From the newsletter: eSim Games to Celebrate Ten Years of Steel Beasts Mountain View, CA, April 21st, 2010.
Software developer eSim Games, LLC announced today a special offer leading up to August 21, the release date of the original Steel Beasts simulation game in 2000.
"As a big thank you to our supporters, and an invitation to new players, the price for SB Pro PE will be reduced by $25.- for the next three months," announced eSim Games' marketing director, Nils Hinrichsen. "A copy of Steel Beasts Professional PE will now cost just $100.- until we release the next upgrade on August 21st."
"I want to express our gratitude for the loyalty and encouragement of the whole Steel Beasts community," eSim Games' president Al Delaney said. "We've had countless suggestions for improvements, crucial help with testing, kind words, and even a number of volunteers over the past years to help us demonstrate our software at various exhibitions. The official fan site was founded by fans, and is still maintained to a large degree by volunteers. We want to thank the reviewers, the bloggers and anyone who helped to spread the word that a simulation of combined-arms combat tactics actually is a serious challenge - and quite fun at the same time."

I have been wanting to re-buy after I sold years ago and regretted so if I can buy within 3 months I will. Is it still shipped only from the US?

Personally I had my 10th anniversary three years ago, with the reference to teaming up with Al Delaney, so this time it's not such a big surprise. But still, given that we started this as an elaborate hobby with minimal expectation for commercial success, things turned out remarkably well.  And as the years (at least for us) were filled with intense work, it certainly doesn't feel like a decade (although I must confess that the grey hair we've grown during the years no longer can be ignored).
