- Description: Based on SSI’s Steel Panthers: Modern Battles (SP2), SPMBT stands for Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tank. It provides tactical level simulations of combined arms combat post World War II (1946) into the future (2020).
- Review: A great game but the graphics have become quite dated. While they are continuously upgrading the icons they could probably use a few additional talented designers to really give the game a visual overhaul.
