Hi Gents!
As a frequent participant of this forum, and an avid SqB player, I thought I might share something.

I have noticed that some are not real happy with the top-down mods officially released by the company not too long ago. Well, I never updated my existing games to the top-down mod, and they work just fine in PBEM with opps who have installed the most recent mod.
Just saying, is all.
Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Yeah. I wish I had never pressed the update button. Too late now. I no longer have the old installers.

Would love if you could put the images in a zip folder for each game for those who don't have them.

Or the installers. I still have my SB serial numbers. I have AOTR, Eagles, FWW, RV and WW.

I just checked the HPS Eagles Strike update some, but not all the relevant graphics were updated, not enough to make it worthwhile downloading. I haven't checked the other games in the series but I imagine the same will be true for those too.
I'm not a fan of the top down graphics either especially since the graphic (vehicle, weapon, etc) doesnt change facing. I think if it did, I would be a fan of it as I am an ASL player.
Luckily, I made backups of all of my "MAP" files before updating.
I have the last installer of AOTR, ES and RV before the update.
Do I hear $200 each! Canadian.....(That's a deal BTW)
Seriously, when they broke the game, I quit playing.

Well, to each his own, but you are missing out on Blitzkrieg, desert warfare and more now.
