Is this game scale along the same lines as TANK by Norm Koger?

I really enjoyed that game. I even subscribed to the outfit that was doing scenarios for that game. I forget their name, but they were a lot of fun. Thanks for the info.

sabre1,
 
If you are refering to SSI's TANKS, then I would say pretty close. The new game engine is not far removed from the one in FPG in terms of scale. We have added in many editors (map, data, scenario) and also a campaign feature. Many of the sounds and graphics are also editable too. In that respect I would say we are pretty close to Tanks and then better. The plan is to add other hotspots and decades to the mix as we go along. Out of the gate we are starting in the Mid-East in the 50's thru 70's and also some where else (details still pending). The idea will be to cover everything at some point in time. I think between offical releases and a mod friendly game that will be possible down the road. We should be starting to post more information about the new games soon.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
