Hi!

I start with my computer system:

Intel i5 750
4 GB Ram
Radeon 6950
Windows 7 64bit

No problems with installing the game, this was finished in a few minutes.

Impression after 30 seconds:

Wow, a game from Slitherine/Matrixgames which can be displayed correct at a 27'' monitor in natural resolution. (After the second start of the game I would find it more comfortable to start the game with the same resolution instead of always choosing one.)
The short intro and the starting screen is nice.
For a western european its new that the game options are horizontal and not vertical. First impression at this point was that something is missing.

Impression after 5 minutes:

I read some of the articles in the library. What I found really cool was the option to enlarge some of the pictures. Maybe a print option could be cool, but its not really necessary. I was also recognising a spelling mistake at the Panther data screen. (PzKpw instead of PzKpfw) The manual was also missing, but I think this will be on the todo list. ;)
Than I took a look into the new game screen. Maybe it could be helpfull to put a little more information into the campaign/scenario descriptions. (Most of them are very short.)

Thanks,

Manual is a PDF in your root folder, you can access it through in link in the Windows start-up menu, like the game and the editor.

Hi!

I know that with the manual, but ingame its not working at the moment.

Impressions after 15 minutes:

I started the tutorial and recognised that the game looks very similar to the classic panzer general from SSI. The graphic is much better than per example Commander Europe at War and the sounds are ok. Most of the hints are good for newbies and its easy to find into the game. After winning the first game of the tutorial I had the chance to upgrade my units. As everythings looked fine I gave up the tutorial and decided to start the campaign.

gez.
