I'm not new to the game as I have the original SPWaW CD from SSI. The game has come a long way (ver 8.04 Matrix Games) and I hope the differences between them are small so I can start creating some good maps for people to use.

Should be fine with map editor, playing the game main diffrences in my opinion arty C&C ( game abstracts if out of contact slowly adds suppresion so they become less effective) & op fire. Takes some getting used to if you are used to everybody instantly seeing a known unit & firing back.

SSI never released SPWAW, only SP1,SP2,SP3
SPWAW is matrix games baby. Also keep in mind ,matrix totally dropped the ball on Steel Panthers:Modern Warfare.

Skirmisher, you are absolutely correct.

SP1 is the CD I have and I’ve just associated it with SPWaW from Matrix Games, just as it was picked up by Camo Workshop, SPWW2 has continued to improve the game. The saga lives on!!!

Yes they did drop the ball on Modern Warfare.

I look forward to getting my CD anyday now and can't wait to take it for a test drive.

Imp, I do use the realistic setting for sightings and have parked a tank or two on top of snipers and one man crews without seeing them...

I don't use C&C for small turn based scenarios as the turn limit is generally short and gives you no time to rally your units. I prefer C&C in longer turn based games, but I didn't like the way it was structured in SP so I really never used it.

Never played the original SPs so cant comment what I was referring to was the main diffrence between camo games & SPWAW which I used to play.

These great CAMO games are based on SP2, while SPWAW is based on SP3. There are many subtle differences. But to me the biggest is the terrain. We have what 11 levels of hill height in WinSP Games,while SPWAW has a meager 3 levels of hill terrian.

Hard to make realistic maps with so little elevation options.

I noticed that immediatly AND it was one of the major reasons for purchasing the game. I saw the map menu and the levels offered, and can't wait to start mapping and playing. The only way to do that in the SPWaW is to use the map editors. It's just too complicated for something that should be easy!

If you could tell me where I can download some 'well done' maps, I'd like to see what is available on the map editor.

There should be quite a few in the maps section. I would also get the map that Marek created and posted for my Silver Lions II Campaign here: [Sumava 100x100].
