Do any of you play Panzer Corps on multiple monitors?

PC : Turn based WW2 goodness in the mold of Panzer General. This promises to be a true classic!

Do any of you play Panzer Corps on multiple monitors?

Post by flakfernrohr »

Hello, I was wondering if any of you are playing or have played Panzer Corps on more than one computer monitor. Some people have multiple monitors set up for gaming and other uses, and I wondered how it looked and played on a setup like that. Any experiences that anyone can tell about amongst you?
Old Timer Panzer General fan. Maybe a Volksturm soldier now. Did they let Volksturm drive Panzers?

It's an aproximation (it's a screen shot of PzC spread out over 2 monitors but obviously wouldn't show the frame of the monitors which had to be photoshopped in.

Doing so in response to your post was the first time I tried and it works, albeit it takes forever to actually drag the window bigger (ie 30cm of mouse movement only dragged the window 1 cm bigger, weird).

However I wouldn't actually choose to play the game like this as 1 monitor is plenty big enough for me and I like leaving the other monitor free to watch a DVD.

Thanks for your answer boredatwork. I am curious about your eyes though. Do you have them trained to look both ways independently like Marty Feldman used to do? I've never managed to do that. I can multitask, but not like that. :shock:

Not sure id find this useful, since you can really only see as far ahead as your units can spot.

I use DVDs more for the sound - I've seen most of them enough times that I can picture what is going on while I focus on the other monitor then just switch my attention to the DVD for the really good bits.

For an east/west battle it's value might be limited, however for a north/south battle it might be cool to see the entire front at once.
