The infamous When Thread, LOL.
Well i could not hold out anymore and had to start the when thread, lol. So when are we looking at the game being available?
RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
All the previews would have you believe sometime next month in May. No official word has been released yet though just hold on a little while longer I suppose.
I also want to buy a copy badly.

Actually I think it is May 2111.

RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
The official site for the game says that there are 10 days, 08 hours, 02 mins until game is available (at time of writing). So I'm thinking mid-May if nothing goes wrong. Personally, I don't mind waiting longer if it means a less buggy game on release.

Amen Iain. I prefer games be released only when you are happy with them.

RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
There is good new and bad news. The bad news is we are not on track to release Panzer Corps in May as planned. The good news is that this is because we're adding more polish and some additional cool content and even more missions. We decided the game is looking so good we need to put that extra bit of time and effort in to making it a real hit.
We apologise for the delay and hope you can understand and be patient, the new date is set now for mid June!

RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
If we were to release it now, some of you would find the final campaigns extremely tuff. That may be ok for SOME of you, but not the majority. A little more tweaking of balance and things SHOULD all fall into place.
Of course, that isn't to say 1943 is going to be easy either.

That's fine. An extra month (or 2 or 3) doesn't bother me if it means a better game.

As long as it is not as tough as PGForever. I could hardly get through Poland let alone Norway at all so I ditched the game.

No problem, a clean release is good. A buggy PoS / bad game would not only reduce current sales , but also affect future products (at least for me)
RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
Yes, PG Forever just wasn't any fun.
RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
On the contrary, PG Forever made Panzer General fun again. At least for me it did. Fun is subjective, of course.
RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
Does the online option for Panzer General Forever work? I only play the single player because of time restraints at the moment, but I know it exists in the main menu.
If that works maybe a few of you could battle it out for a few weeks leading up to the PC release so you have a good feel of the mechanics of it all.

I found PG-Forever quite easy. However, IIRC Allied General in that package got very hard right from the second scenario into it.

RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
I don't believe you played the first two Poland scenario's and found it quite easy. We must have played two different games. Or you had a ton more prestige or turned off the time limit.
RE: The infamous When Thread, LOL.
I have very poor strategy brain but plenty of Panzer General experience. I think these two things balance each other equally. I just played PG Forever Poland and Warsaw scenarios, prestige normal, AI advanced, time limit normal, and won both on second attempt. This makes me classify them as easy. I prefer to play scenario which challenges me, makes me lose 5 times for every time I win, but not dependent on luck. It's more rewarding that way. If I win 50% or more, I get bored.
