Hello! After playing the 1939 campaign mode for about 15 minutes i was very impressed with the gameplay. It was at this point that I decided the game would definitely be worth buying. I had no issues with performance. I'm using a AMD II X4 p20 processor with a Geforce GTS 450 , a midrange system, and the game runs perfectly. Fans of Panzer general II and similar games that hear about Panzer Corp should flock to this game...it is similar, every bit as addictive, and extremely fun. I had not previously noticed that there was also a tutorial option in the Campaign section and thought this a very good option for the new player since it was relatively easy. Once again though, I think it would be an effective tool to have explanations of basic gameplay and even possible strategies in the first tutorials for beginning players to familiarize them with the mechanics and strategies of the game. An excellent example of an outstanding way to make tutorials effective in order to capture and keep new players is used in the game "Blitzkrieg". Their method actually gives you an order like "Select a unit using left click" Once you do the given task, an "Objective complete" message appears on the screen. the next command might be an order explaining how to move the unit, and once again upon completion, rewards the player with an "objective complete" message. Subsequent tutorials would teach the player how to attack effectively and so on. This is an extremely effective way to familiarize new players with little experience to this genre of game and more importantly, keep their interest in the important first minutes of the game. As for veterans of this genre like myself, I think you have definitely managed to capture the essence of what makes this genre of game so much fun.
