Steel Panthers I PIBWL
1.5
Updated! Improvement Pack
2 improved pictures - 12. 07. 2003
Do you still remember the good old first Steel Panthers ?...
We can proudly present our improvement pack
for the Mother of all SP-family games
- now the newest 1.5 release (01. 01. 2003)
However the original SSI "Steel Panthers-I" is a magnificent game, but it contains many - smaller or bigger - mistakes and errors concerning both the units and formations, especially as for smaller countries. That's why since 1998 we have been developing this improvement pack.
We have improved a historic accuracy, correcting the data of all existing units.
We have also added over 250 new units to different countries.
About half of them are completely new - most with new pictures!
We have corrected most of the countries, no matter how big they are
- so that the gamers from so-called "minor countries" should be satisfied as well.
We've tried to delete the wrong units only, and we haven't removed any country.
With our pack you can play almost every scenario from the original game!
(the details are in attached text file).
If you have any comments or additional information - share with us!
See the illustrated list of new units in PIBWL 1.5 pack
You can read a documentation here
(it is also included in zip file below).
Now we present 1.5 release
Our thanks to Dan Morris for a help in the latest release!

In case you noticed any bugs, let us know.
To install our pack, you must follow these three simple steps:
...I'm sure you know what to do with it, but just in case you don't:.. :-)
1. CLICK HERE or go to our mirror to get new DATA FILES and documentation.
( - the mirror page may be faster from outside the Europe. Please, feel free to comment the transfer speed to me!)
Then you should unzip it and copy 5 files: obbr, obja, obma, obpz and obus into your "Steel Panthers" main folder (or just unzip all into main folder).
Warning! These files will OVERWRITE the existing ones, so you can make a backup.
2. ...then click HERE or go to our mirror to get NEW PICTURES (and here for 2 newest ones).
Unzip them into your Steel Panthers "PIC" sub-folder (if you haven't such folder - you should create it).
Most of our pictures are COLOR since 1.4 release (some are still black and white, but we'll be trying to replace them). These should not overwrite any of the original pictures, but they will overwrite our earlier and worse new pictures and they might overwrite pictures from other private sources (it's recommended to manage pictures using a browser, e.g "ACDSee").
3. ...Try our color improved pictures then!
The improved pictures can be installed even if you decide not to install the rest of our pack.
They fit well to either standard or modified SP-I, or to Steel Panthers-III, or even (after some name changes) to SPWW2.
