Nope, because the scale never appealed, and SP3 was a flawed product. (I got bored of killing M1 tanks with 81mm mortar strikes, as any track hit was a "kill" ). And the black dialogue box that insisted on popping up smack in the middle of the screen was another annoyance.

I used to miss SP3, until SPMBT came out...although I do sometimes miss the online battles.
And Andy's KOBS...LOL

WoW! This game has brought fun to easily hundreds if not thousands of us. This game has to be considered as a classic in military gaming circles! I still have the original game as well as the scenario disks (and their boxes). Happy Anniversary to all those who have brought us this tremendous game and who keep it going! And with the constant research and timeless effort, special praise must be given to Wild Bill who has been a constant force in this game and its many variations. Thanks all!

I was there from the begining too. I used to play on my dad's computer and I even made a few scenarios with his help (I was about 8-9 in those days). The graphics were really good and i remember that as I got older I still played SP in its different guises as SPWAW and briefly as the old version of SPWW2. SPMBT and SPWAW are by far my favourite incarnations of the game and even now compared to all the other war games out there this top down HUGO game still beats all in terms of detail and playability. Mods like Blitzkrieg I and II and the various mods for Battlefield 42 and Vietnam always left something to be desired and even when I made personal tweaks to games like RON T&P to make the game more playable and realistic SP and its offspring still were better.

I therefore salute SP and all the other SP related games! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Germany.gif[/img]

I would like to see a combination game which would combine the brigade level of combat (including multi brigade) using the common military unit icons with Steel Panther level of combat! The player would conduct brigade level of combat on one screen, and then when the brigades became engaged you could switch to a Steel Panthers level game, using individual units.
