SPWW2 is named Steel Panthers: World War 2. By your logic people would be buying that game expecting politics and economics but strangely enough both games are subtitled "Combined Arms Tactical Combat" It doesn't say anything about "armoured combat" does it? Now.. if we had subtiled them " Games of armoured combat" you might have a point but we've been telling people since we first started modding the games in 1998 that Combined Arms was going to be our focus

What does the first line of the first paragrah of the Game guide say ""

What is WinSPMBT?

WinSPMBT ( Windows, Steel Panthers, Main Battle Tank ) is a Post World War II combined arms tactical level wargame derived from SSI's Steel Panthers: Modern Battles ( SP2 ) code.

It doesn't say anything about "armoured combat" does it?

We have told people for years these are no longer " tanky " games and the whole point of a "relatively" cheap man portable ATGM is that it CAN chew through the armour of a "relatively" expensive armoured vehicle and they hand them out like that to the infantry so those bright shiny tanks don't run roughshod over them and if you, as the attacker come charging over a hill without a "Combined Arms " force then they will quite happily kill your bright shiny tanks but had you lead with infantry or armoured infantry you would have found those AT teams and dealt with them the way they are supposed to be dealt with BEFORE your tanks were exposed to the danger.
