Does anyone know when the Mac-Version could be expected?

We haven't started working on one yet I'm afraid.

That does not sound promising

It is on our to-do list, porting will take time though, it is not something done in a few weeks. Think of many months... so we need to find a time-frame that will not interfere with support and the continuous development of this series, while doing a MAC porting.

If you have Mac OSX 10.6 or above you can use BootCamp and install windows 7 and play the game.

If you have OSX 10.5 or below then use Parallels Desktop or VM Ware Fusion to install windows,although with this
emulation you might experience some "slowness" with games.

But perhaps you already knew that ...

Thanks for that advice, but that won´t work on my 2006 Macbook with Intel GMA 950. I am planning to buy a new Macbook Pro at the end of the year an I hope that it will have enough power.

something newsworthy?

I'm running in Boot Camp on a Spring '11 Macbook Pro and the game runs great on it. I'm counting the minutes until a native Mac port is available, though (And, yes, I am so impressed by the game that I plan to purchase it again in that format... unless I can talk Matrix Games into honoring both formats on the same original purchase

I'm currently running Panzer Corps on my Macbook Pro too, but would love to be able to run this natively (even via Cider or something similar) under OS X - hell, I'd even pay for it, even though I've already paid for the Windows version, though would be nice to at least get a discount off the Mac version. Anyone, just posting here to add my voice and to say Mac users *are* interested in a port that will run under OS X.

I made this inquiry about a week ago. I was hoping for a Mac release in time for Christmas.

Slitherine put up a post that said forget about Christmas. (Which is cool. I'd rather have them give me a realistic time frame, rather than jerk us around).

Molve and I locked horns on Boot Camp and Parallels vs. Mac, and Molve hinted at Slitherine never even releasing a Mac port.

But all Slitherine (and now GameLordz) posts that I have seen have said that they are working on the Mac port.

So I doubt very much that we Mac users have to worry about never seeing a Mac version. I think it's just a matter of when.

Perhaps Spring will come bearing Panzers.

Molve (me, that is) wanted only you to realize you could be in for a very long wait. I don't want to deny you a native Mac version -

just that until it's done, it's... not.

And during all that time the PC version will lie unplayed...

Im happy to hold off buying till a mac version is eventually released. In the mean time i'll get my beer'n'pretzel strat fix from CeaW GS2.

How about an approximate publication date? Please don´t hold us out any longer.
