I've saved a bunch of these websites on my hard drive for both nostalgia and inspiration.

Leondus' SP2:Vietnam project. Had a lot of fun, and was extremely disappointed when he lost the final mod in a computer crash, and declined to pick it back up when SP:MBT came out.

The Wargamer's section for SP2:Vietnam.

The old Stalag 13 BBS.. I remember playing all the Team Yankee scenarios, then my elation upon finding a copy of the book lying around somewhere, reading it, then playing the scenarios all over again. God, I was 13 or 14 then..

Wow, The Wargamer with its old logo of General Longstreet riding next to a Tiger and an Apache.

The Wargamer's Steel Panthers section from ten years ago.

I remember getting home from school, going straight to my Aunt's house to mow her grass for 30 bucks, and not being able to cut it fast enough because I wanted to get home quick to download this, since I first saw it available the night before when Mom and Dad finally told me to go to bed.

This was a little weird, I remember downloading it and I want to say it was Martians versus WW1 Germans..

Not sure whatever happened with this.

SP Archive. Not much here.. never was.
http://www.sparchive.itgo.com/index.htm

Nothing ever came of these.. nothing I ever saw, anyway.

http://web.archive.org/web/20010429021647/http://www.wargamer.com/sp/middle_east/

This section at The Wargamer was all I ever saw of this mod.

Hehee!

This site was always cool, had some great scenarios.

The original WW1 mod.. don't know what happened to it.
http://web.archive.org/web/20010805083956/http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Barracks/3151/spww1.html

Like the Africa mod, I never saw anything beyond the site. There are two incomplete MOB files, evidently, but I don't know whether this was intended to be anything more than that.

Remember any good links?

I can explain what happened to the SPWW2 WW1 mod. It's makers were OTBRL (Overtaken By Real Life) and it was never finally finished. There are orbats playable in SPWW2 available on the Yahoo group.

Certainly good to see you still around, Troopie. Ah, the Internet Archive site is incredible for bringing back old memories.

If Andy could be persuaded to take SPWW2 back to 1914 (a few years back he said it wasn't a difficult code change IIRC), I have the oobs nearly ready. All I need is an icon maker.

Apologies for posting to the wrong forum, but the thread was already here.

I think I have the Team Yankee scenarios in Hapshott’s Steel Panthers II Scenario Collection, a 27~ MB ZIP containing a LOT of SP2 scenarios.

http://www.alternatewars.com/Games/SPanther/Hapshott_sp2_scen.zip

Not sure. But if you go into the EUROPE folder of the zipfile, SCEN018 to SCEN029 are TEAM YANKEE scenarios by Keith Heitmann.

SCEN034 is the FIRST CLASH scenario on that Stalag13 page.

BTW; all these links, along with the recent demise of the Wargamer's Scenario Depot (it stopped working in 2011-2012) is why you should always save everything for your wargames.

Otherwise; they'll be lost to the mists of time.

I miss all those Steel Panthers pages of the late 90's. I remember when Andy Gailey's gameplay patch/mod for the original Steel Panthers came out, it gave infantry combat a chance rather than the main focus on tank combat. We've come a long way since then. I'm really glad and thankful to see further interest not just from the Camo Workshop, but from the community of scenario & campaign builders, i'm really proud to be part of this WINSPWW2 & WINSPMBT community. :up::bow:

How many other game released in 1996 are still being played ,supported and advanced?

NONE.

However, other communities have merged efforts to prolong the life of other wargames series of the late 90s, such as Close Combat, Combat Mission, Operational Art of War, Gary Grigsby's wargames, and so many other turn based operational/strategic/tactical "oldies", but still i haven't seen anything yet that can outrank or even come close to WINSPWW2 & WINSPMBT in the tactical turn based wargame subgenre.

I'm really enjoying "War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition" as a strategic war game (if played as the Japanese, because they can control their production).
Talk about a BIG and LONG game!

I haven't tried WIPAE yet, i have the standard edition from matrixgames, excellent wargame, no complaints. I played Gary Grigsby's Pacific War when it first came out, never played War in the East though.
