Status: offline 		Hi Big. What happened I think was shell shock not only is Steel Panthers free but you can also get Pac War (soon) War in Russia (now) and they have a few more really great things coming (War in the Pacific) and keep it to yourself but they have started giving money away too (see contest and Combat Command) Once the medics or Corpsmen in white suits get here they will have to run the site from a psych ward so get everything fast. edit: I didn't mention "Wars of Napolean" this place (like most aslyums) has a lot of Napoleans running loose. ------------------ I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a differant direction!

Status: offline 		IIRC, the whole "Steel Panthers" name, game, concept, is copyright SSI/Mattel. The deal cut by Matrix with Mattel to allow the resucutation of this fine game hinged on an agreement that Matrix not charge for the game. Thus the (now) thousands of manhours of work done since vesion 1 made them a LOT of fans, but $$? Nada! Bumpkiss! Sqat! A note to all forum members: Please bear that in mind when thinking about asking for new features & "wouldn't it be cool if..." The Matrix Team (especially David) WANT to please everybody. Really! But SPWaW can never make them a dime Perhaps we should accept the features of V4 as they are. These great "cool" ideas should not be wasted though rather, let's look for these ideas to appear in a future (commercial) game. Perhaps Matrix can do a WWI game, or a game we can codename Steel Panthers 4, a good strategic fleet game, maybe something like "Harpoon" or "Tanks". Whatever. Squash the real bugs in SPWaW 4, but call it done for the features. We've all seen how Matrix responds to gamer input when working for free. Let's see how they do when we're paying them bonzo ------------------ Robert (Bonzo) Lindsay, Coordinator 28th (North-west) Battalion Headquarters http://dreadnaught.home.icq.com [email]nwbattalion@icqmail.com[/email]

Mike Wood lives in Siliocon Valley counting his stock options as former lead programmer at Oracle. Nick Papp is a world famous artist using an assumed name. I won the California lottery 5 yrears ago and live on the beach. I am right now watching the sunset off Catalina Island and sipping a margarita while I type this on my laptop. Any more questions? a contented Grenadier
