Thanks for the response, Wild Bill. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wild Bill [B]Hey IBT! The H2H is a good version of SPWAW and is designed for PBEM or head to head, 2 player type situations. It compensates for some lacks in the AI. For those who prefer playing a human opponent. it is a good system. It is not imperative that you have it to enjoy the game as it is. If you are one who often plays alone against the computer the current version and especially the new 8.0 version soon to come out will be enough for you. [/B][/QUOTE] Yes, I fall into the latter group so it seems that 8.0 is something I should be looking forward to. If you don't mind my asking, how will it affect my modifications to 7.1? I've tweaked a few OOBs and downloaded multiple scenarios into the scenario directory. Will 8.0 just copy the files into the 7.1 directory structure without my having to manually move and edit everything again? I realize the OOBs will probably be overwritten, but what about the scenarios? Will I have to copy them to a new directory and rename them again? [QUOTE][B] As for my Airborne series, it was done in a much earlier version of SPWAW and needs to be updated to the present versions. I could send it to you, but let me get it updated first so it will be more enjoyable. [/B][/QUOTE] Quite frankly, I'm just a small fish in a big pond, so I probably would not know the difference. I don't want to trouble you. I can tell that you are a busy man. I'll take whatever you can send me in whatever version you have. If it doesn't work--I can deal with it. [QUOTE][B] There are some good things coming out soon, very soon to celebrate version 8.0 They include a series of 10 battles based on Italian involvement in World War ii. It is a theme that has long needed developing and now a fine team of our Italian brethren and yours truly have put together some good insight into that part of the conflict. [/B][/QUOTE] That sounds great! I was shanghaied by a friend of mine into playing a pseudo-PBEM hosted in Yahoo groups covering WWII.[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WWII-whatif/] My friend and I and a fellow from Spain are roleplaying the Italians, so I've been interested in getting ahold of any scenarios that involve the Italians so I can become more familiar with their weapons and we might be able to use them to resolve combat although we are still only in 1939. I actually downloaded a slew of scenarios from an Italian site [http://digilander.libero.it/avantisavoiait/Scenari%20SPWaW.htm] but the descriptions are all written in Italian. I haven't played them yet, but have them stashed in a directory ready to go whenever I can get around to them. [QUOTE][B] Also coming out is the "Green Steel" package, 10 scenarios based on the use of Marine armor in World War II. They include Guadalcanal, Betio (Tarawa), Saipan, Peleliu, New Georgia, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Both of these series are done in the upcoming 8.0 version of SPWAW and will include many new map graphics amd featires/ As soon as version 8.0 is released, we will offer these to the public. They are ready and waiting. And, of course, there is the new Mega Campaign well on the way. So there is much to look forward to in SPWAW. The old girl is alive and well. Wild Bill [/B][/QUOTE] Thanks again, Wild Bill. I look forward to 8.0 and if you can find time to shoot me that airborne pack that would be great. My email is: [email]tyronevance@yahoo.com[/email]
