Celebrate July 4th with a free wargame! SP CAMO group and Shrapnel Games unite to offer download of SP:WW2 v7!

Cary, NC July 4, 2004 - SPCamo Workshop and Shrapnel Games is pleased to announce that the latest update SPWW2 SPCamo is available for free download from Shrapnel Games! SPWW2v7 and SPMBTv3 tactical level wargame based on the code for the game Steel Panthers 2 released by Gary Grigsby, Keith Brorsen and SSI in 1996. SPWW2v7 covers 27 countries for the years 1930-1949 and SPMBTv3 both teams and the organization of 90 nations 1946-2020. The game uses a hex map and alternate turns (I'm going to go or IGOUGO) design.) One unit playing piece represents one vehicle or weapon, or an infantry squad (section of up to 13 men) or a section of 1 to 4 support weapons. One game hexagon represents 50 meters of land. A play of the game (player 1 turn plus player 2 turn) represents approximately 3 minutes of "real time". This is a program for MS-DOS, but works with most Windows installations when using VESA compatible video card. The game also runs under and OS / 2 and Linux with DOS emulators. Both games have been widely OOB updates for these versions and the code has been expanded to allow up to 999 units and formations for each country in each game. Hundreds of icons of new vehicles and 13 completely new terrain features added. The maps are fully transferable between the two parties. A lot of work has been done with the code of the map and the maps can be created as small as 20x20 and can be expanded in increments of 10 hexadecimal on both axes X and Y to 200x160 spells. Another improvement of the game is a map generator that allows maps to be created automatically through 19 different variables. Now allow the OOB summer, winter and desert versions of the vehicles to be entered and had a full set of icons WW2 German and British Desert added vehicle, and a full set of winter icons for the Germans and Russians in WW2. These will expand further strengthening of the games. We wanted to give something to the community that so generously supported us over the past 5 years. Richard Arnesen, Vice President of Business Development for the Shrapnel Games has said. SPCamo Group has a long history of producing top quality products for the Steel Panthers community, and the latest version is no exception. We hope you all enjoy the release of SP: WW2, and be sure to check in a few weeks for the release of SP: MBT! About GamesShrapnel Shrapnel Games was formed in 1999 by Tim Brooks, a graduate of the University of North Carolina with a degree in Business Administration. Tim, who has always had a passion for war and strategy game, were frustrated with the world of traditional computer game. War games have been gradually becoming extinct due to publishers' obsession with titles brilliant but shallow. Instead of seeing his passion turned to memories Tim lifted by the tail and did something about it. Shrapnel Games is now recognized worldwide as one of the best editors in the award-winning team of war and strategy titles on the market. About SPCamoSPCamo is compensated, volunteer group of enthusiasts committed to improving the Steel Panthers game system for the benefit of other fans to enjoy. Our original game SP2WW2, first conceived in early 1998 and developed and released in December of that year. Many thousands of man hours were put into these games and we are getting closer to our goal of completing this project. We hope you can play both games as we enjoyed creating them.For related press information please contact Scott R. Krol to: skrol@shrapnelgames.comFor any other information, please contact: Timothy W.
