I found the original SP by accident on the back of another game disk (Great Naval battles4?) a number of years ago and was hooked thereafter. I ended up buying SP2, the expansion, and SP3. When I upgraded to a new computer I suddenly found that I could no longer play, super-fast mouse scrolling and no windows support caused gameplay to be a headache. I finally gave up. Just this week I happened to find a link to Steel Panthers WaW, I didn't know what it was but the name sounded familiar. Needless to say I was very impressed with all the changes and upgrades!I actually downloaded the thing over the course of a few days with my 56k at 2kb/sec..It was definately worth it to try an old favorite in some new duds.

I am curious about how Matrix got the rights to supe-up and then release SP. Are you a breakaway group from SSI ? Forgive me if this was in the doc's somewhere but Iv'e been eager to get in some playing time again. What are the plans for WaW, anymore patches/upgrades ? I know I'll be looking for Modern Warfare whenever that's completed also. Great fun.

Glad to have you here Maelstrom. David Heath, president of Matrix Games presented to SSI our plans to make a new and better SP. They agreed to allow us to do that after seeing what we wanted to do and could do. The only stipulation was that it would not be sellable. We agreed. Thus we went on this adventure of thousands of man hours to enhance both our and your gaming experience.
