ownloaded this one a while back, used go-zilla and took a week, off and on, on a 56K modem!Well worth the trouble!
You get all the basics of SP1, with paratroops and air transport, similar to SP2, you get much bigger maps, loads more units, and a really long campaign!
You can buy far more units with your points, and the armour values etc. are much better thought out. phew!
Also, artillery is more effective, and counter battery fire works too. Reinforcements can be set to occur in scenario's and there are more terrain choices too! Visibility is taken into account, and you can fight night battles. The map looks the same, but visibilty is greatly reduced.
Oh yeah, best bit....IT'S FREE
I loved SP1, played the SP2 demo, but got put off by the small map....M1A1's can kill anything on map, their effective range was bigger than the map! SP3...nah...hated that small look!
SPWAW is excellent!
Played a campaign as Germans, and against early war Russians, got hit with a heavy assault. Fortunately, I had invested in some 88's.....Killed 32 tanks in one round, 15 next...and they were still coming...10 next....oh yes, you can fight some big battles!
need to upgrade to V4.4 which looks like meaning another very long download...but I'll do it!
