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.

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.

We're looking at June right now - still polishing and imprioving the game. Dont want to release until we're completely happy.

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

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!

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)

Yes, PG Forever just wasn't any fun.

On the contrary, PG Forever made Panzer General fun again. At least for me it did. Fun is subjective, of course.

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.

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.

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.
