Hi all Can anyone tell me whether any of the scenarios available for downloading will work with V3 of SPWAW (the version that came with PC Gamer magazine). I'm especially interested in the Stalingrad scenarios, but I'm reluctant to try one of them for fear of screwing up the game and losing my progress in one of the in-game scenarios I'm playing. Thanks! Tony

All of the scenarios that came with the CD including Stalingrad are playable in that version. So it should be no problem for you. Wild Bill ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

I was wondering if any of the *non* CD scenarios will work with V3, the version that appeared on the PC Gamer CD. I have the PC Gamer CD. There are several scenarios at The Gamers Net and elsewhere that appear to be for V2.3 and V4 of SPWAW. I'd like to try them, but if they'll corrupt my game files... Has anyone downloaded scenarios and played them with V3 of SPWAW? Tony

Tony, Any scenario on The Gamers will work on your game as long as they are your current version or below. What I mean is you said you had version 3 of SPWaW. Any scenario made for versions 1 thru 3 will work. Only problems you will have is if you want a scenario for version 4 or 4.1 . They will not work. Hope this answers your question. ------------------ Cavalry Trooper (8th US) and Grandson of a Leibstandarte Tanker.

Any scenario labeled 4.0 version (they should be identified as such) will probably not work for you. As Liebstandarte says, all the others will, and there are a number of them in the depot and on the support sites. You really oughta get the 4.0 upgrade. Its worth it. Just ask

Thanks for the info on scenarios, guys. I very much want the 4.0 upgrade, but it's a matter of downloading it -- I understand it's a 120MB+ file. Maybe I'll just begin the DL before going to bed one night! I understand from earlier posts that there's special software that will facilitate downloading big files. Thanks again!! Tony
