I have the next best thing to Secret Weapons of the Lufftwafe. Get IL2 1946 for $9 oline then download my WWIII 1946 campaign at Missions 4 Today.I've tried to include all the weird planes I could in a cohesive storyline.

Look for missions by Hairog and then any of the WWIII 1946 campaigns.

With all the times Steel Panthers has been mentioned, and all of the talk about a remake here, on the Matrix forums and at the SPWAW Depot, you would think that someone would get the hint and start working on it.

 

Maybe we need to plead directly to Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors

 

 

Edited because I can't spell

 

 

Even just a Graphics Update would be awesome, no need to change the Gameplay!.. Of course a more reasonable price would be in order too.. still can't believe SPWAW is 69 bucks for download!

 

I disagree. The graphics are ok as they are, but there is a serious need to improve some things in gameplay.

* Multiplay, it was fun but very unstable and fiddly.

* AI really needs to be improved to stop mindless rushes and tanks outrunning infantry. The AI is good for simulating 1941 British and Soviets, and Japanese Banzai charges. Especially the function when after you have taken all the objectives all the AI squads just rise and charge seems very Iwo Jima, but not really fitting for anything else.

* More variation in random battles. It would be easy to include unexpected counterattacks etc. It's all very predictable as it is.

Double Disagree definately needs a graphics make over; i for one struggled to pick out units from backgrounds.

Age of Rifles, definitely.

 

(I'm perfectly fine with Shrapnel's current versions of Steel Panthers (SPWW2 and SPMBT)).

Same here.

In addition, I'll put in my usual request for a redone Star Trek TNG: Birth of the Federation. 

  

That would be nice too.

Definitely Age of Rifles!!!

Also, SSI's Star General.  Lots of games have tried, but none have captured the same feel as Star General.

Another one would be Man of War and/or Man of War II.  I really miss those games.

I also would like to see Age of Rifles redone. And Knights of Honor would be on my list as well!

Hmm, no one else liked Chaos Overlords like I did eh?  That makes me sad!  Wargames (or the topics thereof) are remade ad nauseum but I haven't seen a similar game to CO since it was made.

Ok, I admit the graphics could do with a makeover, but what I meant was that there are more important areas, and gameplay does need a refurbishment. If I could have just one, I would be totally happy to play SP with the old graphics with an AI and scenario variation enhancenmment.

yeah, good call, for sure

Age of Rifles and Steel Panthers

and Robert E. Lee Civil War generals

1. Civil War Generals 2 ... 2. Falcon 4.0... 3. Railroad Tycoon 2... 4. Bravo, Romeo, Delta or whatever that nuclear war simulation was called... 5. Age of Sail 2

V4V/World at War series. My all-time beloved wargames.

Many, many years ago Matrix started to work on a game, that had a strong chance of becoming a true remake of V4V/WaW - Combined Arms: World War II (formerly Battlefields!). But now it looks, project is dead...

Steel Panthers...as the many responses show...one of the best wargames ever made...why not a deluxe version with lots of additional content to draw volume? Personally I would settle for a graphics update...simply love that game!
