OK a question for some of you out there. has anyone work up a table/system for converting the DS vehicles and weapons to the computer game Steel Panthers II? I'm in the process of doing this and would like to avoid lots of hack work if someone else has trodden this path. Waiting in anticipatiion,

Now that would be a wonderful idea. Have you seen the Steel Panthers II WW2 modification? That involved changing a lot of SHP files as well as stats. You can probably ask them about it. The WW2 mod is on www.thegamers.net Just goto the Wild Bill's Raiders section. I bet they have e-mail addresses of the people who worked on WWII, and they'll probably have advice for you.

Well thank you kindly. I've already leeched a few utilities off this excellent site. The SHP file editor is great. I'm hoping to recreate all the standard GZG vehicle images this way. However it is teh conversion of stats for weapons types and in particular Grav and Power Armour that has me stumped. The ability to change the National Flag displays is great! I must admit I haven't contacted Wild Bill's team direct yet. Thanks for the response. For those out there that haven't seen Steel Panthers I or II, I'd HIGHLY recommend it.

But I do like the new capabilities of the game though.
