Trying to Decide: Is Steel Panthers Right for Me?

[Kool Kat]

Hi Gents! :)

I have been "eyeing" Steel Panthers as a possible next game purchase, but need some feedback from SP vets. :chin:

I currently play Campaign Series and really enjoy that tactical level of combat - platoon-sized units. I have several current PBeM CS matches under way. I like to think of CS as the old AH Panzerblitz and Panzer Leader board games on "electronic steroids!"

So... if I am reading the SP game descriptions and viewing the screen shots correctly, SP depicts individual vehicle and troops - correct? SP would equal the old AH Squad Leader board games.

My main concern is that SP would take a very detailed minatures approach to WWII combat and also have an accompanying steep learning curve. I'm hesitant to purchase a game that would require a huge investment in my limited gaming time.

So, I would value constructive feedback on both the pros and cons of the SP gaming platform.

Thanks in advance for your replies. :cool:
