FERGETIT............... Buy Panzer Corps in July.

Looks like an updated version of Panzer General, which ain't a bad thing. Anyway, since HOS won't be out this year PC will be one of my Christmas presents. (-:

i've burned out on Panzer General and all the clones so bad, i won't buy it even though it's looking good. HoS on the other hand would be something fresh in a genre that isn't too innovative.

Yes it would be. It really would be. Too bad that there's no reason to believe that we'll be seeing it any time soon. This year is already half over and we haven't heard anything positive, so you can forget 2011. All we ever get from Walker is "we hope to have it out by X", but it never materializes. He's said that enough times for us to dismiss anything that he says about a release as grade A baloney.

I have been beta testing Panzer Corps and it looks like PG, but it is a different beast. Panzer Corps has been one of those "just one more turn" games" for me, keeping me up hours after bedtime. Give it a try.

You'll notice that neither Matrix nor Walker are rushing to answer your question. That's because all of the news that we have had in the past has been in the vein of "we hope to have it out by X", which never happens. None of the veterans of this group ask Walker anything anymore because none of the "news" that we have had in the past has been of any value.

How sad. I just seen this game awhile back and thought how great it will be to play a boardgame in this manner. What a neat concept ...its like close combat meets Squad Leader...well....guess I haven't waited as long as you guys...but still looking very forward to this when it finally comes out. It can't be "That" long off....;)

Y'know. When I see a post like this it really pisses me off. Many of us know the deal and we know that we aren't going to see the game anytime soon. Maybe not at all. So we make a joke out of it. But then guys like this come along expecting to actually see a game and all anyone can say is that it's all bullshit and unfortunately that's absolutely true. Walker has been stalling us for so long that nobody can possibly say anything positive about the development of the game. Nothing. Nothing at all!

Hasn't been any info for a bit, which is a little disappointing. Join (most of) the rest of us in finding something more productive to fill time with than pointless fist waving. [;)]

Don't know if you're a board gamer at all, but you could also check out some of Lock n' Load's board game offerings. Band of Heroes is quite good. I picked that up about 8 months ago,and have since purchased 3 expansions for the damn thing. [:D] And it's by a different company entirely, but I also highly recommend the Conflict of Heroes series from Academy Games.

Hey Arctic Blast, have you ever tried playing Band of Heroes by VASSAL? Either PBEM or "Live" via Skype? Great fun either way.
Let me know if you want to give it a try.

Hmmm... I haven't noticed any "pointless fist waving", but I have seen quite a few annoyed comments on the state of the game. Maybe&nbsp;you're thinking of&nbsp;another group?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

No need to apologize to me. You aren't the one that annoys me. We're just having a discussion about the non-progress of the game. (Gunhawk says as he "screams for the game" and "pointlessly waves his fist")
