Hi POS - Is Panzer Command Kharkov Any Good?

[PoorOldSpike]

Hi mate yes I once did a PC:Kharkov review at another club a while ago but when I went back there to copy the review into Blitz I found I was locked out; guess they want to keep it for themselves ha ha ha..:)
No sweat, I've still got all the screenshots, see below..:)

As to your question, it's not really for me to say whether PCK is "any good" because everybody has their own opinions of games.
All I can say is that personally I much prefer CM because it has an easy smooth-flowing style that PCK doesn't have.
There's far too much of a 'stop-go' feel about PCK that I find uncomfortable because you have to keep micro-tweaking orders all the time, that's fine at first but soon becomes a chore if you're a simplicity-junkie like me..
I finally decided to abandon PCK after I got fed up having to keep scrolling around the map peeking behind tree trunks to see what was lurking there because trees couldn't be fully toggled off.
In fact I liked PCK very much at first, but now the novelty's worn off I'd still rank CM head and shoulders above it..
