An example of how tuff the campaigns are.

I played through on the easiest setting {forget the name, there are 5 settings i belive, all based on german ranks}first time through. Lots of prestige points to be had and 99% of all enemy encountered only had 5 strength points instead of the usual 10.

Playing through a second time now, on sergeant difficulty{the next to easiest setting, 99% of units have 10 strength, with some at 15, they are elite units} and i have won all my games, but most were decisive victories, only two were total victories. Its not to last though. I am now having my core group of units destroyed utterly in operation Bagration. Not because of lack of skill on my part or lack of quality units or Prestige Points, but because the Russians have a massive amount of killer new equipment and a powerful airforce. Im going to be gone soon, lol. Just like IRL.

I cant even imagine how tuff the next three settings are. :^&

No doubt this game can be really tough. I started on the 1941-45 Campaign on Colonel (medium)(starts with Barbarossa), but I kept getting stopped short of Moscow, and like three times I was arrested and executed. So I started over on the 1939-45 Campaign (Poland) so I could build a stronger force for the invasion of Russia. I just won a decisive victory at Kiev and am starting the drive toward Moscow. I have twice as many tanks as I did last time I tried and my air force is much more experienced. Those pesky Russians have a ton of fighters. Hopefully, I'll at least keep from being executed and make it to Stalingrad before I'm once again arrested.

Good game, Kent. I thought you were going to run over me for a while. Few things in life are certain, but one of them is that you will always find a way to flame my ass! First turn, first contact, Kent flames my infantry.

Sad and funny at the same time.

Why don't you pick one and let's play another?

GG to you as well. I knew it was over after you halted my attack, but i was holding out for a miracle, which never happened, so i ended it.

I have a feeling most games will end with surrenders because of the PP system. One side will just have to many points and the other isnt going to have any. Not always, but at some point in the game it will happen and it will give on side an advantage over the other, as it should, thats what you earn by taking Victory Flags.

Pat,

You can get Panzer General Forever for free. It's not the same as Panzer Corps, but it'll give you a good idea of how the game works.

Yes Pat, do get PG for free. When you get PC you'll recognize everything & be able to play the game right away.
