Battle Isle was ruined by going for the "superior 3d look" with Battle Worlds Kronos; a game I helped to get released with Kickstarter out of loyalty, but like Panzer Corps 2, I haven't really played it. Same story for me, I also backed Battle Worlds Kronos and then played it for less tha...

Yeah, by now I download and have no physical box anymore. The big boxes for Steel Panthers II, Close Combat etc... were quite amazing. There were also smaller ones, Achtung Spitfire and Over the Reich had way smaller boxes. The two mentioned games were turned based air sims, something with a similar...

Battle Isle 1/2 were indeed great games, didn't know about the remake. It didn't quite work out as nicely in the "History Line" WW1 scenario. There was a similar style game with Mechs later on but it didn't keep my attention. The remasters of AoE2 and C&C really hammer home and prove t...

In fact, as a veteran strategy game game player in his 60s, I only play 4 games really; all remasters or remakes of 1990s strategy games - so that says it all. Wonder what the non Panzer General lineage games are! :) I also very much loved Steel Panthers and Close Combat. Both got some kinda remake...

Thanks for pointing this out.

It's still looking very good in 2026. Just reinstalled. I have to echo bondjamesbond, I never quite bonded (weak pun, sorry for that...^^) with Panzer Corps 2, but will give it another try soon. Panzer Corps is the best remake ever so far in my book, Panzer General deserves so much kudos and shows w...

I haven't in ages. I never got into Panzer Corps 2 and after the first Pacific campaign Order of Battle fell off hard for me as well. Sadly I am nowadays more watching the evolution of warfare live, at least thankfully from afar.

Perhaps 3d will grow on me eventually, but right now I really want my old 2d graphics back.

Same here, I don't like the looks of the map, units and the border of the map. I found that quite disappointing.

Damn I feel so old school. I remember having to wait for magazines to publish short cut keys and rules. We were proper gamers .. not like these molly coddled kids of today who want it all easy .. B17 without instructions .. made a man of you. :D Hehe! I have played B17, but I rather remember anothe...

Totally agree. And I was a purist, who didn't like any of the sequels (until Panzer Corps showed up). I can't believe how many hours I spent with that game. Panzer General and Steel Panthers are probably the games I've played the most amount of hours through the years. I just wish they'd make a seq...

Seems they are using GMT and set the timer wrong on Steam.

Still no download, no joy.

So... Poland North.

I wonder how similar these missions are to that of the Grand Campaign DLC of Panzer Corps 1!

I already went home, when it doesn't release at 16.00 GMT+1, I will invade Poland nevertheless and historians will blame it on Steam or Slitherine!

Ha! I had the exact same experience with Panzer General back in the day. Was it the mid 90s? I don't remember when it was released anymore (and yes, I know I can use Altavista or Lycos to search for an answer, but it's much nicer to reminiscence and speculate, cause that was another nice thing we d...

This should become the official manual and strategy guide! :D I remember, many, a damn many actually, years ago when playing Panzer General for the first time my first thoughts were "why are my tanks not my strongest units and why are they ***". I got in a rugged defense attacking a city w...

Dear Forum in 4 hours, you and me and many others not reading this will start invading Poland. I will probably be a bit late, as I just finish working around that time. Most people who don't know Panzer General/Corps are all WTF about me invading Poland, I am glad that I have this forum and that I d...

I am watching footage from beta testers or people who had permission to upload stuff, I am very excited. I am a bit worried about some hero traits just being too good, but nothing that couldn't be balanced out after release. I wondered if I should play my first campaign without picking any of the ne...

I can't help, but I expected some Mechs to attack tank columns with ultra-autocannons.

Makes me wonder how "extra prestige" traits compare to the other traits we can select.
