This is really cool - first time I've ever seen SP4 mentioned in an official capacity. Thank you for sharing all this!

Curious though, if he didn't want to continue making sequels to SP, why did he sign on again in 2014 or whenever it was? Maybe he lost interest again?

I wonder if Grigsby will be retired before ST ever happens. IIRC they were supposed to resume it after WiTE2, but that's been out for five years. 2by3's website hasn't been updated in 12 years.

I'm not much older than you, been playing SP since I was 14. I'm afraid we'll be old men before we see it!

KG Erwin passed away a few years back. Bob Toncray also passed last month, I think.

I wish JustAToy were still around.

Huffy doesn't seem to have been on for at least ten years.

I don't know if he was ever here at Matrix but Leondus, of the old Steel Panthers Vietnam days, is still around on ...

Looks like this thread is going the way of ST.. talk of sports, movies, tornadoes, hogs, and nothing of substance. I guess that's confirmation enough.

I have precisely zero interest in sports, so is that akin to saying that pigs will fly first?

Might this be the year?

I still play the hell out of the old Civil War Generals 2 by Sierra.

There's a Civil War mod I made for WinSPWW2.

Yours truly as a 22-year-old infantryman in Baghdad in about January of 2006. I was much too young to have been entrusted with that much firepower SP:WaW and the WinSP series really helped me along during that deployment.

I'll bite on your suspicious demographics survey..

I had just started high school when Matrix released SP:WaW.

Now I fear I'll die of old age before Steel Tigers or any new iteration of SP from Matrix or Slitherine happens.

I would happily pay three times that amount for a revamped Steel Panthers.

Same for Steel Panthers but, if Steel Tigers is coming, I am sure you will have upgraded top AAA graphics for only the invasion of Poland. And then, a DLC, another one, another one to introduce few more units for few more campaigns.


I wouldn't mind that, because after all it would be Steel ...

I still play and enjoy a lot of computer games like War Thunder, but turn based wargames have fallen out of favor. Which is a shame because they traditionally were; next to Rogue-likes, my favorite genre. Panzer General 1 and 2, the Campaign Series, Steel Panthers, the original Combat Mission ...

Haven't played Steel Panthers in several years now because it's just... too old.

Old but still awesome :)

I was so excited that work had been started on Steel Tigers and so disappointed to hear it has stopped.

We don't know if it stopped. We just don't know what happened with it at all ...

Sad that the concept introduced by the original Steel Panthers and culminating in SPWAW, SPWW2 and SPMBT has sort of stalled.

I still have high hopes that fine turn-based low-level tactical game for WW2 and beyond is on the way. I hope it gets here before I go, or my fingers get so stiff I can't ...

Matrix announced a successor, Steel Tigers, back in 2015 and they have precisely nothing to show for it.

It at least got the hex base down, sort of..

I replied asking if there was a Temu Steel Tigers but removed it
