Get Ready...Get Set...

It's so close you can feel it. I can hear the guns in the distance. There is General Rommel, perched atop his Mammoth, right on the battlefield surveying the exploits of his panzers!

El Agheila, Mersa El Braga, Agedabia, Derna, Mechili, Halfaya Pass, Sollum, Bardia, Sidi Barrani, Sidi Rezegh, Mersa Matruh, and other locales.

We'll be in the African blitzkrieg from the western border of Libya to the portals of Egypt.

We'll storm Tobruk once and again.

And the missions, so many missions. Not every one is a set piece battle. You'll go on recon, rescue prisoners, raid supply depots, attack convoys, steal secret documents under the nose of the British, steal tanks, and a myriad of other adventures. An amphibious operation on your part or that of the British is possible. A RN destroyer could be your worst enemy!

From small level actions to mammoth battles you'll be in the thick of it.

You'll find Rommel paying you unexpected visits on the battlefront to inspect your actions. Watch the skies for that tiny Storch or the horizon for his lumbering Mammoth.

What else can I say? Be sure and wear those desert goggles the general gave you. That was his only extra pair.

The ships are leaving the harbor. We are bound for North Africa and glory!

Colonel Von Wilder,

Groupe Dietsl, 5th Leicht Division, DAK, North Africa

Sounds great, Wild Bill. :cool:

Will it be as much fun for those freaks like me who would like to enjoy it from the British perspective? :(

Jawohl, Mein Colonel!
The Panzers are fueled and loaded, toolboxes checked, and the crews are standing by.

For The Fatherland!

Uhh....sir? Can you do anything about the rations? The soles of my jackboots would taste better.....

Herr Colonel,

I can't find anything. Any hints?

The recon patrols have just informed me that there are large quantities of dust in Sector B. We have no units in that sector so I have ordered the heavy guns to fix on that position. If it is Monty's panzers they will be sitting ducks.

Thanks WB: Go ahead pour more fish guts in the water and create a frenzy while we're out here treading water.

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Why don't you build the tension some more Wild Bill. :)

But getting it right is MORE important so i will keep waiting (impatiently) but I will wait.

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

I would not tease you so unmercifully if it were not for the fact that you'll be able to get this fine product so very soon.

David Heath, our "Matrix Big Brother" watches me like a hawk. He knows I'm prone to spill the beans so both of his German Shepherds (you knew they would be German Shepherds) sit on either side of my chair gazing at the screen as I write.

Oops, one began snarling when I just wrote that.

Quiet Schnaps! Down boy! Back! Back!....Quick! How do you say "Chill out in German?"... :eek:

We are just waiting breathlessly, and turning a slight shade of blue. The Wife and kids are gone this week so could it be possible that I might get in some games, before they get back and then I will have to curtail my time with my beloved panzers? ( I can just hear the "Honey why don't you spend more time with me") There just isn't enough time in the day to work, spend time with the family and play Steel Panthers!

Rhuin :(

Am waiting anticipating this next instalment and the mega campaign. I've just put two wrapes and a hooyey on my bitter half (just kidding) to keep her calm. I hope that perhapes a truckload of cerveza might come with this desert campaign. Anyway, go Matrix, you got my vote .

Boiling over with excitement here! :eek:

However, my question about the British perspective was not rethorical.

Any goodies for us Brit lovers, raised on British war comics? Or should we be resigned to play the part of the doormat to Rommel's Panzers? :rolleyes:

Do we also get special missions, perhaps Commando raids or LRDG escapades?

Please, give us some hope, after all the British did win North Africa, in the end! ;)
