few questions from a new player

[DerDree]

Hi there

I am really looking forward to the release tomorrow and I am really exited about it. But I also have some questions and I hope I can ask them in here:

1. Where best to buy the game? I found it on the Slitherine-Page but also on Matrix Games i think. Is there Paypalsupport in the Slitherine-Store?

2. Is there any daytime known when the game will be released on monday?

3. How exactly will multiplayer and PBEM work? I havnt found much about it until now, so some links would be great.

4. I must admit that i never played Panzer General that much (was too young at this time). So are there some Links with tutorials and tactics wich also will work with panzer corps? I would like to prepare a bit^^

I hope this questions are not too silly and thanks a lot in advance

And as for tutorial and tactics, once you get your hands on the game, the in game tutorial will be great to help get you started.

Welcome!

1) From what I gather, it doesn't matter, they are the same now. Matrix is more US and Slitherine more Europe.
There's paypal support.

2) At afternoon in Europe and morning in US.

4) You can also take a look to the manual:

There is no difference Slitherine and Matrix are merged and one and the same company, using Plimus online shop technlogy. Paypal is supported, at least on the digital download. Same game on both as well.

2. Is there any daytime known when the game will be released on monday?

Tomorrow afternoon (14.00h-15.00h) European GMT timezone.

4. I must admit that i never played Panzer General that much (was too young at this time). So are there some Links with tutorials and tactics wich also will work with panzer corps? I would like to prepare a bit^^

Try the online manual and look at some AAR here:

Ok thank you all very much

Tomorrow afternoon (14.00h-15.00h) European GMT timezone.

I'm GMT -4 (I think... or is -5) so a late lunch just to make sure should do it.
This is just like 24Dec when I was a kid many moons ago.

So on the US West coast the release will be between 7 and 8. GMT -7

That is great.

Hmm, it seems I'll have to wait till the 12th here in Australia, unless i'm much mistaken (and i hope i am) . A small price to pay for living in the lucky country.

Just as Matrix Games has set the standard for the RIGHT way to sell a game, I think Slitherine has set the standard for the RIGHT way to do a multiplayer process.

Strategic Command was one of the most likeable wargames right up to the point it was revealed how even a brain damaged chimp could figure out how to cheat. Never seen the popularity of a very popular wargame die faster than what happened to Strategic Command. And to their lack of credit they did nothing to change a damn thing about that in SC2, and all you got were eye killing horrible graphics to boot.

I look forward to this title completely dominating the wargame scene, because complicated doesn't make a game better. But something that makes multiplayer the only logical choice will. And the process in use with Slitherine/Matrix Games should ideally become the industry standard.
