Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

I believe it is going to be on august 31 2005 (SS1)

Perhaps it is a perfect oportunity to relase the already announced (suited for the occassion) "fixed for good" win v. patch.

Actually it was for the cd v relase, but as Don said (wisely) on a previus post: "plans usually end up in disarray". For me that's a very fair statement.

However, how about this: "The 10th anniversary patch"(maybe, why not?)

I was on the beta team for the first Steel Panthers and I remember my awe when I received it.

Wow!

10 Years. Man, how the game and its derivatives have affected my life. She's a grand old lady, still alive and well and has produced some magnificent offspring!

I still remember when i first heard of Steel Panthers, it was about 8 or 9 years ago, i tried it and i found it unplayable and boring.

Luckily i give it another try almost 7 years later http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

I played it from begining, hard to believe it is 10 years!

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

Yes, I was in from the beginning with SP1 the day it came out...the graphics were (then) impressive....Hard to believe now!!

I was so dissappointed when I upgraded ny computer and couldnt get any versions to run except SP3..I was distraught when a second upgrade stopped even that working.

and now at last SP2 for windows......bliss!!

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

wow 10 years

I have been playing it the whole time. I downloaded the demo or maybe it was on another CD...I played the Russia vs Ukraine scenario for weeks then bought the game and have played it ever since.... My friend says I'm an addict.

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

Yep, I've been playing it forever too under various guises.

I kind of miss the scale of SP3 from time to time though. Norm Koger's TANKS! had the same platoon scale and that one no longer works on any of my computers either. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Does anyone know if there ever any plans to revisit the SP3 scale with the SP series?

Thanks!

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

I have a feeling that I have read somewhere that the quick answer is "No". I think Matrix have the rights to sp3 (which, I believe is what SPWAW is based on, someone will correct me if I am wrong)

I would love to be wrong because that was one of my faves from the series.

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

I would be very happy if the SP3 scale would be implemented in WinSPMBT.

Re: Steel Panthers\' 10th Anniversary
 

Matrix does not own the rights to sp3 as far as I know..
Matrix used the SP3 engine to create SPWAW, where as the camo group used the SP2 engine...
Since SSI is no more.. I have no clue who owns the rights to these 2 engines..
I beieve both entities have some rights to the engines but cannot sell them or some such thing.
