Welcome to the beta test!

Lol, yeah, looks weitrd i guess

But honestly, I thought I made at least some posts.....played the beta versions quite a lot. Maybe the things i had to pint out for critics were already mentioned by others. So I didn´t made posts myself. Watched the forum regulary though.

Its good to get feedback even if it just confirms what others are saying. Next time just say it even if it is repeating others feedback.

There must have been things you liked or didnt like - thats what we want to know.

Yeah, you´re right.
But take my word to this: the game will be purchased by me. Hope a boxed version will also be released....

I have been afforded the oppurtunity to help Beta test a few games and have played the MP quite a bit. I usually post more than I have for this playtest, my wife is being treated for breast cancer and my time has been limited. I posted a few times tho...loading the original download...and I believe I reported a MP bug where the wrong scenario and side was loaded...if I didn't I hope my opponet did.

I am an old boardgamer and the similarity to a boardgame that handles the rules questions and die rolls is a big sell point for me. I certainly hope I will b able to participate in beta test in he future. I am also a member of a miniatures club and am interested in helping to beta mini fig rules when needed.

I believe this is a good counterpoint to Battlefield Academy...more of a gamers game rather than any attempt to be a simulation.

I congatulate you the programmers on an excellent product.

Great game, great experience. PC feels like an old friend has returned but better. I wish I could get as good a facelift but c'est la vie. Well done indeed, this game is going to the top of my charts for years to come.

I have been mostly silent but I must say thank you and good job! You have come a long way to give us a decent panzer general successor with enough new twists to keep it interesting, which is a pretty strong achievement!

I wish I could have helped out more, but my own medical problems got in the way. Its a great looking sim, I hope it does well!

I have enjoyed this game immensly! Looking forward to the final version...I saw someone mention a discount?? As a person on a fixed income I could sure use that!!!

Thanks for being part of your beta test - although the game didn´t met all of my expections (mentioned it in a few post whats missing in my opinion) I hope you will have success, so you can give the game some more things.

As for the" should I buy the game questions" - I don´t think so, campain is to short and after playing the beta for about 30 times the thrill for the game is gone for a while, maybe when there cames a better campain around or an addon which brings in the africa theatre.

After playing 30 times you have had enough? I am not surprised! How many times would you want to play the game to feel like it had replay value?

Eich · Post by **Eich** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:07 pm

Do you mean you played 30 games or have you finished the campaign 30 times in total? I mean if you played every campaign for 30 times I can understand a certain satiety ^^ But I think the meat of this game is multiplayer. I havn't tried that one yet because I'm a noob and didn't have time to level myself up during actual campaign ^^

Eich, you should try the Multiplayer games, they are great and u dont have to be an expert to play them

Yes about 30 times the campain - If I test a game I try to test it right and I try to give the devs a feedback to make the game better. How many times would I want to replay the game ? Hmm, as much times I replayed Panzer General and Panzer General 2 (or 3d in Germany) - numberous times.
As for the mulitplayer part - I don´t mind thats not my kind ogf game.

I was very impressed with it. I will be buying it. Thanks for making this game.

What made you want to play PG/PG2 more?

Looking forward to the final release. Although I will play single player campaigns every now and then it is the MP game I am looking forward to most. Very good work by the developers and I wish you all the best and a lot of success with PC!

Looking forward to playing for a long time to come. Excellent game, good work!

I have been busy and wish I could have been more helpful. The game has morphed into a real contender as one of the best turn based wargames out there. Growing up with Avalon Hill and SPI games I love the simplicity and yet wonderful feel that reminds me of those sorts of games. Keep the fire burning and others like me will praise the effort put into this product and will be eager to see what will be around the bend at slithrine.

End of the Beta

Thanks for the beta!!

A great game that will revive the wargamers spirits
