We cried for days. Our sequel to Steel Panthers was not to be. Then we got over it and started griping about something else that hasn't been released since forever...Empire in Arms. :)

It had pretty darn good graphics.

Status: offline 		lol like what SoM? They are as different as night and day in gameplay and longevity. CC is real time (yawn) Combat Leader woulda been turn based with lovely better graphics that you could SEE than what is in SPWAW today. Shrapnel though has made a NEW graphic design of this game calling it SPWAW for Windows. You can get a free version of it also, but, if you want the updated graphics you have to pay for it. Even though the free version isn't top notch in graphics I can still make out the infantry units better in it's free version than I can in the old one.

1. The "Cross of Iron" part of the name.

2. Nothing else.

RH, I know what each game is, I just thought some graphical elements got reused.

You might already know this, but a nice similar enough title soon to be released is:

The screenshots are quite nice!

Thank goodness the bright white hex outlines have been toned down , I hated them on the board game .

PS:I was criminal to cover up/detract from the art on those boards.

When the target is moving the fire is more accurate?????

Infantry cannot seek cover while moving, but don't move fast enough to affect accuracy - just a guess.

Wasn't it quietly bumped off when Panzer Command arrived on the scene?
