Just bought the game

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

Just bought the game

Post by goulash »

Hi all

I never really played too much of Panzer Generals but I did play them as a kid and did enjoy them. I have played lots of strat games but just stumbled accross this and immedietly bought to bring back memories.

It has just been installed and I have not tried it yet so I will report back in a bit to see if I got hooked. Hope this game expands and expands :)

Hope you enjoy it. I'm loving it! I wish more game publishers would see the wisdom in reviving some of the older PC games whose main appeal was addictive gameplay rather than flashy graphics.

Seconded. No graphics and no gigantic budget can beat a better idea, and unfortunately I saw a decline of strategy and war games over the years that was NOT funny! :(

Glad we have Panzer Corps. If you want to support another smaller studio that also released a great game, give "Sins of a Solar Empire" a try. PC and Sins are my favorite strategy games at the moment.

I don't regret my purchase at all. I have only really played strictly online so far. It's a great system they have setup where I can play and then go back to finish up another turn when I get time. I have met some really nice people already though no matter who wins or loses it's good fun with a certain few.
I hope we get more expansions in the future and I hope the modding community keeps going strong looking forward to some custom stuff.

No - "Sins" is a RTS, I didn't play any kind of "Sim" for ages.

Huge fan of Panzer General, also played Allied General and Panzer General 3D but there was something about the first, Panzer General that was just the best of all the games in the series. I will probably pick this up next paycheck in two weeks.

Well I have now played a couple of games both single player and Multiplayer. I love the way the multiplayer turn is handled via email notification.

I really am enjoying the game and cant wait till it expands and expands.

This has to be one of the very few game purchases where the initial release is not riddled with bugs and by the time they get patched up, the game could be bought for £4.99. Out of box, it plays grea IMHO and can only get better.

Thats how I heardabout panzer Corps. Was reading about Panzer General 2 on the forums and this game was mentioned. Picked up the boxed/digital package for 49 bucks and feel very happy with my purchase!
