New Upgrade Patch For WinSPWW2!

There's a new upgrade-patch out for Win SPWW2. Read the details in Shrapnel Games' newsrelease:

Woo hoo, a new upgrade patch for winSPWW2! Once again Camo Workshop has shown why they are masters at their craft. The version 4.0 upgrade patch not only provides the typical bug corrections found in patches, but it also provides plenty of awesome new content. When you consider the first mod work done to the Steel Panthers series by Camo Workshop was begun over a decade ago, it's pretty amazing that ten years later they can still find cool new features to add!

Overall, here's what you get with the 4.0 upgrade:
22 New scenarios
52 Revised scenarios
6 Revised campaigns including the ANZAC campaign
96 New or revised photos
29 New Icons
36 Updated OOB files
40 New or revised text files
4 Revised Sound files
17 Revised graphic files
Upgraded ScenHack, MOBHack, and Cost Calculator

Additionally, there are twenty changes/ additions/ corrections to the game, such as:

New explosive class added giving players booby traps, demo charges, and fougasse.

Buildings that are destroyed and collapse on units can cause casualties.

A tank turning its hull to face an enemy will no longer turn the hull directly 90 degrees.

Passengers dismounting from a vehicle in a minefield will be tested to check for mines being set off.

All OOBs have had every unit and formation trimmed back to 12/46 where the OOB still existed in 1946. All OOBs have been checked for units that started before 1930 and the few that were found have been corrected to 1930.

An extensive comb through of the weapon list was done to correct deviant and erroneous errors.

Two development programs are now available: ArmourCalc and APCalc_WW2. Useful tools for gamers really looking to get into the nuts and bolts of winSPWW2.

And of course, many other changes that are detailed in the updated documentation when the upgrade patch is applied.

The winSPWW2 OOBs as of version 4.0 now contain 12,143 units, 4,626 weapons, and 6,769 formations. This is truly a game that you can play for the rest of your life and not get bored with.
