If any of you remember Panzer General (and I certainly do), there is good news from Slitherine and The Lordz Games Studio.
First appearing in 1994 from Strategic Simulations Inc., Panzer General is credited with bringing strategy gaming to the masses. An accessible game system and riveting gameplay made the series a hit with computer gamers.
Coming in 2011 will be Panzer Corps (see screenshots), a game that at first look appears to be a descendant of the good, old General.
Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios and 21 maps from the European Theater in World War II.
In other news:
- The expansion Field of Glory: Swords and Scimitars (see screenshots below) has been released by Hexwar, Slitherine and Matrix Games. The expansion will offer some 40 battles from ancient to medieval times.
