I only really started PC gaming in 2000 or so.

i am not nearly enough right wing to be on this board,
or to have this hobby.

LOL. Not to worry, you aren't alone.  While the regular populace would most likely find me to be a centrist curmudgeon, the "Attila was a socialist" types who make up the vocal majority on this board would put me in the same category as Chairman Mao.

I have it on good authority that Attila once supported a left-leaning politician in Rome - in his college days, of course.

Attila was a socialist?  Crazy.  I'd have classified him as a despot.

That would be 'Dear Despot'.

I don't play shooters.  Some give me motion sickness.

If they have head-bob it's almost instantaneous for me.

I asked my sister to knit those for me. Turns out it's a crochet pattern. And she doesn't want to do it. But apparently she's hiring one of her knitting buddies to do it for my x-mas gift. Will keep you posted.

I found the Matrix site while looking up SPWAW years ago.. think back then the Mega Campaigns were separate... Still haven't bought it yet, due to the price, but I bought plenty of other titles from them.  ;D

Staggerwing

I bought the 'Lost Victories' Mega campaign back then, along with the Rommel one. Both are long lost now, probably accidentally deleted when I junked one of my old rigs. Coincidentally, I'm taking Eddy Steryx's copy off his hands, along with WITP (orig. flavor). Has there been any further development of the SPWaW edition that comes with the Mega campaigns?



(I'll be able to save WITP for a future GH non-playing confessional. Woot!)

I only played Steel Panthers one time and found the graphics so horrible I quit the game and started up JT's Campaign Series.   :o
