Favorite Titles

[Strela]

Some good detail here, although, as I suspected, the posts aren't helping me narrow things down. Virtually all of the titles that have been mentioned have been on my "short list" at one time or another.

Some follow up questions for previous posters:

-Do the weather conditions significantly impede movement in Stalingrad or Budapest? I have Kharkov 43, and it took me a while to adjust to the limitations snow imposes (especially on foot units).

-Landser, what was it about Korsun that you found so impressive? My sense has always been that it, along with Normandy, are among the more controversial titles.

My 5c re. Korsun.

Korsun could be an amazing PzC game. Unfortunately the stock game is very ahistoric, particularly when it comes to the number of German tanks. This results in the pocket rarely, if ever forming.

I attempted to fix the OB & overall situation with new versions of the campaign which come with Volcano man's alt scenarios. This was my introduction to modding/building Tiller games. The other major change I made was to bring this back from a platoon level game to a company level as per the other PzC's. There were just too many fiddly half track platoons etc that added little to the overall game.

The new campaigns that were created do work, but were polarising as I included more bunkers than the original title which people though was too much (there is a non bunker variant). This was in the main due to the change in German numbers and trying to keep everything to a more historical timeline. If you want to see how that worked in game have a look at this AAR

It's one of the mods I want to go back and revisit as now with three published games behind me I think I could do it better again. This is all based on the fascinating situation where both sides are attacking and defending.

Finally, Korsun is a perfect candidate for a Panzer Battles title - we have absolutely everything we need to do that today....
