Mark & I are about halfway through our second game in PC and its going about how i expected it to go. Back and forth.

We each started out on the opposite side of a valley with victory flags strew in cities across the central part of the map running north to south along a river line. I've got the top of the map, he's got the bottom, and im entrenched in the middle and thats currently where the dogfight is now.

Im Germans and Mark is the Brits. Its late war. Its a brutal slugfest between Regiments of M-10's, Firefly's, Cromwell's and few other Brit toys vrs my Jagdtigers, Jagdpanthers, Elephants & Panthers. It sounds lopsided but mark has a large airforce where i dont. Although i did spook him for a few turns with a handful of ME-262's, LOL.

He has had me on the ropes a couple of times but he has run low on ammo and had to pull back and resupply, and or i managed to beat him back. Could be anyones game.

Looking forward to more turns in the meat grinder.....

There is a Three Moves Ahead pod cast on the game:

I haven't listened to this one, but a couple others on other games (CM & SM Alpha Centauri) were well worth the time.

An upcoming demo has been announced:

http://matrixgames.com/news/852/Panz...Demo.Announced!

"The demo includes 6 missions from the Bootcamp Campaign, plus the invasion of Poland and the first few turns of the Norway scenario. The transition between the first two scenarios of the main campaign allows you to upgrade your army between scenarios and get a feel for how units improve and gain experience as they travel from battle to battle. Also packaged with the demo is a limited version of Panzer Corps’ powerful scenario editor so modders can try their hand at the near limitless possibilities for making new scenarios and campaigns!"

After about...what is it Mark? Five or six games now. I have been humiliated in each one.

Im having a bit of trouble comming to grips with the assignment of points each turn that are used to repair/upgrade/buy new units. Everything always starts off fine and i usually end up losing a victory hex or two {which is inevitable in this game}and then the unending slide starts. Ill go from having enough points to buy two expensive units or fix everything i have, to barely being able to repair anything over the course of 3 or 4 turns. Once you reach that state, its hopeless as you cant defend or counter-attack properly because you cant replace your losses.

Dont get me wrong, this is a great game. Im just not used to its ins & outs yet. Im normally able to pick systems up fairly quickly. I have no problem with this in the Vrs. PC mode. I guess i have to put in more losses to figure it out. I just hope Mark has the patience for me, LOL.

FYI - Mark i started another one, same PW

Kent, are you using veteran replacements? Because in the MP games, the units are almost all 0 experience to start, so I only use the cheap replacements and use the extra points to buy new units.

Looks as if it won't be that easy, unfortunately.

I'll be out of town until Saturday.
