Well i could be wrong. That was just a guess. But Kurt joined the development team, and its up to him what to do with his work. Since he's now developing scenarios for Panther it would seem these scenarios are not really community any longer. And i think your comments aboug it smacking of greed are so far wide of the mark they make me cringe a bit, because i think no one has made any money at all out of command ops and the owner/lead developer/one man show behind the series has to constantly look for other work to support himself. And, it seems to me, thats nearly always the way it is with low budget, low earning niche war games put together on enthusiasm and love for afficionados like you and me. With Panther im afraid always that the whole thing is about to stop, full stop, because it is so much a niche game. No one makes money out of these things. So enjoy your free engine and free content whilst you can!
