The download is here: Extension for UAW160Simple
As the download file is small (only 212 megabytes) the downloaded "UAW160SimpleMP_Install.exe" is not a patch. It creates a separate stand-alone folder named "UAW160SimpleMP".


What has been added is for use by the host at GameRanger.
The players do not need it- they can use their "UAW160Simple" folder. However, they can still install it and use it for normal play.
The point of the exercise is that there have been several downloads of "UAW160Simple", and some users might want to try multiplayer at GameRanger.
This weekend I will try to host games there, pointing my GameRanger eaw.exe to the one in my "UAW160SimpleMP". folder.
What has been added can be seen here:

Unlike single missions there is no map screen for the selection of target and bases for a multiplayer game.
So I wrote an external utility "MissionMaker.exe" that allows the user to set up the mission, with the targets and bases being selected from a map.
The script can be saved in the "MPData160" folder.
The host can load an existing script using the "2021ScriptLoader.exe".
The host's settings are automatically passed on to the other players, so they do not need these utilities wink

Weird, the first time I opened this post all of the text was run together with no spaces between words.

It has now resolved.

Never seen anything like that before.

My de-briefing screen

We had two good games and I can report that the "UAW160SimpleMP" folder worked well at GameRanger.

For the second mission which was a sweep we flew from Vitry. The German bases were the two on the other side of the front-line North of Vitry:
