Steel Panthers' 10th Anniversary

I was on the beta team for the first Steel Panthers and I remember my awe when I received it.

Wow!

10 Years. Man, how the game and its derivatives have affected my life. She's a grand old lady, still alive and well and has produced some magnificent offspring!

I still remember when i first heard of Steel Panthers, it was about 8 or 9 years ago, i tried it and i found it unplayable and boring.

Luckily i give it another try almost 7 years later

I played it from begining, hard to believe it is 10 years!

Yes, I was in from the beginning with SP1 the day it came out...the graphics were (then) impressive....Hard to believe now!!

I was so dissappointed when I upgraded ny computer and couldnt get any versions to run except SP3..I was distraught when a second upgrade stopped even that working.

and now at last SP2 for windows......bliss!!

wow 10 years

I have been playing it the whole time. I downloaded the demo or maybe it was on another CD...I played the Russia vs Ukraine scenario for weeks then bought the game and have played it ever since.... My friend says I'm an addict.

Yep, I've been playing it forever too under various guises.

I kind of miss the scale of SP3 from time to time though. Norm Koger's TANKS! had the same platoon scale and that one no longer works on any of my computers either.

Does anyone know if there ever any plans to revisit the SP3 scale with the SP series?

Thanks!

I have a feeling that I have read somewhere that the quick answer is "No". I think Matrix have the rights to sp3 (which, I believe is what SPWAW is based on, someone will correct me if I am wrong)

I would love to be wrong because that was one of my faves from the series.
