What a clever idea and very well executed!

Fascinating to see the actual game maps pinned on to the the real-life locations.

I didn't realise GE was such a powerful tool. I wonder to what extent it could be utilised to integrate into computer based wargames?

Glad you enjoyed it [;)]

Thanks for the feedback, James. For anyone who's wondering what James is talking about, have a look here:

That's a great idea.

God have mercy on Matrix if Putin finds out about this.

Leave it to Matrix to complicate something. It doesn't work for me. Fellas, go ahead and take your shots at me IK have a thicker skin than you do, but a nice little demo that installs and runs would be better than this mess.
I thought I'd possibly try out this game but not now.

1. Did you follow the instructions carefully? It's as easy as installing Google Earth, opening the file and hitting play.
2. Why would we "take shots" at you?

If you need help, tell us where it's failing and we'll see if we can help you get it to work.

Nice guys. Novel presentation.

Hey, that's pretty darn neat. My wife showed me google earth a few months ago, she thought I might like to see where some of the battles I played were.

This takes that idea to the next level. Showing the actual game maps, and the game briefings in google earth is a pretty neat idea.

Erik, what a fantastic use of technology. I hope this idea catches on. I'll tip one to all involved. Jim

That was great. It would be good if there were any other similar packages for other battles.

It's too bad the Russian map plots are still in low-resolution, but nonetheless, an excellent presentation. I thought the front line plots were interesting all on their own, but the game maps were the icing on the cake - though it did tend to highlight the small scale of the game and the head-on nature of the engagements in Panzer Command. (Well, any tactical game, really).

One more way of trying to stay ahead of the curve - great use of technology.
