winSPMBT and winSPWW2

Press Release PROVIDED BY GAMES PRESS

For Immediate Release

Hampstead, NC, 01 May 2008

Tactical combat fans everywhere, rejoice! The ultimate turn-based squad level computer wargame system has once again been upgraded! Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Camo Workshop in their quest for ultimate wargaming perfection both winSPMBT and winSPWW2 have new patches ready for your downloading pleasure. And as you've come to expect from the dream team of tactical wargaming these patches do more than just kill a bug or two, they manage to enhance your entire experience with a multitude of new additions. The best keeps getting better!

The new winSPMBT patch brings the game up to version 4.0 and includes the following changes:

In addition there are twenty-four gameplay enhancements, revisions, and eliminated bugs. Highlights of some of these changes include:

And much, much more. You can read all the changes in detail on the download page.

The patch for winSPWW2 brings that version up to version 3.0 and includes:

Like winSPMBT there are also a lengthy list of eliminated bugs and gameplay changes.

Some of these include:

Can you guess where we're going next? If you said, "And more!" give yourself a cookie.

The complete list of changes can be found on the download page.

Speaking of the download page it's probably about time to point you in the right direction for these patches. Both patches can be downloaded from Shrapnel Games at the following pages:

winSPMBT and winSPWW2 are the original official "super mods" for the classic SSI title, Steel Panthers (specifically working off of Steel Panthers 2), but over the years have grown from being a mod to a total reworking of the beloved game system. Deconstructed and rebuilt in every aspect, the core gameplay may have remained the same but players will appreciate all the tinkering beneath the hood that has occurred.

With literally hundreds of scenarios and the ability to easily craft your own (or find others who have already done so), these are games that can be endlessly replayed. There is a reason after all that a decade later the Steel Panthers community is still as strong and vibrant as ever. Finding opponents for multiplayer gaming is easy, and the computer opponent is always challenging if you're more interested in playing at your own pace.

Both games are available as FREE titles or available for purchase as Enhanced CD Editions. While both types provide the same core experience as one can judge from the name the Enhanced CD Edition well, enhances, what you get with the free version. The Enhanced CD Edition provides higher resolution options, separate map editor with cut and paste functionality, encrypted tournament play, 250 PBEM save slots, and encyclopedic sorting. The free version and Enhanced CD Edition is fully compatible with one another, so free owners can play against Enhanced CD owners, and vice-versa.
