WinSP MBT: Das Reich

[RecruitMonty]

Glad to be back!

I've been busy, as I said. The next version you guys are getting is compatible with 9.1 or whatever the latest version is called.

New sounds - some revised some added;

New sound mod (USA, USMC, VC, NVA, GB, Mujahideen, USSR and FR OOBs affected);

As well as umpteen little tweaks here and there. If all goes well it should be ready by early next week. Then we may as well wait until Christmas for a general release.

Have you given further thought to my suggestions? To reiterate I was going to suggest perhaps eliminating a few of the heavy bomber entries that may not see much use to squeeze in things you may find useful.

Overall I'm quite satisfied with the mod with the exception of it not always coughing up appropriate maps and of course in finding equal opposition. The Soviets and the US are the only ones who can really keep up, everyone else feels a bit squishy against the regular army. Israel circa 1960's starts to catch up though.

Admittedly, its a lot more balanced when you use the Expeditionary army (OBAT 44) against Mujahadeen/China/Iran other armies that are not as lavishly equipped.

I'll keep the bombers. I cannot think of anything else I need to add as such. I am having another problem at the moment. My maps and scenarios do not seem to work anymore since I updated. I have no idea what the problem is. Whether the maps are at fault. The Orbats in the scenarios or indeed the icons now that the resolution is much sharper. It is getting my goat.

Good news!

Fixed the problem and here is an update. Usual place. Name is in the title. Any problems let me know. Then I think its high-time, right? Right

Quick overview of the update: Assuming I installed things right and I think I did, 0 Series Leopard 1 is lacking its LBM. As are several other early Leo's:

Units 025, 028, 029, 032.

Sorted it out. You can find the missing lbms in a file called "missing lbms". Its a sub-file of the update. It contains the first 488 lbms. Let me know if there are any more anomalies with the lbms. If so I will do a general release again.

If this is the last beta release before going "live" then a full general release is probably a good idea - both as a "dress rehersal" and to ensure we all have exactley the same files.

After applying the update I noticed a few more missing LBM's:

Units 640, 641 in OBAT 35.

I am celebrating Christmas abroad this year with family and had, up until now, been unable to establish an internet connection.

After taking it upon myself - much to the dismay of the rest of the family - to unplug the router etc I now have an internet connection.

A general release of the mod will likely take place after the festivities. Maybe before the New Year. After one last internal dry run.

In the mean time I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!!!

Check your PM's chaps, I've sent you the pre-release.
