I'm gonna guess there are more like 10 or even 20,000 players. Some time ago,somebody did some serious research and came up with an educated guess that maybe only 10 or 20% of the players EVER posted on the forum, (which is only an indirect product of the game itself.) Since the game can live on a computer in a dorm room or military rec room, with the ability to "save" many games at once, I suspect the number is still pretty high. While I was overseas, playing "Combat" (of the first kind), we still managed to return to our hooches and play AH's Panzer Blitz, and later Panzer Battles.. Stuff like that never gets counted in forum polls............ The U.S.Army is very aware of the popularity of wargames (within the military), and provides access to them, (to the extent they even funded their own computer wargames and simulators for the edification of their current warriors. Proof of this is the number of active duty people we currently have here on these forums............... I STILL feel Matrixgames made an error when they decided years ago to not support/fund a modern era update to the SP platform...........[8D]
