Reviews:

Computer Gaming World, February 1997

"Following the success of the original Steel Panthers, the question was: could its game engine be adapted to modern armored combat without a serious overhaul? Armored warfare in World War II was primarily a question of gun power against armor thickness, and few weapons were effective beyond 1,000 yards. However, in this age of highly accurate, long-range guided missiles, high-tech fire control and gun stabilization, Chobam and reactive armor, helicopter gunships and troop transports, supersonic attack aircraft, cluster munitions, radar and infrared antiaircraft systems and a variety of armor-piercing ammunition, simulating the interaction between the units and wapons systems is a far more complex proposition. To their credit, designers Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors have made it happen. Steel Panthers II, while more complex than its predecessor, is just as much fun to play."
