Steel Panthers World At War Manual for v5.0 Now Available for Download

David Heath · Post by **David Heath** » Wed Apr 25, 2001 7:23 am

Well Guys

The CD is off to get printed and then to our warehouse. So I wanted to give everyone a chance to read the manual a little early. So I posted the v5.0 Manual online now. Brent Richards, Kevin Greer and Paul Vebber really worked there butts off to improve this version. I will also be updating the features page on SPWAW web site listing what got to make it into the new version.

If you like to read the manual early go to

Just downloaded Ver 5 manual and tried to open using WinZip7 and got an error saying it was an invalid archive. I deleted the file and re-downloaded it (ahh, the wonders of the cable modem) and got the same error. File size is 11,029 kb after download. Problem on your end or mine?

Thanks, Steve.

You guys are too fast - looks like the file took a hit in upload - we are trying it again... Sorry about that!

No problem. Let us know when the corrected file is available and us guinea pigs will be glad to test it out for ya. Nothin else to do these days except waiting by the mailbox for the MC to arrive. Figured reading through the manual would hold me over till it came.

Thanks, Steve.

Ok, I am old school when it comes to gaming, but will you guys ever sell a printed copy of the manual. They look better and are much easier to use in the heat of battle than a printed out version.

Downloading it as I write this..so works fine. So just try again or perhaps your internet provider has some firewall or had some problems that prevented downloading.

ps. if you have GetRight, you also have a browser parasite program..see: http://www.infoforce.qc.ca/spyware/
