Yep, Steel Panther World at War is to my opinion the best tactical wargame you can get.

AND IT IS FREE !!

What you must pay are the Mega Campigns, some dynamics add on campaigns retracing 6 to 10 months of a particular phase of the war. At the moment, there are 3 mega campaigns, one as germany in north africa, another with germany in 41 on the eastern front, and the Last one with US troops in guadalcanal. So far, north africa was a bLast of mobile warfare, eastern front was a bloody and harsh struggle and I am still in close combat in guadalcanal with US troops fightings japonese, climat and diseases. I bought all these more than 1 year ago.

Speak about longevity. Matrix is another company doing some great job.

You'll also find good forums with plenty of map/scenarios designers, willing to help and nice to newbie.

The only thing that may be a problem for Matrix is their Art Of Wargaming forum, which is a free for all place where extreme opinions are very frequent. I fear this particular forum could be a nuisance to Matrix's reputation. But I maybe wrong, and that does not change the fact that Matrix game does some great games I love to play as much as SE4.

Let's just say it is a very good thing that widely different opinions has been expressed in SE4 forum without harsh or hate words.
