KP1 KP Being a WWII-nerd this is my number one computer game. I keep returning to it a couple of times a year and end up wasting a week or two gaming each time. This is the standard each new game I try will have to mesure up to... ; )

Sure the visual is old yet good but where this titel really shine is the balance and historical depiction of most units which is about as good as you can get it.

History

We use this in history, and the other two as well, im 15 and go to the after school history club. Its a sim not a game, it simulates a battle, it dose this very well, but it takes some getting used to.

If your a game player then go away, if you want to find out what might have happened, or just want to control a battle group you found a very good programme.

A real pity they gave up on number 3, with more power in modern CPU's they could have had a winner, if only for geeks like me.

As it stands this program cannot be used with dosbox and would require either a no-cd crack or some way to redirect it to my actual CD to use. Otherwise you might as well pull this or at least not pretend it's compatible with dosbox.
steel3.exe . Your argument is invalid.
If your copy does not have it, re-download the archive.

I know this game can actually be run in dosbox; that's how I ran it off my CD version back in the XP days, but with the shift to 64-bit windows the CD I have can no longer install. (Shame too, it includes the extra scenario for the registered CD.)

Ironically I can actually run the files inside the download via my version of Windows 7, but they expect to find a Steel Panthers 3 CD in my C: drive when that's happening.

DarthHelmet86 Well that question can only be answered with more questions I am afraid. The easist way is to direct you to the DOS Box tutorials.

clifford1944 I have Steel Panthers 3 and when I saw it here I downloaded and am playing a fast campaign in late 1943 as Germany. I put on the points as 800 so I won't have that many units. I wish that SP3 had a long campaign. If the points are like 3000 then that is too many units to handle.
