While looking at matrix games, I learned that they had Steel Panthers world at war for a free download. For some reason, I thought the game "Soldiers at War" which sounded like "X-Com for WWII" was part of the package.
A quick download and the game was at my fingertips. I quickly booted it up and found it was a WWII engine very similar in appearance to something like Panzer General. It seemed to move quickly when I tried it. Again, it looked a little too complex for a quick spin. I'm really pressed for time and I need a set of rules I can grok immediately.
If the rules aren't straightforward enough to keep in my running memory, I don't want to learn it right now. The engine looks great but too more time for my needs.
