Some wargamers here might be interested to learn that a new version of Panzer Generals is on its way...
Well, good news if you're an XBox Live Console user.
The rest of us PC owners can check out the boardgame version, I suppose... ;(
Here's a link to the official site:
Panzer General: Allied Assault
An intro video can be found at the
developers site.

The only thing that seems to have in common with Panzer General is the name.

It says this is based on the Panzer General series, but.....1)Failing to see the connection(this looks nothing like the original PG) and 2)Video game version only for XBOX Live is pathetic.Give the video game version to people who actually care about the series.....the PC players....no console player knows what the heck Panzer General was.[8|]

Erik,
maybe I'm completely wrong with that assessment, but I would tend to say that you forgot a matrix game on that list:
WW2: Time of Wrath . (sorry of I do not provide the link, but it's easy to locate)
I cannot say anything about operation Barbarossa. I agree that Commander-Europe at War, which I do own, does provide some Panzer-General feeling. But personally, as soon as I had bought Time of Wrath, my impression was that this is a better replacement for the PG series. Just my 2cts, though.

except for those who played the PS1 version of PG [;)] - but i doubt there were too many.
I remember playing that version and it had to reload when you wanted to look at the strategic map due to lack of memory [8|]

Hartwig, thanks for chiming in. I hadn't heard that feedback before but I'm happy to point people at WW2: Time of Wrath as well. I considered the other two closer to Panzer General in gameplay, but WW2: Time of Wrath is a fine game too.
Regards,

1)You missed my point.I was merely saying that most modern console players aren't going to what the original Panzer General was.
2)I didn't say that Strategy games suck on a console(though most do).Before, I played a game called
Advance Wars 2 and
Dual Strike on the game boy and Nintendo DS before I moved to computer games.
So, 3)Cut the crap save it for someone else.I'm not trying degrade consoles, I was merely saying I was disappointed the video game version was console only.

Your words:
no console player knows what the heck Panzer General was.
I'm a console player and I owned Panzer General.
If you want to walk your words back now then that's fine but don't blame me for your inability to properly express yourself, crapmeister.

Yes, saying "no" was over generalizing, I admit that.I think can properly express myself just fine, thank you.If you want start name calling I can do this all day pops.
And, you were the one getting upset over one little over generalization....I swear sometimes you guys are analyzing everything I say just to find something to get mad at.[8|]

What he said.
I'd thought about mentioning the PS version too, then thought that something like this could happen and didn't...
