Status: offline 		NOW INCLUDED IN PATCH, SO NO NEED TO DOWNLOAD SEPARATELY!!! Many thanks to Matrix for acknowledging my hard work.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


FIXED FULL VERSIONS FOR PANZERBLITZ & PANZERLEADER!
(fixed several issues with initial PB release; all now functional)

Recreated the interface screens to suit my grognard fancy, complete with original box abrasions and rubbing. Those who understand really need no explanation.

This replaces almost all of the interface screens but doesn't alter the map and/or units. Can't say I want to go THAT extreme. Also, I've included two icons (see last screenshot), although you have to create the shortcut and change the icon from that furry Russian hat thingy. Enjoy.


NOTE: This has no PB/PL scenarios. I think you can find those elsewhere. Check the mod subforum, I think there's a link. This is strictly cosmetic.

(SEE ALTERNATE DOWNLOAD MIRRORS IN POSTS BELOW, THANKS TO JASON AND HERMANN)

Also, for some reason, I can't seem to alter the DamageResults.bmp file. It always reverts to the original, even after the bitmap is altered and the color reduced to meet the game's specs. Any enlightment on that would be appreciated as well.

Also, I plan on altering the buttons too ("Previous", "Exit", etc). Just haven't had time yet.

I would imagine but I don't really know.

Hmm, good question. I will take a look over the weekend.

Oops, forgot those words were actually sorters. Everyone hold up on downloading this, let me fix it and reupload in a bit.

Almost finished with Panzer Leader. Odds are I'll release it tomorrow.

Status: offline 		Just fixed the problems with PanzerBlitz (forgot it has a different bitmap for linked campaigns, now included; also inserted text next to scenario-sorting buttons--thanks, dudalb--and fixed several other small issues). So please redownload if you have the first day release.

PanzerLeader now released. Links are at the top.

Thanks for the hacking tip, warhorse, I just downloaded the freeware.

Hmmm, just had an idea for Rising Sun . . .

This is absolutely awesome.....like many, I cut my wargaming teeth on 'blitz and 'leader

One small glitch. After downloading blitz my attempt to download leader resulted in a message that I had reached the download limit for free usees and must now pay to be able to download more.

Is it possible to post this somewhere that people don't have to pay to download?

Yea I did that for the first one. The second one doesn't offer me the free option with the security code. It tells me I have reached the limit for free downloads and must now pay to download more.
