Enhanced CD winSPMBT Now
Shipping!
Last month server admins around the
world earned their pay when The Camo Workshop and Shrapnel Games released the
latest and greatest version of The Camo Workshop’s Steel Panthers Main Battle
Tank (SPMBT), winSPMBT. Bringing what had been always a DOS game into the world
of Windows, winSPMBT was made available as a free download and wargamers around
the world were quick to show their love for the most detailed, and well
respected version of Steel Panthers to grace their screens, with a frenzy of
downloading that continues to this day. At the same time as the free download
was made available it was announced that an enhanced CD version would soon be
available. And so it is.
Now shipping is the enhanced CD
version of winSPMBT. If you live, breath, and eat Steel Panthers then this is
definitely the version you’ll want to have. As the name implies this is not a
totally different product from the free download, it is an enhancement aimed at
the serious grognard, or anyone wanting to get the maximum potential out of
their gaming experience. The CD version adds the following features:
* Printed quick-start manual. * High
resolution support up to 1600×1200. * Over 250 PBEM save slots. Start an email
war with China if you want! * Secure tournament password play, perfect for
tourney organizers. * The encyclopedia can be sorted and filtered for quick
information gathering. * Full featured external map editor supports multiple
levels of undo, and handles large scale cut and paste operations. * Jack
Thompson and Hillary Clinton safe!
And of course you get winSPMBT on
your CD so you don’t have to download it. There is no difference between the CD
version of winSPMBT and the version you can download. Both are free, and will
provide you with thousands and thousands of hours of gameplay. The difference
(and what you’re paying for) is in all the enhancements found on the CD; the
deeper map editor, the tourney features, et cetera, along with the physical
product and the intangibles such as all the hard work that went into the
enhancements.
winSPMBT may be ordered directly

winSPMBT is a tactical turn-based
wargame of modern combined arms warfare from 1946 through the present and beyond
whose roots can be traced back to the original SSI classic Steel Panthers 2 game
released in 1996. The Camo Workshop, with the blessing of SSI, first released a
WWII conversion of Steel Panthers 2 in 1998 and soon the MBT version followed.
With many years of work, a massive number of contributors, and thousands upon
thousands of hours of research and refinement The Camo Workshop has continually
upgraded their "super mods" and the result is today’s winSPMBT. This is easily
the most accessible, most exciting version of Steel Panthers out there today,
boasting the highest level of fidelity when it comes to modeling the modern
battlefield. Accept no lesser imitations!
Look for the Windows version of
their WWII Steel Panthers conversion coming soon. For more information on
