Just wanted to post a congratulations to Wastelands on bringing out SWE.
This gem has reginited my interest in this game.
Interface has been nicely polished.
and good to be able to complete a scenario without too many sleeps.
Brings back many Strategic Command 1 memories.
(all the mods from TOF also work)
great stuff.

Saw this on a Download Site, not sure which. Looked just like TOF Lite, wonderful idea. I am going to definitely buy this!

Thank you for your kind words Agent S.

It was my intention to create a game with possibility to complete during one weekend.
It is also a great alternative for all of those who found Time of Fury too heavy, too hard or too expensive.

Agree with Agent S (I didn't have the patience to wait for the Matrix version)

TOF mods working with SWIE is a very nice bonus. In fact I'm using Agent S modern map and NATO counters mod with it already.

Quick question for Agent S on this - is there any quick and easy (needs to be as I really don't know what I'm doing) to modify your NATO counters to remove the Division (XX) and Corp (XXX) designations as for SWIE these now are Corp (XXX) and Army (XXXX) respectively and given that the size of the unit is represented by filled and unfilled unit type boxes already the XX/XXX/XXXX on the counters are not really needed.

Also, soviets are missing plane symbols on circular counter, even using modded set like Agent's. Thanks!

Wolfe,
This is a mod for SWE.
It now shows xxx and xxxx.
The .txt file attached needs to be renamed to .zip
It contains the modified info.png file and a corresponding land units.csv file. These need to replace your existing Unitskin files.
If you want to remove the x's open the info.png and delete the small white x's near the centre top of the image. (just make sure it's saved as a transparent .png or things will go pear-shaped).

My unit mod doesn't use circles.
I fired up the barbarossa scenario and fighters and tac bombers are fine for me, running default mods sets.
Post a pic.

@Doom, corrected; but you need to improve your game icons.

Two questions -

1. Is Swe published by Matrix?

2. Does the publication of SWE mean that there will be no small scenario for ToF that was in the works?

1. It is going to be published by Matrix.

2. The small scenario for ToF is going to be published.
