Where's Panzer Corps 2 forum?

Hi I've been away from this site for a while but now I can't find the Panzer Corps 2 forum (needle/haystack), has it been discontinued or what?

What's happed to the Store?

I've been away from the Matrix site for a couple of years but recently returned and it seems the site layout has changed. For example I click on 'Store' and only 12 games come up !

Re: Scenario Complexity


I think The Troop is a FPS type of game similar to CM, so it’s not knocking try he socks off of a lot of folks that don’t like first person shooter type of games.


I don't like 1st-person shooters myself, but Troop (and CM) are THIRD-person games..:)
Correct me if i'm wrong, but 1st person means ...

Re: Scenario Complexity

..Lots of luck finding a war game with only 20 maneuver units per side...


Check out 'The Troop' which is blowing people's socks off (including mine) over at Steam, it typically has only about 16 to 22 units per side but is single-player only, so we have to play against the AI, which incidentally ...

Re: Scenario Complexity

On reflection perhaps I phrased my original question badly so let me rephrase it-
Are there any full computer wargames out there that have very low unit counts, say less than 20 on both sides?
I should add that I'd prefer any with a random mission generator so we don't have to keep playing the same ...

Thanks guys, and here's a nostalgic pic of Gaz and me (I'm the hairy freak on the right) with some of the boardgames we played in the early 1980's just before the arrival of the home computer era..:)-

Re: AI in wargaming

The AI in 'The Troop' is one of the toughest i've ever gone up against in my 41 years of computer wargaming, it's so bloody good that some players swear it's cheating, but the devs assure us the AI plays to exactly the same rules as the human player..:)

Any small games out there?

Is it just me, or am i alone in wishing for some smaller simpler computer games?
I must be getting old, but it seems most games nowadays are too big for me to comfortably get my head round.
Is there a category at Matrix called something like 'Smaller Games' that I can browse?

PS- anybody remember ...

How do I install Camp Series?

<r> Hi, I just tried to install Campaign Series on my new PC so I selected the 2014 update from the list below, and although it said "Installation successful" I can't find the exe or an exe shortcut on my system (sniffle).<br/>
Should I have installed the 2007 and 2008 ones first?<br/>

RE: BA2: We were spoiled

<r> BA2 is one of my all-time favourite games (especially in Skirmish auto-generated battle mode) because it's played on a square grid and has a chess-like feel to it, where positioning is everything to hold the enemy in check by playing with our brains first and our weapons second..<E>:)</E><br ...
