Status: offline 		When I opened Steam today, I found this sort of hidden on my Home Page which generally draws Turn Based Military/Strategy games.., etc.., Hex of Steel popped up. I have to leave for the evening, but for the past 20 minutes I watched some youtubes and was reading the manual.., jeezus, how did this get under my radar? Looks like it went under a lot of people's radar because there is not a lot of info on it.

If anyone knows anything about it, love to see it. I will be studying this over the next couple of days. The developer is one young guy.., could it be another Vic (God of Wargaming)? I doubt it, guys like Vic only appear once every ten years.., but yeah, who knows.

Lastly, the have a Free Demo on Steam.., I might try that out. Hopefully some of you try it also and provide some feedback. Thanks.

Curiously, ATG is now 10 years old...

I was able to download the manual from the Hex of Steel Steam page (here is the link to the .pdf manual). It is a slow download and if you have a slow internet connection, it will take several minutes. So don't give up too quickly.

Hope that helps.

Val is an amazing dev! I couldn't believe it when I read this in Steam today. Going to give it a try now...

Status: offline 		I'm playing Hex of Steel now and can't get enough of it. It's also highly modable. I own Order of Battle WW2 and, of course, plaued Panzer General back in the day. This game is better than either of those.
It's also similar to Warplan, another game I own. Warplan though is like just one single scenario in Hex of Steel. I can highly recommend Hex of Steel to anyone who likes this type of game (which is probably everybody on a Matrix forum).
