To prepare, make a folder called SBWW2, copy your AoTR contents and paste into this new folder.
1)organize the contents of the new folder by extension, remove all oob, and scn files, as well as all the folders.
2)Unzip the download into the new folder.
3)find the executable JSGME.exe and activate it, this will bring up dialogs about a mods folder, hit ok and close, this will ensure the mods folder is ready to go, this contains scenario-specific terrain, which will be alerted to your attention in the scenario description, if it uses Winter, Desert, Fall, etc.
4)If a scenario does call for special terrain, activate JSGME pick the terrain from the left pane, hit the right-hand arrow in the center to enable, then close once it is done loading, reverse procedure to uninstall.
5)There are a number of original scenario's in the release that have been modified to use the infantry graphics correctly, ie leaders are single men, squads three.
6)This is, for now only a 2D view mod, due to the extensive additions of equipment, and the disasterous state the 3D are in at the moment, I am not addressing them at this time, so I have omitted them, as 3d will not show most equipment.
6)This is also top-down based, so no way will the original side views work, and am not going to address that either, way to much work involved.
7)in the notes folder are lists of alternate units for making scenario's, and a few terrain type files, explaining differences from normal terrain, if any

Chad has graciously made a new ladder entry for SB-WW2 mod, so all game results for this mod can get logged under that, am still uploading scenario's, but there are quite a few entered already, and we included all that we have made, with the exception of some new untested ones that didn't make it to release. I have three more coming soon.
Special thanks to John Pirman and Ashley McLeod for the excellent help in creating scenario's and playtesting, as well as Javi, (Pepe Botijo) for playtesting as well. Chad helped test a few as well, thank you very much!

Work will now begin on a add-on to this mod called Western Desert, already started on the graphics, so the team will be making scenario's for this next, as soon as I add the few country's not available yet!

Any questions please feel free to email me, if you would like to help on Western Desert and have time, please don't volunteer then not help, please contact us, we could use some guys making scenario's that have done so before!

Here is the link, enjoy!

EDIT: This link now has some desert in it, with (WD)in front of the scenario's. To play them, activate JSGME and enable Desert Battles, then play!

You can find what all available uniforms are there in the notes folder, under the txt file Alternate unit types.

Hi Mike, thanks for keeping up with the updates and the mod looks awesome. I have a question, which I think you answered before but cannot remember now: can your mod be ported to a game like Red Victory, which seems to be the closest to AotR? Is there any hard-coded limitation preventing this?
