Really enjoyed this one Jason.

Has anyone ever got to the bottom of the lack of SP4/Steel Tigers?

It seems like such an obvious open goal that would get so many of us back together...

Absolutely. We live in eternal hope.

Thanks both. Really useful.

Am I right in saying that suppression is effectively modelled by making an enemy "use up" opportunity fire with fire from some units, then closing with others?

I remember after we were done working on SPWAW late 90's, David Heath was still the owner, we started on an early version of Steel Tigers, I was doing data entry for the units, had an early version of the editor for a long time, so it's been awhile!!


I didn't know you were involved in SPWAW ...

I have just tried the SPWaW enhanced version after previously playing just SPWW2. I have to say that I prefer it.

I gave it a go after watching Erik's Twitch stream. He seems to have a real passion for SP which makes me think maybe the sequel will come out...

Cheers Erik.

In other words, what is your vocation? Are you former military? What brought you to gaming?

I work for a defense contractor that manufactures electronics and avionics. I’ve worked on everything from missile guidance systems to USArmy ground based tactical laser guidance, GPS systems, and avionics ...

Ignore me - I pressed "U" and all was OK with the world

Sorry Jason I wasn't clear.

The screenshot isn't mine.

I'm trying to find out how to display the box on the right!

I have been watching some videos where someone is able to show terrain details on the right.

I might be completely stupid to have missed this - is it a mod or an option I'm not using?



Cheers

The game does look fascinating, but in a way that it looks like a second job to learn.

Judging by the name, I assume armour will be the focus, but is there any reasonable infantry only scenarios and how are infantry tactics modelled?

Cheers

Any chance of hiding that big announcements block that takes up half the screen real estate in every forum? Or at least keep it to the main page?


Yeah, That is a problem. Removing it could bring more posts to the front page. A real QOL improvement....GP



I third this. The announcements ...

******* Great

Had the CD set, back when discs were cool. Liked the work. Too bad Burns is nothing but a _____ ___ in real life. Tossed the collection same time as purging Bruce Springsteen discs.


What did he do? The only controversial thing i can find is the quilt collecting thing, which is weird, but no ...

It is amazing to me that one of the most popular war games in the history of computer wargaming is not being updates with an apparent sense of urgency.

There is no doubt that this game has an extensive following.

The lack of a focused effort to develop a clear source of revenue is simply ...

We are genuinely sorry that development has stalled on Steel Tigers. As was said it was put on hold, and we have no yet restarted active development on it. We will keep you informed of progress when it restarts. It is definitely something we have a lot of enthusiasm for, but it does need us to ...

Has anyone heard anything about the development process of ST?

Is thing game even coming out? I know the developers mentioned they wanted to get WitE2 all worked out, but wasn't that a while ago?

Can they either come out and say "yes, the game is still alive" or "no, it's dead"?


I hope we get ...

How do the Squad Battles games compare to Steel Panthers?
