Steel Panthers 3: Brigade Command - 1939-1999

Steel Panthers 3: Brigade Command expands the series into larger-scale warfare, putting you in charge of formations where the number of units on the map can become rather intimidating. Covering conflicts from 1939 through 1999, it offers an enormous historical playground, with infantry, artillery, armor and support units all competing for space and survival. The game remains firmly rooted in turn-based tactical combat, but the larger scope means that simple decisions can have surprisingly long consequences. You are not merely deciding which tank fires next; you are trying to make an entire force work as a coherent machine. The presentation is suitably military, with little interest in unnecessary decoration. Steel Panthers 3 is demanding, occasionally overwhelming and wonderfully nerdy. Players who enjoy studying maps and battle orders more than admiring explosions will find an unusually deep strategy experience hiding behind its modest graphics.
