Just an old timer with PzC's observations. The game is even more fun to me now than it was all those years ago. Is Smolensk really like 20 years old? However I liked the infantry fire attack sounds of yore better than the new ones. But the other sounds are fine. The graphics...well especially the map graphics to me are much much better. The game is beautiful...even prettier than Grigsby's War in the East but thats my opinion. I have posted here in various places a few times that and in a few emails that I still believe PzC to be the best "Pure" wargamer's wargame on the computer. I have played a few other series and the guys are doing a good enough job with some of the other games, but for someone like me who has been a board gamer since the '70's, PzC fits the bill.
Hi Jim. Mayoroviskiy or Breakout Group Zhuravlev is fun. I've played it once and made an AAR about it. I thought it was slightly pro German but I guess I didn't play well enough as the Russian. In fact I guess with two evenly matched players it could go either way.
Well Smolensk is pretty old. I think if anyone is interested in Panzer Campaigns and its history should pull up a chair and open up the Changes.txt or Changelog and have a good read! Maybe grab a nice drink. Dark rum for me.
When you introduced me to Panzer Campaigns 20 years ago I'm sure it was Smolensk you showed me how to play.
I agree 100% with everything you said about why we keep coming back to PzC. The scope of the maps and the OOB detail can not be beaten! Open up any campaign game of Stalnigrad 42 and you are instantly blown away!
Ian still in 'bonnie Dundee'.
