SS_PanzerLeader Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 Hey VS Yes steel panthers is hexbased they can be toggled off tho I do believe The first one is an excellent game for its time and I played it alot - but didnt cre for the later editions. SPWOW looks alot more along the lines of the first one with a major overhaul I will download it and check it out BTW its probably similar in scale to Close COMBAT maybe a bit larger ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader.......out [This message has been edited by SS_PanzerLeader (edited 04-23-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted April 24, 2000 Author Share Posted April 24, 2000 Thanks SS Im looking for a site that explains the basics.

fiftymicrolitres Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 Steel Panthers: Word At War -turn based -squad level/individual vehicle/gun -approx. 10 minutes per turn -50 m per hex -1930-1949 -most if not all of the major nations in WW2(Germany, Russia, Britan, Japan, US), plus minor powers -Win32 based executable -Igo Ugo system -pbem'able -2 player internetable The program is free and will be available as a download and on several gaming mag demo CD's. It will NOT require ownership of any other Steel Panthers game to play. The caveat is the HUGE size of the download. I'm guessing at least 300 Mb 5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEF BUNGIS Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 Hey VON shrad. I have SP III Brigade command. I will send it to you, just give me your shipping address. I can't get the game to work with my system. If you like it, keep it. If you would like to trade for one of your war games, then just send it to me after you get my SPIII CD. See my profile for e-mail if your interested. ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted April 24, 2000 Author Share Posted April 24, 2000 DEF, Thanks, I might just take you up on that...the only problem is I only have a couple of wargames(my first comp.).... They are CC2, CC3, and axis and allies.. other games are falcon 4.0, Shadow company, Kingpin(a nasty quake style shooter with enough foul language to keep any sailor happy), Fighting Steel. Any that you might be intrested in? All my wargames are all boardgames. Cant let them go. I need to keep those so my grandchildren can have something to laugh at me for ever owning( wich is a long ways away) heck, I have most of my boardgames duplicated and still in wrappers! My wife just loves looking at a bookcase full of un-opened games aka, money.

DEF BUNGIS Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 You can send me anything you want. I guess any game that works with my system is better than SPIII that doesnt work on my system. ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von shrad Posted April 24, 2000 Author Share Posted April 24, 2000 take your pick. Ill send any of them. unless you really dont have a preferance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEF BUNGIS Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 Hmmm. Lets shoot for axis and allies. Sound cool. I dont think SPIII is comparible to the likes of CC2 or CC3. Although more detailed, SP III is not nearly as fancy or flashy. Send me an E-MAIL with your ship address bro. ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 Actually, I like SP2. Provides a nice change of pace from CC2 or TacOps. It is an IGOUGO system, and yes, it is hex-based, but the hexes do work out well in the game. SP1 and 2 have one tank or squad per hex, SP3 has a platoon per hex. Being a modern nut, I have SP2. (I also love those mid '80s scenarios, Cheiftans vs T-80... '120mm Sabot vs T80 front.. Clang!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted April 24, 2000 Share Posted April 24, 2000 Will SP be released for the Macintosh? I have a 6500/225. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
