Do you still remember the good old first Steel Panthers ?...

We can proudly present our improvement pack
for the Mother of all SP-family games

- now the newest 1..5 release (01. 01. 2003)

However the original SSI "Steel Panthers-I" is a magnificent game, but it contains many - smaller or bigger - mistakes and errors concerning both the units and formations, especially as for smaller countries. That's why since 1998 we have been developing this improvement pack.

We have improved a historic accuracy, correcting the data of all existing units.

We have also added over 250 new units to different countries. About half of them are completely new - most with new pictures!
We have corrected most of the countries, no matter how big they are - so that the gamers from so-called "minnor countries" should be satisfied as well.
We've tried to delete the wrong units only, and we haven't removed any country.

With our pack you can play almost every scenario from the original game! (the details are in attached text file).

If you have any comments or additional information - share with us!

See the illustrated list of new units in PIBWL 1.5 pack

You can read a documentation here
(it is also included in zip file below).

Now we present 1.5 release

Our thanks to Dan Morris for a help in the latest release!

In case you noticed any bugs, let us know.

To install our pack, you must follow these three simple steps:

...I'm sure you know what to do with it, but just in case you don't:.. :-)

1. CLICK HERE or HERE (mirror) to get new DATA FILES and documentation.

Then you should unzip it and copy 5 files: obbr, obja, obma, obpz and obus into your "Steel Panthers" main folder (or just unzip all into main folder).

Warning! These files will OVERWRITE the existing ones.

2. ...then click HERE or HERE (mirror) to get NEW PICTURES (and here for 2 newest ones).

Unzip them into your Steel Panthers "PIC" sub-folder (if you haven't one - you should create it).

Most of our pictures are COLOR now in 1.4 release (some are still black and white, but we'll be trying to replace them). That's why we suggest to install all the new pictures again. These should not overwrite any of the original pictures, but they will overwrite our earlier and worse new pictures and they might overwrite pictures from other private sources (it's recommended to manage pictures using a viewer, e.g "ACDSee").

3. ...Try our color improved pictures then!

The improved pictures can be installed even if you decide not to install the rest of our pack.

They fit well into either standard or modified SP-I, or into Steel Panthers-III, or even (after some name changes) to SPWW2.
