Men
Its get getting close to Launch Time. We are working on setting up as many download sites as possible. We are still unsure how big the download will be but I am sure you will find this the most incredible Steel Panthers ever! We have put a lot of new and revolutionary features in this game. We are going to try to release the manual a little bit early so give everyone a chance to read the new features and changes. Trust us make sure to read the manual. Brent Richards has spent a lot of time adding and clearing up our SPWaW manual and is well worth the reading.
Programming and beta testing is over and the production line is fired up and getting ready. Buy your wife, girlfriend and or kids something nice before you start getting involed because once you start it may be a while before they see you again.

A Great big THANK YOU to all and sundry involved in getting Version 4 out. Will David unshackle you from your computers and stop the caffeine drips?

What can I say other than Thank you very, very much Matrix! Your devoting to wargaming and to your players through these boards have earned my devotion to your company. I look forward to purchasing games from your company for many years to come. Thanks again!

Really has been a wild ride, but would not trade the experience or this terrific product that we have helped bring to you for anything. Okay...except maybe...COFFEE!!
MUST...HAVE...COFFEE...MUST...HAVE...COFFEE.
Enjoy!!

On the download page you Matrix guys mentioned not to check back every five minutes. I haven't been this eager for something since my unit was coming home from Bosnia after a long, long tour there. Your killing me Matrix. Just kidding. I really, really can't wait for this though. Thanks!

I'm sorry I love SpWAW but if I was going on vacation for three weeks in Denmark I would be willing to make the sacrifice!!!!! You'll have something to look forward to when you get back.
I just wanted to echo the sentiments already expressed........Thanks guys , for a job well done.
now, as someone said earlier.....

Magyar,
Are you coming up for air too?
I ran out of coffee days ago. Now I can actually play some more. Oh, No, I have to finish the Berlin map so everyone can see the work we did so far and above the call of duty

Gentlemen!
I've come out from my private tombs to say a word. I hear the bolts working on sniper rifles so I won't stay long
.
Look for maps, over 70 new maps, many of them historical, others, genetic for use with your battle generator. I won't say any more about that!
Look for scenarios, many scenarios, some that you already have are updated for version 4.0. Grenadier and others (including myself) have checked scenarios for problems and fixed them to make them compatible with 4.0, including some of your all time favorites.
You'll find special scenarios set up for multi-player TCP-IP battles. Now four people can be involved in the battle online. These are ready to go.
A beautifully done manual and FAQ section. You can't imagine how many hours Brent Richards has put into this. You really do need to read this to see all that is now in the game. To not do so would be a big mistake.
New scenarios? Yeah, we got 'em, including the Colonel Trotter special included in PC Gamer article for October, a real Momo scenario on Omaha Beach, map done by good old Drake, scenario done by yours truly. I spent nearly 50 hours on this one alone and if you want to have the feel of Omaha, the Bloody one with the best map to date of Omaha Beach, play this one. Great job on the map, Drake! And Drake and I plan to work together to get the other four beaches done for a complete D-Day series of battles.
Campaigns? Two are included. One, West Front, one, East Front. They are the new branching type campaigns, with as few as five battles or as many as 13 depending on how well you fight. Two more are being worked on right now.
And that is on my end. Now the work of the rest of the crew has been on the same level of intensity.
There are many "new" things in SPWAW version 4.0.
You know, after over five years of working with SP, since being on the team for the first game and each team since, and having designed hundreds (about 800) scenarios and campaigns for five versions of SP, I am of the opinion that SPWAW is the game I have always longed for the SP game to be.
Okay, now I'm headed for cover (those snipers are checking windage and elevation) and to finish some final touches for your gaming pleasure.
