This is probably a flight of fantasy, but have the developers ever considered adding bridging equipment to SPWAW/SPMBT? <br/>

I'm picturing a "bridge layer" truck that could be parked on the bank of a narrow river (say, 100 yards/2 hexes ...

I have noticed in the game (8.2) that with depressing regularity I get what appears to be a non-lethal penetration of armor. The penetration value is shown as larger than the armor value, yet the AFV that got hit continues blithely on its way ...

Spww2 is a dos program, to take it off your hard drive you just need to delete the directory it is in and then delete any shortcuts you have to it. A massive case of KISS.

Ok, rule number one: the theme music at game start is hard-coded, so forget it. <br/>
As for the various menus, there may be some possibilities. After hearing the soundtrack to "Band of Brothers", which I love, I thought of recording certain ...

You need univbe, I have a voodoo 3 3000 and have to use the same for games like age of Rifles, SP SP2 and spww2. The voodoo at least works compared to the geforce 2mx that doesn't work at all.

As for 8.1 or 8.2. Well, honestly, and I hate say it but I'm dissappointed that it wasn't a finished product. The fact that there is an 8.2 after only a month or two is reason enough to doubt the accuracy of the changes. I know its free and I ...

<t> I just checked v7.1 (thats what is on this machine v8.1 is on another) and hull armor values are correct. Are you sure that you aren't confusing turret armor values for hull values? The turret front for a Sherman was indeed something like 100+ mm (averaging in gun mantlet etc). <br/>
