https://www.mediafire.com/?63cls8j2ec5q62wUpdated Nov 2015 - To remove flickering shadows.
Added new skins by vpmedia
There are still a number of bugs in this old model so I may upload another update in the future.
========================================
Pack has been tested with SAS ModActivator 2.5beta
Do not overwrite the class files if HMS Warspite has been installed first.
Extract to a temporary folder and follow the instructions included alongside the ShipAshe folder.
(I have noticed that an old set of the instructions was include in the ShipAshe folder. Do not use the old version. -- This has now been corrected.)
ShipPack2 is not needed but does not conflict if installed.
If HMS Matabele has previously been installed it will be over written.
Ensure that there are not duplicate entries for HMS Matabele in the ini and properties files.
