Edward "Volcano Man" Williams
Games I played and worked on:
I started out with John Tiller and as a tester for Tobruk '41, Kharkov '42, Bulge '44 and Korsun '44 until my love for John Tiller's games was finally realized after I made several supplemental scenarios for the release of Fulda Gap '85. After that I moved on to my first project: Korea '85. Prior to this I had created artwork modifications for all of John Tiller's games from the Panzer Campaigns series, Napoleonic Battles series, Modern Campaign series and the American Civil War series. I have also created several expansion packs for both Fulda Gap '85 and a 2004 Middle East war for Middle East '67.
I got my start in the game industry when I was first noticed by contributing to the Panzer Elite Development Group (PEDG) and creating sound effects for an older World War II era tank simulation, Panzer Elite. To make a long story short it introduced me to Alexander Delaney and a project known as Steel Beasts.
My primary interest since 1999, is working with eSim Games on Steel Beasts which is a tactical level simulation and strategy game of modern armored warfare. I am the lead sound effects designer as well as a scenario designer and I even test for inconsistencies in the game, given my experience with armor and the M1A1 tank. This simulation is used by several nations around the world as a training tool and is also used by the US military and even West Point Military Academy. We are currently painstakingly working on Steel Beasts 2.

Day Job:
I am primarily a 19K20, M1A1 Armor Crewmember (aka: tanker) in the US Army but I also am a sound effects designer / engineer for eSim Games' Steel Beasts series. In addition to all of that I also am attending college for a Computer Science degree.
Other Interests:
I enjoy creating alternate portrait sets and expansions for all of John Tiller's games (the modifications are found on this site), recording sound effects and I design board games in my spare time.
