Yes, I discovered SPMBT while looking for the patch, and spend the whole of yesterday playing it! also joined the mailing list. I think I will stick with this, but for "old school" completeness I think I'll have my patched version of SP2 standing by

Happened to come across my old SP2 CD and fancy a game. I've got it working on XP, but I can't find the 1.1 patch anywhere. The SSI site seems to no longer exist, an the link on the Wargamer site is broken - can anyone help out?

<t>Yeah - I have seen lots of photo's of US armour being used for indirect fire in late 44 / early '45 - especially M10's for some reason (guess lack of German armour around and obsolete gun)<br/>
<br/>
I have also read accounts of 88mm airbursts, although this could be down to misidentification by ...

I don't have the "oob to Excel" link in my program folder for some reason, but I also tried the oob dump tool and also got just junk - lots of 255.....

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Back in the mists of time someone kindly took the trouble to produce a great Excel spreadsheet with all the unit data, weapon penetrations, etc , etc - a great resource when purchasing your force. Can't remeber the creators name, but is anyone aware of a similar thing updated for ...

<t>One question - is anyone considering revising the scoring system? I guess not based on recent comments that version 7.0 / 7.1 will be the final mod's before effort is transferred onto other projects…..<br/>
<br/>
I ask because, barring disaster about 75% of my PBEM games end as draws. I'm also ...

Anyone know when the complete version 7.0 file will be avaiable for download? I need to replace all my patch files with a nice new installation CD!

I'm playing the Brit's in a 41 PBEM game, and so far have lost 6 Matilda's to Pz-IIIJ ACPR with no losses to the Germans. Don't know if it's bad luck or the IIIJ has a much better perfomrace than the IIIE

<r>I started a recent topic around a similar issue. You may be interested in some of the comments – could be the OP targeting which “un acquires” the previously targeted unit regardless of accepting / declining the shot. This was in 6.1, so I don’t think it actually an issue thrown up by the new ...

<t>There has been a lot of debate about this, and I agree it’s a difficult subject, especially for PBEM. You don’t want to upset your opponent by putting loads of conditions in place before you play.<br/>
<br/>
I tend to prefer historically factual battles, but others prefer good old slug fests. I ...

<t>Thanks for all the replies guys. I think the OP fire issue could have been the cause for continually dropping back to a 2% hit chance.<br/>
<br/>
Seems the jury is out on the effectiveness of AA guns in the AT role, but I know the pre July '44 Americans are in need of some firepower to make up ...

<t>Following a recent PBEM game, I’d thought I’d write here to get some advice from the experts! I was playing US vs Germany. To compensate for the lack of a decently armed American tank (early ’44 so no M36) I brought Sherman’s Flames for close up work, and covering 90mm AA guns to handle the big ...

<t>Been playing a guy PBEM for 10 turns into our current game. I played out my move with no problems, then hit end turn.<br/>

One of his Typhoons came screaming in and took out a Panther with a rocket, then another appeared and stopped a hex in front of it's target. While the Typhoon was ...
