What JTS PzC title to choose for beginner ?

[Steel God]

Hi everybody, 

I'm a 25 years old french lover of strategics games who wants to go deeply into wargames. I'm new to the universe of JTS games and i want to discover the Panzer Campaings games, but I realised that there is a lot of titles in this serie. 

Any recomandation for beginner ? 

My preferences would be the following:

-WWII title (with a preference on eastern campaign, but opened to some great others battlefields)
-Good representation of German OOB (yes i like germans)
-Good amount of scenarios and campaigns
-the most tactical/strategic (that allows some maneuver/trap and challenge skill)

Thx in advance ;)

If you like the Germans at their prime, and the East Front as a theater then go with the original Smolensk 41, the first title in the series.  After 20 odd years it’s still my favorite East Front title.  Great sweeping fluid mobile operations and desperate defenses.  Grand stuff.
