...thank you Matrix for this massive free upgrade.

Sure, "it's our patch" - and the patch we were waiting on years ago. But this is obviously more than a patch. You've basically gave us a new game for free.

There was very little wrong with Panzer Command:Kharkov - so the patch wasn't even something that was required to play.

So thank you. It's a very genuine offer from a very genuine company. [&o]

Yes indeed....amazing company these boys have got here.  Can remember the early days when Steel Panthers, Mega Campaigns and lets not forget the free versions of Pacific War and the War in Russia drew me in like a moth to a flame to the Matrix site......have never left and now check the site daily to see whats up.

Thanks guy's and hopefully other vendors see some of the things you guys do for the customer and try to copy your tried and true methods.

Now lets talk about releasing them Mega Campaigns as freebies...lol jk

Well at least cutting the price in 1/2 for the Steel Panthers:Generals Edition. Might get a lot of new players for $25 and all that comes with it.

I remember when there was nothing but spwaw to download here. Those were the days. They have come quite a way since. Its like a golden age of wargaming now.

Matrix has proved that indies can really be a serious alternative to big gaming companies.

You're absolutely hopeless!

Thanks guys, I'll ask one favor in return... give us some feedback! [:)] Post some AARs, let us know how you like (or don't like) the game, give us some feature wishlists, etc.

Regards,

- Erik

Here's a tad bit of feedback. I love the game. I have not been this stoked about a game in a long long time. Having never played PC before it is all a new experience.

As far as an AAR, the last thing I need is the whole community critiquing my every move and grammar. I'd sure like to read some though.


Great game overall. PC:O has rekindled a tactical fire that I had thought burnt out many years ago.

If it was about critiquing your every move and grammar there would be few AAR's ever written. We are gamers too. We know how it feels to either do well or not. Many AAR's are written by people whose primary language isn't English.

So, been there and done all that.

If you feel like sharing we'll be happy to read what YOUR experiences were. They will in your words because they are your experiences.

There are lots of ways to share though and not everybody feels comfortable doing AAR's.

A simple game review or feedback of any kind is often just as insightful.

Thanks for being a part of the community. That alone makes it a stronger hobby.

Good Hunting.

Once I get the screenshots to work, I'll be putting together a 1st Panzer long campaign AAR (though less detailed than the one I did for PCK a looong time ago [:)])

Screen shots are as easy as hitting the F8 key while you're in the game.

Good Hunting.

Yeah, I tried that but it appears that there is no 'Screens' folder by default. I have created one but haven't tried to F8 yet.

There is no screens folder until you hit F8 while in the game and take a screen shot. Then PCO creates one and puts your screen shots in it.

Good Hunting.

Ah OK, in my case, it didn't - no idea why. Now I have manually created it, I'll see if it works.

Yes, I heartily agree and thank you Matrix and PzsC team ! I never had such a game at such a price [:D]!
Feedback for Erik : d/l is darn slow, like 200Ko/sec where my DSL has 5x that speed ! More than 2 hrs to completion [:(]

I hadn't taken any since I upgraded. So I did and it created the file for me.

Good Hunting.

Of course, we have to make a living.

Best game I've got in years!

Thanks to all whose foresight and hardwork made this happen.  It's a fine effort indeed.

BTW, the mapmaker is really cool.  I've only been messing around with it but even for an idiot like me it seems pretty straightforward to use.  It could be the decisive factor in bringing a good number of new players by way of increased user-made content.

Matrix Games will be around for a VERY long time because of its great customer service! Just a thoughtful, caring bunch of people. And of course, great thanks to the brilliant modders for their time and effort and skills.
Thank you. [:)]
