Re: Steel Tigers: Vapor Ware
Steel Panthers is awesome, still is. Mega Campaigns are still playable. And with the enhancements from the Depot guys, it is still working fine in 2024. The fact is, Steel Tigers is an idea from 2005 or so. It's an idea that hasn't happened for 20 years. The program as it was, might as well never ha...

Re: Headquarters World War II - Is coming on April 11th
My first look at it was back a while, and it was favourable. The similarities to Battle Academy is a plus for me. But not everyone liked BA. Granted if everyone liked games my way, and they were all made my way, chances are the hobby would be a lot plainer too. Going to revisit the demo, as my compu...

Digital vs cardboard.
Does there need to be a competition? No. Is there competition, yes, very much so. Do most wargamers play both? I think most do. But where do their loyalties rest. Well in my case, I'm a hard core fan of cardboard. Given a choice, I will tend to pick cardboard every time. That said, I have a great ma...

I have all the DLC and after looking through the editor, it appears there are no blank slate maps.

Re: Steel Tigers: Vapor Ware
It ain't coming, get over it. Contact the Depot guys, find out how to get yer Steel Panthers installed for 2023, stop waiting for Steel Tigers. But there's a good news: " The Troop " has just left the early release status and it's a great game! with huge Steel Panther "flavour",...

Re: Steel Tigers: Vapor Ware
its because no one want to be compared as a dev against the orignal, I think they should just improve the original, buy running it in an emulator or something. Nah, it's not that complicated. It was an idea, for a while. But they lost their window, the world moved on, Shrapnel did a continuing grea...

Unity Engine insanity in the news
I will mention, I don't know much about game engines. On YouTube there is a lot of talk about the Unity Engine, and I guess the people behind the Unity Engine and some actions they plan to take that will adversely impact any dev that uses it in their game. I'm wondering what the thoughts are regardi...

Re: AI in Turn Based Strategy Games
WHY play the AI at all? What is keeping you from playing you vs you? Play your best turn, then proceed to laugh at your pathetic best efforts :) Playing the AI is like saying you can't get a date. It sounds soo, tragic. I couldn't care less if the AI is any good at all. I only care if the game has n...

Re: Favorite games
Lots of great games, but in the end I remain a loyal fan of Steel Panthers World at War version played specifically with the Mega Campaigns. This title is the main reason I even consider a computer an adequate means to play a wargame. I remain a passionate board game wargamer though, and likely will...

Re: Steam Store vs Matrix Store
The further you get from the person who made the game, the less money they get for the sale. Slitherine Group offers a free Steam Key for almost everything. Why buy on Steam if you don't need to. Pricing, well once a year I get a coupon gift if I genuinely need to save a few bucks. They have numerou...

Re: Strategy vs Time-Management Games
The problem with RTS, is the first word. It isn't real time in the game. Merely actual time to the human playing it. If in the human's reality, the game has run for 5 minutes, it is ONLY 5 minutes. But if during those 5 actual minutes, the game has simulated 5 months, it's hardly real eh. RTS, best ...

Re: Dual Forums, but not dual representation of games?
I guess no one has any thoughts on this topic. Not everyone is here on Slitherine, and not everyone is on Matrix Games forums. If you tend to prefer here, you will lack awareness of games not represented here. I found out about WEGO Stalingrad by accident of chance on YouTube. I do think there shoul...

Dual Forums, but not dual representation of games?
Just curious. Inasmuchas it is referred to as Slitherine Group, Is Slitherine and Matrix Games one corporate entity, or not? I ask because Matrix Games and Slitherine seem to have some games that are represented equally, while others are not. I just saw mention of a title called WEGO Stalingrad whic...

Why not at Matrix Games?
I don't mind either way, but it seems unusual that the Matrix Games forums is not hosting discussion over on their site for Panzer Corps 2.
They have the Panzer Corps 1 forums, but it seems no one is talking much about PC2 there.

Ok, I shouldn't have spent that 27 bucks, but the freezer is full
I grabbed it up today. 40% is a nice treat. The AO files are going to need to wait though

Hey all, yeah, hard to believe, but Bunny doesn't have Panzer Corps 2 yet. No real reason, beyond, I've never really worn out the Original. I'm not against getting it. I guess I've been hoping for a PC2 Gold or something :) I've been watching the release of Axis Operations. And now mention of the Pa...

Re: Steel Panthers World at War
It is.
This game has evolved many times. The current advice is easy to find. But you have to be interested in at least taking the advice.
