    <p><a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Camo_Workshop/MBT/MBT_page.html" target="_blank" title="SPMBT">SPMBT</a>, the modern (i.e. post-WWII) version of Steel Panthers, just had a 27 Mb <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/News/pr_01.htm" target="_blank" title="press release">makeover</a>. Some of the <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/SPCamo/wSPMBT/6.htm" target="_blank" title="patch">3.0 patch</a> changes include:</p><blockquote><p>* NEW! 25 Additional scenarios! Remember, there is never such a thing as too many scenarios.</p><p>* UPDATED! 89 previously released scenarios have been tweaked and updated.</p><p>* ADDED! Six campaigns, previously available online, have been added.</p><p>* NEW and UPDATED! 29 brand new maps, one updated previously released map.</p><p>* UPDATED! 113 AI picklists have been updated, along with one leader name file, and six updated ranks files.</p><p>* NEW! 687 new photos!</p><p>* NEW and UPDATED! Over 400 icons, both new and revised!</p><p>* UPDATED! 92 updated OOB files, updated cost calculator, and updated MOBHack!</p></blockquote><p>OMG! On a related note, <a href="http://www.armchairgeneral.com/articles.php?p=3194&page=1&cat=59" target="_blank" title="ACG review">The Armchair General</a> reviewed another Steel Panthers title, <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/SPCamo/wSPWW2/1.htm" target="_blank" title="SPWW2">SPWW2</a>, scoring it 85%.</p><blockquote><p>The scenarios vary from small skirmishes to very long turn major battles. Specialized units, from Finnish skitroops to Wehrmacht combat engineers add their skills to the game, giving budding KampfGruppe commanders the chance to use a variety of tactics. Reinforcements can be scheduled in home-made scenarios and are part of many of the pre-loaded scenarios as well. Overall, it is a game that will be quickly learned and only grudgingly dropped. Personally, I expect to go back to this one time and time again, and it will live a long time on my harddrive. </p></blockquote>
