You would have to contact Grigsby on that.

But I think the old boxed Avalon Hill game Panzerblitz was the main inspiration. But then, it provided inspiration for a lot of the hex-shuffling games hat came out of the US.

I come from a UK tabletop gaming background, WRG and TTG rules etc, so my reaction on seeing the original SP1 was "looks like 1/300 done on the computer".

Panzerblitz was more like SP3. SP1 and SP2 were more like Squad leader though not exactly equal comparison it is a bit closer to the mark

Squad Leader (ASL) and coffee, always brings a smile to my face...when I first saw SP1 I was like Oh my gosh...ASL in computer format...

The 20 years have been a blessing, always have an opponent with SPWW2/MBT and it's just Awesome!

I am a bit ashamed because I only inherited the game. But I am very happy that you all love this game! It feels right. Like family and to be at home.

I still can not play properly but that does not matter.
