Scenario creation Poll

Well, I guess I'll just have to start from scratch

or see if there's a way to import files into the game. Do Fred Chlanda's (SPWaW) editors work on SPWW2 maps? AND are the MBT maps compatabile with the WW2 maps?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'll be waiting a few days for the game to arrive. I just thought I'd try to get a 'head start' on things until it gets here.

The answer to all is yes
Fred Chlandas does work I believe there is a version out there.
MBT & WW2 fundamently the same game maps are interchangable
Worth having a long play with the map generator can do some quite effective stuff & welcome to 160x 200 maps with multi elevations 13 I think. No walls before you ask worth a quick look at the guide explaining sticking/bog chance of terrain. (help tab on splash screen)
Namely rough mud swamp soft sand streams fords buildings snow drift,driving through slowly is the order of the day & sticking is class dependant. 2 wheel trucks to track worst > best

There are also posts on gameplay diffrences between the WAW & camo games plus several good map threads try a search

I'm not new to the game as I have the original SPWaW CD from SSI. The game has come a long way (ver 8.04 Matrix Games) and I hope the differences between them are small so I can start creating some good maps for people to use.

Should be fine with map editor, playing the game main diffrences in my opinion arty C&C ( game abstracts if out of contact slowly adds suppresion so they become less effective) & op fire. Takes some getting used to if you are used to everybody instantly seeing a known unit & firing back.

SSI never released SPWAW, only SP1,SP2,SP3
SPWAW is matrix games baby. Also keep in mind ,matrix totally dropped the ball on Steel Panthers:Modern Warfare.

Skirmisher, you are absolutely correct.

SP1 is the CD I have and I’ve just associated it with SPWaW from Matrix Games, just as it was picked up by Camo Workshop, SPWW2 has continued to improve the game. The saga lives on!!!

Yes they did drop the ball on Modern Warfare.

I look forward to getting my CD anyday now and can't wait to take it for a test drive.

Imp, I do use the realistic setting for sightings and have parked a tank or two on top of snipers and one man crews without seeing them...

I don't use C&C for small turn based scenarios as the turn limit is generally short and gives you no time to rally your units. I prefer C&C in longer turn based games, but I didn't like the way it was structured in SP so I really never used it.
