Default SimHQ celebrates Steel Beasts' 10th anniversary...

... with this:

It was spring ’98 by now. I tested how much the engine could handle, and built a crazy mission that I was sure would make the game crash. More than 550 vehicles were put into that mission — one battalion of blue defenders versus one and a half red tank regiments! The first time I saw the avalanche of Red’s attack, I was downright frightened. There were so many targets, I hardly knew where to start — and these guys were shooting back! Furious action arose... bullets flying everywhere, and exploding tanks wherever I looked. It was a nightmare. For the first time of my life I had gotten a faint glimpse of what the chaos of a real battlefield could be like. All the training of the Bundeswehr couldn’t have prepared me for this experience.

More and more testers were introduced into the beta team. We got active duty M1 tankers, guys from Sweden, retired US tankers, and we started to discuss numerous aspects of the gameplay. We formed (and still are) probably the most competent and detail oriented beta test group a tank sim development team the world has seen so far.
Plus a photo of the mystery man himself, Mr. Al "Great Unknown" Delany.

First version of SB was shipped Monday, August 21st 2000.

List of military customers: Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Spain, Canada.

Happy Birthday, SBP!
