A superb armor simulation, fully loaded with a true combined arms environment. Although the more recent Steel Armor Blaze of War has a more complete user interface and graphics, the good old Steel Fury has a lot to offer for the repentant virtual armor commander in me.
The price of re-admission (going fishing for help on how to re-install and run it in Windows 10) was worth it. So far, I am just playing the vanilla game. The extensive modding that took place after release is kind of difficult to follow for this old gamer. Many files are not that accessible, buried in broken links and corners of the internet that my browser refuses to go.
I played a couple of tutorials and missions and off I went to the mission being shown in this blog post. In command of a platoon of PzIVs plus mechanized infantry, and after 10 years of additional wisdom, I see the battlefield differently now.
The dread of facing an unseen AT guns nest, the urge to protect the infantry, the search of folds of terrain offering hull down positions, the perils of being in an unbuttoned command cupola, the agony of being unable to depress the main gun due to an unfortunate fold in the terrain ...
Good times ahead.
Cheers,
