NEW UPDATE TO SPWaWSG AT TANKHEAD'S SITE!

[Tankhead]

Hello Everyone!

Scott Grasse sent me a new update on Steel Panthers Scenario and Battle Setup Guideline V1.04. You will find the update on my Main page.

SPSG!

Welcome to Steel Panthers: World at War Battle Setup Guidelines (SPWAWSG or SPSG for short). This utility allows players to setup historical and realistic combat formations for SPWAW. Important information on using the tables can be found in the SPWAWSG1.2.doc. The original concept for this utility began in 1998 and was designed for use with SP: Squad Leader - a modified squad level version of SP3 that was the launching point for SPWAW.

There are several items in this package including:

Word.doc v. 1.04
Windows Help file v. 1.04
Word.doc v. 1.2
Excel.xls v. 1.2
Windows 95/98 v. 1.2 (it has not been tested on Windows ME or NT that we know of but should work just fine).

Differences from 1.04 to 1.2 include:

· The addition of historical country matchups for all periods of WWII.
· Typo and bug corrections.
· Intelligence reports were removed in 1.2.

Please note that the documentation files were written before SPWAW was completed, and some things may apply differently to SPWAW (the setup boundaries for example do not take the new large maps into account). Most contact information in the .docs is no longer valid. Unfortunately, we do not provide tech support for SPWAWSG. Please use the SPWAW forums found on various web pages for discussions and support.

Windows version

All the aspects of the .doc version of SPWAWSG v1.2 have been incorporated into the Windows version. However, please note that purchase point adjustments made based on a country's moral and experience are generated using SP3 country values which may have slightly changed in SPWAW.

We suggest using 1.04 as a reference to generate ideas for supplying intelligence reports to your opponent, or to use the handy quick-reference format of the Help file (but be aware that some minor updates will not be in the 1.04 versions).

We also highly suggest you view the v. 1.2.doc versions. This will give you a strong understanding of how the forces are being generated. Note that the SPSG generates historical country matchups and realistic force compositions. Although some parameters can be changed in SPSG (such as country, date, battle type, etc.) some things cannot. In this case, the .doc files will help you generate your custom battles.

Thanks for playing!

TankHead,
I downloaded those files. I see it is for SPI not SPWAW. Any chance that we can get an upgrade of that for SPWAW?

Hello Larry!

This is the upgrade for SPWaW, please read all the documents. I have use this package to produce some good historical battles with no problems. It will not generated the battle automatic in SPWaW, what it will do is to give you a set of guide lines with TO&E to setup battles in SPWaW manually. Just like the title says "Steel Panthers Scenario and Battle Generator Guideline" Using this program with the good TO&E document sitting in your root directory of SPWaW.
