After a few hours play

Post by eirhead »

Ok, So I've played for several hours, mostly the tutorials & campaign tutorials and dipping into a few of the different scenarios,
will start a campaign soon.
Game runs really smoothly, no bugs as yet.
I'm pretty suprised at how close it is to the original PG, I was expecting a lot more innovations,
really happy with the game play, it'a a lot of fun just, thought it might be less linear as regards to the campaign tree, i.e. more random type battles
Fire & move is a nice addition to original

A few ideas/suggestions

On the 'new game' page: Discriptions of scenerios, forces available etc.

Discriptions of the various units on the purchase screen and reasons why you would purchase them,
e.g. Anti-tank Gun: Good in defense against armour, but weak against Inf. troops and vulnerable to air attack.

Too difficult to distingush betwwen core & aux forces, maybe black & white as opposed to gold & silver would be better

A dedicated screen/page to manage your core units between battles

Pz IV E and F on purchase screen should be short barrel

Warning (red) on units running low on fuel & ammo as it's easy to miss at present

Upturned boat graphic for bridge/pontoon engineeres is pretty awful

P- 39 airacobra as Russian fighter
Hs 129 as German Tac Bomber

Add leaders with traits as in PG2

Not sure what plans there are for an editor but would think it essential,
some kind of random battle generator might be a good idea also

As suggested before, alternative terrian tiles to break up the monotony of large areas of forest/hills/clear

I've seen mention of an editor in the forum, is it in the beta (I have ver. 0.96) and if so where do I find it?

Thanks for the feedback. You should find Scenario editor exe in PzC folder. Path something like this:

C:\Program Files\Slitherine\Panzer Corps
