I went to play the game when I found something interesting..I had made a copy of sp-waw and deleted the scenarios but forgot to delete the oob's I thought I did but did't but aparently when I installed the h2h mod it created a separate sp-waw-h2h folder which contain's a pic,save,scen,.snd and shp file but all in the lower case as opposed to higher case lettering in the original in the sp-waw folder.The scenarios appeared in the sp-waw scen. folder but the pic's and the snd and shp appear not to have been overwritten and also the oob's appear to have not been changed.I d/l'ed the oob patch that gmenfan posted deleted the original oob's and pasted the h2h oob's to it.Also pasted the pic's snd and shp over the original and don't seem to have any problem's of course took only a cursorary look,anyone else notice this.Also in the original PIC I found two seperate folder's marked Iron Cross and Swastika and in SND a seperate Stream's folder so I opened them and pasted them to their respective folder's the swastika and iron cross overwrote some files but the stream file just slide right in my question is did anybody else notice this or is this normal and did I do allright.Had SP-WAW for over a year and just now found these seperate folder's.[edit ..sorry the swas. and iron cross were in the SHP folder]

I just installed the H2H today and noticed the same thing. I deleted the extra folder twice and finally realized what it was doing. When the install box comes up after you click on the install icon the "extract to" file box shows the location of the game C:/matrixgames/spwaw and it is highlighted. At that point if you click on okay it creates a seperate folder and puts everything in there and you wonder what the difference is until you figure out it didn't take. If, however, you click on the browse button and identify the actual location in the "extract to" pop up box it will properly load and overwrite in the proper game directory and everything will look cool when you play. Good Luck;)
