So basically I was the only one on the planet who had fun playing SP3. Interesting.

I did play it a little back in the 90s. It was interesting to play for larger campaigns but to be honest, it was stretching the game engine to the breaking point. Battles often just ended up being slaughterfests as firing exchanges of mass destruction as you watched tank units with big sets of numbers over them go from 12 down to 0 in a matter of seconds. Then there was the previous mentioned Firehose effect on soft targets with any weapon handy. The humanity!

Had some fun with large scale Arab-Israel engagements for a brief period but that was about it.

I played it. It was one of the greatest wargames I ever played. I thought it was great because operations played at the platoon/company level are more realistic than operations played at the tactical level. It would take you for ever to play some of the more famous campaigns in history at the tactical level, moving every tank and squad that took part in it would take way to long.
