Hampstead, NC, 08 May 2007
The Camo Workshop and Shrapnel Games would like to report that a new patch
for
winSPWW2 is now available for immediate download from Shrapnel Games. The
patch,
only about 2 MB in size, upgrades all versions of winSPWW2 to version 2.5.
While small in size the patch addresses several important issues, which are:
* 36 Updated OOB files
* Upgraded ScenHack
* There was a problem in the game campaign code affecting some players that
would
prevent them from deleting a campaign core formation after purchase. This
has been
fixed.
* A bug in ScenHack would prevent players from loading scenarios made with
version
2.0. Fixed.
* The OOB changes are mainly the result of correcting discrepancies between
some
weapons and units in the various OOB's that use them. All OOB's were then
put
through the cost calculator once again to ensure uniformity .
* Smoke shells will only be issued to land based 60mm - 159mm caliber
artillery and
mortar units. Rockets will not have smoke issued except for the German
Nebelwerfer
41 15cm rockets.
The version 2.5 patch may be downloaded from the following link:

winSPWW2 is a tactical system covering combined arms combat between the
years 1930
and 1946. Featuring both historical and hypothetical engagements, winSPWW2
uses the
classic SSI game, Steel Panthers 2, as a foundation to create one of the
most detailed and
intense gaming experiences on your PC.
Longtime wargamers will appreciate gameplay reminiscent of the best
boardgames, with
the time-honored use of hexes and turn based play. No real-time clickfest
here! Fans of
historical simulations in general will love the robust elements found in
winSPWW2, such
as literally hundreds of individual scenarios to choose from, and a number
of scripted
long campaigns. winSPWW2 also fully supports multiplayer for two players,
either
through single-computer hotseat play or via e-mail.
winSPWW2 is available as a FREE download or a purchasable Enhanced CD
edition. In
both cases the core game remains the same. The free download includes all
the scenarios
of the Enhanced CD edition, supports multiplayer, and is fully supported.
The Enhanced
CD edition is just that, providing gamers with a number of enhancements to
their core
gameplay experience. Owners of the Enhanced CD edition can play the game in
resolutions up to 1600x1200, a map editor that supports creating small maps
easily out of
one large mapfield, 250 secure PBEM slots, encyclopedic sorting, and the
ScenHack and
CampaignHack utilities.
