Checking in.... - TheBigRedOne - 05-16-2026 What's up, folks?  Just seeing who is still around here, and who even remembers me! It's been quite a while since I was active in the SB world, hoping to maybe start back up again as my sons' school year comes to a close.  I'll let you all know if I'm back on the ladders for some games.  I'm starting to shake off a few years of SB rust right now! As you all have probably realized, I retired Task Force Echo 4's website a bit ago.  With all of the long needed major modifications being done to the graphics and engine by WDS, most of the graphics material on the site was rendered obsolete/incompatible.  Also, nearly all of the custom scenarios were transferred into the stock games prior to John's passing and WDS absorbing things, so I closed shop.  I still have pretty much everything, including a lot of old graphics files from folks probably long gone from the SB community.  If there's something you might need, just drop me an EMAIL or a PM here.  I need to see what address I've got on here.... Hope all is well with you all! Alan RE: Checking in.... - Embis - 05-16-2026 Hi Alan, Kinda quiet around here these days as you can see, I lurk and pick up the occasional game but mainly from old opponents who email me directly. More activity on the WDS forums. RE: Checking in.... - Stejones82 - 05-17-2026 Very good to see you! Thank you for all your work of the past! Yes, it is too quiet here. SqB is getting some much needed love, and the Blitz crowd does not seem to realize. My guess is that the much needed love has arrived a bit too late, but no one can do everything at once. I am in awe that the WDS folks are letting us update 20 year old games to modern status for no cost! A real argument could be made that these are 'new' games and should be sold at retail. To those who have not played for a while: please, get the new DLs and give a try. Yes they are new, but the developments are nice once you get used to them. My own experience is: now familiar with the new UI and all the changes under the hood, I'm less likely to get into the 'old' games which have not been updates. Steve J RE: Checking in.... - Warhorse - 05-23-2026 Hi Alan, Still heavy into SB and modding the hell out of it!! Just released the SBWW2 West Front for the newest version of Eagles Strike. Need a game, let me know!! Mike
