RE: PzC Kharkov '43 Just Released
"i consider it to be more a DLC (downloable content) than a game of it's own because it doesn't have a new map (at least from what i can tell comparing the maps posted in the scenario design center and the official page) and it's price, which i consider it to be too high for what it offers."
I think this is what bothers me the most about this "new game:" from reading the posted manual, it appears that the old K'42 map was tweaked a bit, and for the most part Rick's great OOBs were used - which he developed for his superb K 43 player mod downloadable for free from this site. Really for the most part this is akin to what was done to the original Smolensk Campaign: the map was enhanced, the OOB tweaked and then it became downloadable for free from Glenn's PzC site.
This effort seems like an enhanced module add on for the original K'42; it could have easily been offered as a "patch" for the original; I would have paid some for the enhanced map - but all the other improvements such bunker building, etc. are usually disseminated as free upgrades; and thus far no one has really asked to be paid to download a mod from the online vault. VM's work is a labor of love for the games and he graces us with his stuff for free.
Anyway, I will by future original PzC works by digital download.
Marquo :)
