Omg, playing this game on a console is self punishment 

I have to disagree on that, OoB is by no means similar to PC2 other than the era and events both games are based at.sk1lledk1ll wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 3:19 pm You have given 0 counterpoint for the fact that Panzer General 1, which really is the OG Panzer Corp, beer snd pretzel game, started as a PS1 game. The genre has console origins to begin with. Order of Battle, another game by Slitherine, very similar to Panzer Corps 2, is also available on Xbox/PS, I play it on Xbox and it works great. It might seem unplayable to you personally but that does not mean that's an objective observation nor that Console players should be deprived of the opportunity to play and make those decisions for themselves.
I am quoting myself: "You dont have a mouse, and you dont have a keyboard".
How? Both are Hex based beer and pretzel wargames. Differences in certain mechanics but the games are definitely somewhat related/similar and made by the same developers as well (Slitherine)VirgilInTheSKY wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 4:29 pmI have to disagree on that, OoB is by no means similar to PC2 other than the era and events both games are based at.sk1lledk1ll wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 3:19 pm You have given 0 counterpoint for the fact that Panzer General 1, which really is the OG Panzer Corp, beer snd pretzel game, started as a PS1 game.

Slitherine is the publisher, not the developer... maybe you should check out their store infos at least before replying my post.sk1lledk1ll wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 5:22 pm How?

I agree 100%. Panzer General on the PS1 is what got me started on the series back in 1995 I think I and been playing them ever since. I would love to see Panzer General 2 on the Xbox.sk1lledk1ll wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 3:19 pm You have given 0 counterpoint for the fact that Panzer General 1, which really is the OG Panzer Corp, beer snd pretzel game, started as a PS1 game.

First games probably were based on stones and wood. I see no reason to go 3 steps back, just because a 20 years old game was released for kids on console.sk1lledk1ll wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 5:20 pm I gave you examples, Panzer General (the godfather of Panzer Corps) was on PS1. Order of Battle WW2 by Slitherine which is a similar game, also on console. Can you read or did you purposely ignore them.
What are you talking about? Of course Consoles have Mouse & Keyboard support, have been for years. I play for example Age of Empires 2 & 4 all the time with Xbox Series X and it's awesome. It's 1:1 as it is on a PC, expect in my case it's a lot better on a Console while the PC is so old and doesn't run it so well. For those who want there is also a Controller support, but it's up to you which to use. I prefer M&KB for that game, while it's RTS.DefiantXYX wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 2:17 pm You dont have a mouse, and you dont have a keyboard. I am using so many shortcuts, would be a nightmare to "click" on all the buttons with a controller.
Nothing is more annoying for me than a poorly adapted console game on pc.
