only indenpendent in short time 1917-1918 and was occupy by sovits. But after german invasion in 1941 was create a ukrainian goverment and SS Galizien division equiped by germans. They fight on the eastern front than against polish partisants and surrender to americans in Austria in may 1945 moust soliders were send by western alies to russia for ded's camps as a gift for Rusians. Because Stalin said "I moust have all this traitors". And don't forgot about "UPA" (Ukrajinska Powstancza Armija) this partisans forces was created in in end of 1942 (don't repudiate german ally Ukrainian goverment) fights with germans polish underground AK and rusians. They fight for the indenpendend Ukraine to the circa 1958. After WWII they fight in Poland , Czechoslovakia and USSR.

- Mongolia (1930 to 1949) they were secound comunists cauntry on the world in 1924 after soviet invasion. They were firsts soviet ally. Army equiped by rusians fight on Chasan lake and in all another fights with Japanse on the Far East. Was used too with rusians army in the invasion on Japanse China in 1945

- Manchukuo inner Manchuria (1931 to august 1945) Japanse ally has his own land and air forces eqiped by Japanse. Should be a third chinse OOB

Thailand has existed in SPww2 for years!

Re the Baltic states... yes it would be intereresting but No. Maybe some other time but not now.

Mongolia I'll think about

Manchukuo was entered into the game last week. The list of new nations is listed here

Slovak Republic
Manchukuo
Italian Socialist Republic
Vichy France
Chinese Communists

That list *will* stay this way and not grow until we get ALL the other details of the game conversion sorted out ( and there are many ) and these five OOB's are completed. When that is all done and IF we both still have a sense of humour left I may.... ***MAY*** consider some of these other suggestions.

Will you still have some "blank" OOBs so that indoustrous person can make some of the OOBs you don't make?
