RE: Steel Panthers Successor

<t> Thanks for the replies guys. I am familiar with Battle Academy, I have a copy on the iPad. It's OK, but I do find the lack of depth and some of the convoluted game play frustrating (Not being able to have more then on unit in a square, or even have another pass though).<br/>

Steel Panthers Successor

<t> Hi guys<br/>
<br/>
I am finding that I am struggling more and more to get SP, in any version (Both Matrix and Camo) to run happily on my computer.<br/>
<br/>
I am no expert, but I am guessing that the game is just getting too old for newer PC's. It's a shame, because I have always loved that ...

iPad, and other tablets

<r> Hi guys<br/>
<br/>
I have just treated myself to an iPad2 (My 4 months ciggie free treat) and I must admit to being a tad disappointed at the quality of strategy games out for it. I've just got <B><s>[b]</s>Egypt Engineering an Empire. <e>[/b]</e></B> It's OK, a tad basic, but it is for the ...

RE: Thoughts after a long absence

<t> Thanks for the replies guys. I still have SP on my lap top, both the Matrix Version and Camo workshop's. But I do find both are more and more unplayable on my main PC (Strange graphics glitches, failing to recognize mouse clicks and the like)<br/>

I do find it a bit odd that this seems ...

Thoughts after a long absence

<t> Hi Guys,<br/>
<br/>
According to the stats here it's over two years since I last posted anything.<br/>
<br/>
I can believe that, what with real life getting in the way of my gaming and being involved with the Great Delve war (Eve On-line for those not familiar with the term) for three years ...

RE: Will There Ever Be Another SP Game???

<t> As much as I would love to see a 'son of SP' game I think the above post have hit the nail on the head that there probably is not a market for it. Mainstream developers are looking for cash cows and not dedicated games for a 'small' part of the gaming community.<br/>

RE: To New Forum Members: Check in Here

<t> Hi guys.<br/>
<br/>
Not so much a new player, but a looooong time absent returning player to SP. And yes, still finding it as enjoyable as ever. I've tried more 'up to date' game, such as the Combat Mission series. While I can't fault them, none have ever managed to grab me the way that SP has ...

In a window?

<t> Hi guys<br/>
<br/>
I've just returned to SP, just got the Generals edition.<br/>
<br/>
The problem I have is that I am playing it on a brand new uber computer with a 26 inch wide screen monitor ( I'm an MS Flightsim fan too). <br/>

Generally the game runs well, even under Vista. But ...

How would Britain vs Germany in April 40&nbsp;sound to you?<br/>
Say 2,000 for a meeting engagement on a large map?<br/>

If you are OK with the match, you get to pick which side you'd like to play. I'm happy with either side myself<br/>

<t> Both of these games are favorites from the past for me and I'm more then pleased to see them getting the Matrix makeover.<br/>

RE: Why did I do it?

OK, thanks for the heads up guys. But now it's time to prove just what a 'numpty' I am. What is the Enhanced Mod for SPWOW exactly.
I've had a quick look about and it seems to be about more realistic OB? Is that the case or is there more?

Thanks

Anyway, out of desperation I found myself trolling ...
