Welcome aboard, spmlawyer. What aspect of law do you specialize in? In real life, I'm a tax auditor, and I work for the West Virginia State Tax Dept.

LOL--don't worry, Chief--I'm not a tax collector--my job is to correct screw-ups on people's tax returns. It's simply amazing how many people can't remember their own social security numbers-- this causes a series of headaches, but that's only a small part of the thousands of returns I have to correct each and every year.

Don't trust a paid preparer--they are just as prone to make mistakes--I know this for a fact. You're better off to do it yourself-- if you have questions on your federal or state returns, just call the support lines. In West Virginia, we have dedicated phone lines for Taxpayer Service.

Now, dammit, Chief, you got me talking about work. [:-]

Yeah, that's what we'd expect you to say! Quick, Ma, get the shotgun! [:D]

I practice entertainment law and intellectual property - like copyright, trademark and WARGAMES!! I always wanted a game company client but, alas, none yet.

[KandaJE]

Greetings...

Yah!! I finally got v8.4 up and running! Wheee!!! Looks good! A bit more "brown" but still...

<pant pant>

I've been suffering for years with 6.x never being able to get any greater version to actual work. Last time I tried anything above, either it would crash instantly or give me no sound.

<shuffling around looking for a list of changes...>

Anyway - I'm not really new - I've been playing SP in one form or another since it first came out- I think I have just about every version by anyone who ever made a version... WaW being the single best version I've seen.

So I guess I'll have to figure out how to update my Spring Awaking campaign to this version.

I like playing Germans [:D]...

Hi,

I'm a first time poster in this forum. I spend all of my time at WiTP forum. I have played versions of this game way back to the original commercial product, many years ago.

I was just wondering how to do an online game with someone. What site would I start at to connect to other gamers?

Welcome Larry!

First off - open port 7002 on your router and make sure your firewall allows Mech.exe as an exemption.

As I don't think there is a dedicated site anymore - go to the "Opponents Wanted" section of the forum to post a challenge/find opponents.

[MemoryLeak]

Thank you KNomad. I appreciate the welcome and the information. I'll give it a try.

Hi, I'm new here, just introducing myself. Or if you're Goblin; reporting for duty.[:)]

I live in Shropshire in the UK, with my wife and three children.
Been playing Steel Panthers (from II to WAW) for seven years now I think, perhaps less. Maybe it just feels that long. It was the first PC game I bought when I finally got myself into how to use a computer, and it's the game that still gets played most often.
I used to wargame with miniatures; I still have a large box of 1:300 scale WWII tanks and troops in the attic. Haven't the heart to get rid of them, but SPWAW just does it all now, and I don't need to paint anything either!

Got version 8.4 now. Just recently been playing online and PBEM for the first time - should have got into it much sooner. Seems to be a lot of experience here on this forum. I hope to tap into it, and maybe get to play more online games.

Rob.

Excuse the flag. I'm not sticking my nationality up anyone's nose, just playing with this 'avatars' business - it's taken me ages to find out what avatars even are.[8|][;)]

[Terminus]

Don't worry about the flag; there's too many different nationalities represented here for people to worry about that sort of thing. Welcome aboard!

Heaven forbid!

Why not sticking your nationality up anyone's nose? I do it all the time. And that British humour just rocks![:D]

Hi everybody.
My name is Félix del Pino (41), and I'm from Madrid - Spain.

I started to play wargames 22 years ago, when I discovered (and save enough money to buy it ) the old Avalon Hill board games. In that time I buyed some of them: Panzerleader, The Isaeli-Arab Wars ... but the problem was that I never found somebody with the same hobby as me ...

Thanks God, a few years later ( mid of 80') the PCs landed on our homes (In Spain too) and a new world of possibilities came: new PCs games for a single player.
I ever played tanks and planes simulators (do you remember "Team Yankee", "Steel Thunder", "F16 Fighting Falcon", "F-117" ... ?) until a couple years ago when I started to play "The Operational Art of War".
And after a whole year playing every night the TOAW ... I discovered the SPWaW !!!

And that's the reason because I'm right now joining this Forum.

Regards from Madrid.

I know the feeling. Boardgames were my hobby too, and I know how difficult it was to find good opponents. Well, thanks to my cousin - she was very patient with me.

Welcome to the forums, Felix!

I picked up SP about two years ago and have yet to set it down. No game on the market, free or commercial, gives you more bang for the buck than SPWAW. I've started playing around with TOAW recently as an alternative to larger, strategic or theatre-related battles to support some other games I am participating in online. Steel Panthers handles the tactical side of things better than any program I've used, but has limitations when larger numbers of forces are involved. Do you still play TOAW?

Again--welcome!

Hello all, I may or may not stay as I am having installation issues.
My name is Josh Anderson and I am a chess player and this is the first strategic wargame I have downloaded. I will be on from time to time and I hope to develop some stuff for this with the editor (if I get it working).
