Have fun reading,

Here some more comments on that this is just PzC with a Warhammer 40,000 re-skin. Of course it share some similarities and is also a hex-base turn based game. but there are some big differences:

Armageddon has some high level similarities with Panzer Corps (in particular branching campaign and unit carry-over) and UI organization is similar too. However, battlefield tactics is indeed different. Here are just some things which drive combat in Armageddon, but which were not present (or played a very minor role) in Panzer Corps:

- most units have ranged attacks
- cover
- line of sight
- accuracy
- rate of fire
- several weapons per unit
- morale
- assaults
- units with multiple hit points, stacks of widely different size

Oh, and graphics engine has been rewritten from scratch too. New DirectX-based implementation gives some nice advantages, like smooth zooming in a very wide range. Also, the units have 6 orientations now, as opposed to 2 in Panzer Corps, and fire multiple weapons when attacking, so combat looks much better than in PzC.

Sounds very different from PzC based off those points. Very cool! I

I was previously in the camp of thinking it looked like a straight reskin, happy to be proven wrong. To be fair, when looking at screenshots one can't really see all those things.

Thanks for that list.

I never played PzC past the demo, because I don't like the way you just move units into each other and they attack. In my opinion, you could just reskin it for knights etc and the game would play the same.

I assume by ranged attack, you mean that units shoot over multiple hexes, instead of just bumping into each other and attacking. Big fan of Warhammer 40K, so looking forward to how this one turns out.

Thank you , now take my money.
