I missed this thread first time around but I do want to take the opportunity to record my appreciation of this fine series.
IMHO the PzC is the most enjoyable, stimulating and challenging wargame series for PBEM going around. And quite possibly the most fun you can legally have while sitting in front of a computer screen
Things I really like about the series :
1. The maps. Being a map fanatic I love the detailed maps. The map of Sicily for example is awesome. I have been known to spend an indecent amount of time just looking over the detail on that map--almost as much fun as playing the game.
2. The balance of play options presented to the player with numerous strategic, operational and tactical decisions to make.
3. The generous provision of regular updates for all games in the series. The older games are continuously improved.
4. The stability of the game system. In years of gameplay I cannot recall a single CTD. The only regular bug I have noticed is the sound loop bug but this is easily fixed by saving and re-starting the game.
5. The realistic depiction of terrain and it effects on movement and combat.
6. The detailed and accurate OOBs.
7. The easy to use interface--especially helpful are the unit visibilty and movement range buttons ( the absence of the latter in the HPS Napoleonic Wars series is sorely missed !)
8. Realistic command and control.
9. Air power and supplies are well modelled.
10. The readily updatable and accessible game manual.
11. Volcano Man's great mods.
Gee on re-reading this I guess it does give the impression that I rather like this series.....:rolleyes:
