Hi POS - Is Panzer Command Kharkov Any Good?

[falco]

Hi POS,

Your Green Light Tourney is a great read. Well done.

A while ago I seemed to remember that you might be doing a review of Panzer Command: Kharkov for the Blitz. Are you still do one? Is PC:K any good? Still playing CM:BB but PC:K might be a good break at times.

Yep....PCK is a great game. There are a small but growing band of us for whom it has superceded CM as the no.1 WW2 tactical simulator. There are aspects of the game that still need improvement (two that come to mind are the infantry modelling and non-destructable buildings) but these are going to be dealt with in future patches.

And as POS points out the developers actually talk to players at the matrix forums and take on board a lot of suggestions (a welcome change from the combative attitude shown by the folks over at Battlefront).

A few major advances over CM that come to mind - No more 'borg' spotting - only the units with a direct LOS to the enemy can actually see it. A much faster PBEM system. A choice between platoon-level orders or CM-type individual unit orders. Improved graphics. A very very good campaign system where individual units can aquire medals, experience etc.
