Unzip the files and copy them into the relevant directories of a clean second copy of SP

I did it but it didn´t work out well, I will have another try. Do you know what the difference is between these three 1-0P, 1-1P, and 1-6P versions?

[scorpio_rocks]

my understanding is that v1.1.6 (1-1-6P) is the latest version (approx 20 months old) and is compatible with WinSPMBT v10.


All info and installation instructions are contained in the readme files - unzip and copy the contents of each folder into the same named folder in your COPY of the 2016 version (V10) of WinSPMBT

I just bought the game and the download came as V11. Is there a way to get V10?

And from what I´ve figured this mod needs all three packages to be installed because otherwise some steps in the readme don´t make sense.

I have seen that RecruitMonty has been missing from this site for over a year, so I have little hope, but it would be very nice if RecruitMonty or some of his friends could give us the last patch he was working on. Anyone have any news about it? Many thanks in advance

Last I heard RecruitMonty was moving / changing job and had had computer issues. Other than him all anyone has is the last release version v1.1.6 (1-1-6P). The link to Mark's mirror still works I believe (see post #432).

We must await RecruitMonty's return as only he was working on the next release.

Good evening Fellow WinSPMBT Fans,

After a long hiatus, I am pleased to say that I am back.

I've moved countries, gotten married, bought a house, adopted a dog and done quite a few other things besides.

Somewhere along the way, I lost my login details. Recently, I found an old email address for Shrapnel Forums and was fortunate enough to be logged back in.

I have good news for you. There is a new version of the mod - compatible with Version 16 of Win SPMBT available.

When I have all the files together in a neat package and they are loaded up to Drop Box (link generated etc). I will post it up here along with some screenshots of what to expect in the latest version.

The installation process, I am afraid, will still be old school - read the readme and follow the drag and drop instructions. Take the good advice of the devs and create a copy of the vanilla game for the mod.

It will only work with Version 16. I am sure that there is a newer version of Win SPMBT out, but I've not had the time to update everything again and to be honest we are already maxed out as far as space is concerned for mod content.

I have a rudimentary Japanese OOB, which I am working on and I may create and Italian one at some point in the future.

The write up of all the changes and additions will take a while for me to put together but I should have something ready for you all in a month or so tops.

In the meantime, I am sorry that I've been away for so long.

Watch this space for new developments.

Best Regards,

RecruitMonty

Congrats on the Lady, house and Doggo! - Good to have you back

It's good to be back.

As promised, I'm going to load up some screenshots.

First up, a look at the E-50, known in Das Reich as the Panther II



Here you see the whole series from Ausführung A through to E (in the light configuration, found in OOB 44). Note the changes to the later model turrets and the inclusion of obsolescent models, which have undergone a Kampfwertsteigerung (old chassis, old turret, but new gun, optics etc).

Next we have the Löwe Ausf. B1 and B2



The Löwe is included in Das Reich as a lighter and cheaper alternative to the E-75. Less common, but still built in sufficient enough numbers to warrant upgrades into the late 60s. A variant will feature in one scenario, which will be made available with the mod.

Here we have the first three models of E-100 with the Henschel and Adler turrets



Known in Das Reich as Kaisertiger, they play the part of the mainstay of the Super Heavy tank class.

Here are the rest of them into the 21st century





Moving onto the sea, for a moment, here are some landing craft



Some gunboats and fire support for amphibious operations



Staying on the water, here is a screencap of the starting line for a force of marine infantry in an alternative Indochina scenario



These Marines are supported by Amphibienpanzer and Amphibienschützenpanzer.

Here is an example of an Amphibienpanzer IV's stats



The marine landing forces of the Reich in the mod are modelled on those of the French and American armies IRL.

Finally, for today, some Jagdpanzers



A glimpse of the Leopard StuG



... and some E-100s



In the next few days, I will be posting more screencaps to show you all what has changed and what to expect from the new version of the mod.

When I have all my ducks in a row with the mod files, I will host a copy on DropBox and post the link in here.

In the meantime, enjoy the picture show.
