Just finished Wolf.

Over all the game was ok.

Good AI

Sounds fantastic.

I am now packing it up and adding it to the christmas presents I am giving to my nephew. (I already told him that I would give it to him when I was finished.)

Good game for an eight year old.

Mac I have all 4 Steel Panther games. I purchase the first 3 over the years. ( I think I have 2 copies of the first two games ) and the 4th game is free from Matrix. I am a collector of computer war games. I like the manuals and maps.

You should check it out. I highly recommend reading the manual. The game can be quite difficult. If you ever start playing it and enjoy it. Perhaps we can play a game or two.

I just downloaded Pacific war.

Tesco, Great, I always enjoy a good game, also I have the original PacWar by Grigsby with the old patch, haven't downloaded the newer Version from the site yet, I did enjoy it even tho the campaing could be long, one of the only complaints I had was the surface combat between warships, it didn't happen very often, I did have one where the battle Lasted over 15min of real time tho, what a battle. That and lack of combat in the China Theater, you could only go so far and then no farther. excellent game tho, one of the few out there on the Pacific Theater. Looking foreward to his new one coming out. The newer Version of PacWar is supposedly better then the old one,I always enjoyed PacWar, Have you played it before? good game, can be quite involved until you learn the ins and outs... good luck
I have been Wargame collector since 8th grade both board and computer, have quite a collection.

just some ideas mac

ps, I agree Vegard, never enough money or time for all the games...need to win a lottery
