Howdy again Grognards,

I am really enjoying Panzer Corps and Order of Battle WWII immensely. I have been a PG/AG/PacGen/PG2 gamer since the original SSI series and I love what you have done to keep those games alive and moving forward.

But please please pleas - bring back another old favorite and give it new life! I'm talking about Sierra's Civil War Generals II - it was the best Civil War game / engine I ever found and I still love it and still play it! (Found patches that enables it to work on Windows 7 - I will keep it forever as long as fans keep it working on new Win/OS platforms). It could use some minor game engine updates and some major UI updates, but overall if you were to give it new life in a reincarnated form, please keep most of the original gameplay as is - it was nearly perfect!

I would only consider adding a more user interactive form of the campaign play in between battles, with Rail as an element, and moving troops from one battlefield to the next, and a more Core Army centric feature (Civil War Gen II had something of a core unit feature but it didn't always keep the same units through the battles - I would like to see a campaign feature where you could choose to be the commander of the Army of the Potomac, or the Army of Northern Virginia, etc, and keep your Core with additional support brigades and divisions as appropriate for certain campaign battles).

Please, oh please, oh pleeeeeeeeeez!!!

Did I say Please?

Happy Gamer,

A couple of years ago I bought a new boxed edition complete with printed manual of this game ($40), but never played it. Always heard what a great game it is... Since then got win10, don't know if I'll ever get to use it..

game works on windows 10, just needs some extra files for the 64bit version to run

No flies on you! Thanks for the tip...

I started to mod Panzer Corps to the ACW.. but I'm incredibly lazy.

Actually that looks pretty good...!

So? Any news on ACW Panzer Corps???

I'm still incredibly lazy.

Back in 2013 I released a full Civil War mod for Steel Panthers:World War II, after years of work, and it barely made a splash whatsoever. I'd love to see this game brought to reflect ACW combat but if there's no interest beyond mine, I'm not gonna bother.

Well, I'm very very interested in such a mod.
I'd make one myself, but I don't have enough unit icons that are suitable for the period...

Link please???

Oddly enough, the download link still works!

For modding purposes, I'm very limited as to what I can do with the guts of the game, but I can do art all day.

this maybe of interest to some of you, while it's online only and not my cup of tea (as it's online only and multiplayer etc), the place and action sure is
War of Rights is a first person multiplayer game with a focus on historical authenticity set during the perilous days of the American Civil War, in the Maryland Campaign of September, 1862.

and it's on steam EA atm for those who wish to visit and look and maybe enjoy it's development, i've been following it's progress for a while now.

Thank You! Downloaded. I'll try your mod when the time permits.
