The short list of nit picky complaints we did have about the game are ALL being addressed in ToP's sequel, Panthers in the Shadows . Here is the official HPS Simulations description of Tigers on the Prowl . Keith Medlin's Battlefront Messenger brief review of Tigers on the Prowl and Panthers in the Shadows Tim Maushardt's Panthers in the Shadows review .

Units are platoons and sections and the player controls up to a brigade sized force.
Panthers uses the same game system as ToP but with a number of significant improvements. The first improvement players will notice is the graphics face-lift. We never found ToP a difficult game to learn and play, but after using the new Staff Menus in Panthers, we wonder how we ever got along without them. The Staff Officers consist of nine separate menus covering all phases of the game. One great feature of the Staff Officers is the ability to highlight selected units on the map from the particular Staff Menu.
