Any other mirrors?

Post by Sgt. Pringle »

Hi there,

I'm new to hex-strategy gaming but i've been recommended to download SPWaW to get me going.

But the problem is the links seem to be down and i can't find any other mirrors.

Any help would be appriciated

Welcome Sgt.Pringle

I just tried and the links did seem to work, just that there were too many users logged on. You just need to wait a bit and try again. In my opinion the Swedish Games Domain mirror is usually the best bet.

Patches and OObs? I think i need to read some FAQs!

I've read about the mega campaigns, they look great. Everyone recommend them?

Sgt Pringle: Check your OOBs in ver 7.1, should be dated 04/07/02 if correct din't sweat next step, if incorrect go to top of page and click on 'DOWNLOADS' then after click on 'icon (box) for SPWAW (lower right corner box), then scroll down the downloads for SPwaw OOBs. Next and should be done scroll down to update file and download and install.

The Mega campaigns are great and as you've probably seen a new one is due out shortly (Screaming Eagles) and also ver 8.0 of SPwaw. I have 3 myself and looking forward to no. 4.

One more version of SPwaw is also available (free), H2Hfr from Panzer Leo's site. This requires a second install of 7.1 so you end up with two versions of the game on your comp.
H2H scenarios are not completely compatible with 7.1 and vice versa.

Any more questions ? Good Hunting

Thanks for your help chief. I'll be home tonight so i'll be playing again.

Really getting into it, it's a top game and so in depth.

Is it possible to go co-op when you fight online?
