Oh .... really?

(Well, except for EDITMBT, but that's used for unit editing, not playing the game. SETSOUND also runs, but isn't of use to run the game either. "intro" is a Windows NT executable, "Mech" is a PE executable, whatever that means.)

steel3.exe . Your argument is invalid.
If your copy does not have it, re-download the archive.

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.

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.
