Lol Found the CD when we moved.

What a great game!

I have played it now for a few days, started a long campaign in Poland and just fought the battle of Kasserin pass, 19 decisive victories! My whole tank force is tigers.


To bad they stopped the line.

You guys have Steel panthers world at war right? Matrixgames spent more than two years making steel panthers one of the best tactical wargames there is after ssi (or whoever) abandoned the code.

If not, let me know, and Ill give you the adress, it is a free download.

I loved that game.

Got Close Combat Battle of the Bulge and it has the same flavor but in real time.

Real time makes it...tense.

If you loved Steel Panthers give Close Combat a shot.

I have this and love it. I played the Original Tabletop hex game with my brother when I was younger.  Also, played Squad Leader.

oh man..if you havent tried spwaw, you are going to LOVE this...

I'm in the middle of the "Lost victories" mega campaign...over 200 battles where you take your troops from June 22 1941 to the Soviet winter offensive in 42...You have to buy that one though, but it is well well worth it.

Or try the Stalingrad campaign with something like 40 battles.

If you want a game, let me know. But you should take a couple of days to get to know the game first, stuff like the command and control system can be hard to get into.

Spwaw is built on the SP3 engine, but it is with the SP scale (one vehicle, one squad, one gun). I've been playing spwaw for over two years, and Im still playing it.
