An alpha test of combat between the human player and the AI opponent.
Some gameplay mechanics are deliberately different from those in Panzer General and the more recent Panzer Corps.
Units with transport can mount, move, dismount, and still attack if eligible. Artillery can provide supporting fire based on its firing range, so it no longer needs to be adjacent to the unit it is supporting.
The game runs as a native 64-bit Windows application.

Suggestions and feedback welcome.
I have two questions: how will your game differ from *Panzer General Forever*, and how can I create those animation circles that still fill me with a pleasant sense of nostalgia for my youth?
This project is at the very early stage, one difference is the transport of units who can mount, move, dismount and attack; another difference is that artillery and AA give covering fire as far as their range allows, friendly unit adjacency is not necessary.
I decided not to implement the circular animations, there are over 600 shp files with their animation frames.

Thanks for your input. I hope to implement a lot of features. But first i need to have the basics ready. My first aim is to have the original campaign running, the second is a Scenario generator. Currently i am still busy to implement the update and purchase mechanism followed by the creation of the deployement phase. The game will be free to play but a copy of DOS Panzer General must be on your device.
