Shrapnel Games Steel Panthers WW2 is the only SP to play, it the only SP that has been updated and upgraded since 1998. SPWaW has not been updated since 2004 and does not run or function properly on Windows 10. SP:WW2 is and does.
SP WW2 is the best hands down!
Back in the days when I still played computer games, I have sunk quite some time into the original (?) version of Steel Panthers. Fun stuff. I remember that I liked the 'big guns' creating caters and smoke. And the German 88's were just hell at long ranges just as they were in reality.
SP WW2 might be worth checking out.
A couple of weeks ago, I found another very old computer game, which I used to dabble with looong time ago:
Empire. It is really ancient - from 1977, thus coming a bit after 'Pong' but before 'Pacman'. In fact, Empire is as old as Squad Leader.
Not a complicated game, not even a WW2 wargame, but it was addictive nevertheless. I was surprised to find out, that it still exists after 44 years. For the fun of it, I bought a license for some 20 USD and have revelled playing it again for some time now in its current version (EDCE).

The question was asked what the creator of this site might have thought about political discussion, I tried to provide some context to cast light on that question. Others may have different memories of the period, I can only go off of memory as not a lot of the "old" site remains. But it's worthwhile noting how we got here nonetheless. My memory is that attempts to talk politics back when the forum was an adjunct to a (mostly video) gaming site didn't gain much traction but that the creator did try to do so. Worth noting also Don was a very heavy "free speech" guy and tended to fewer restrictions on what people talked about rather than more. There was just not an extraordinary amount of interest that I can remember in the handful of political discussions (many of which he started) at the time.
