I know I have my anniversary coupon so I might use it on this.

Just wondering General version or Basic?

Sorry but Field Marshall is too rich for my budget right now.

I quite like the skins that come with the General edition, if cosmetic DLC is your thing -- there's lots of great historical camo selections that look awesome.  The only other in-game thing you get for the extra $10 is 4 scenarios -- I'm not sure which ones came with the upgrade, and I haven't played them yet, but they seem worthwhile -- for example, a full-scale invasion of Poland map, and a Defense of Berlin level that includes randomized waves of enemies.

^Those bits come with the Field Marshall version?

They come with both upgrade versions.  The only extra bonus you get with Field Marshal is future DLC, I believe.  Edited my comment to clarify  :-"

$29.49 for the General Edition with my anniversary coupon!!! That's less than ordering pizza for the fam and I'll enjoy it a helluva lot longer. Thank you Matrix/Slitherine   :bd:

Thanks Al

So I started with Barbarossa 41 in the north. Is it me being the shittiest Panzer General Panzer Corps player ever, or is the campaign insanely fucking difficult? I'm on the second battle and I'm supposed to cap 11 victory hexes - including downtown Leningrad - with the exact same force I barely took the six victory hexes in the Baltics with. And I'm playing on the easiest difficulty.

I don't remember the original PC being anywhere near this difficult.

^ I've only tried the campaign starting in 1939, and so far I've definitely found requisition points to be scarcer than PC1.  Nothing too crazy yet, but will weigh in once I've reached 1941 and beyond.

I'm a little over 30.00 on the General. So I'm thinking I might go for it. It is payday tomorrow.

Picked it up, couldn't resist. Field Marshall Ed.

Lovely game. The details on the units are wonderful to play with, sounds are great, and yes the campaign seems to be extremely engaging. My perspective goes back to Panzer General, which I still  play on occasion. Couldn't be happier with the purchase and, already, can't wait for more.

I think the developers bit off more than they can chew with this, but I hope the game can get some love. It has a ton of promise.

Unfortunately, I am beyond 2hrs of gameplay and cannot refund, or I would. This game is not ready for a release.


-'Online' Multiplayer (new MP feature) doesn't work - results with a crash to desktop whenever players stop playing 'online' and go to PBEM.
-Random Battle Generator - cannot select opponent faction
-MP content is extremely low - game was advertised with 'cooperative' capability but only has 2 scenarios. One of which (Husky) is insanely difficult and not enjoyable.
and a bunch of other stuff that nobody cares about

Wanted to try this but have read in a number of posts that GPU gets pegged near 100% a lot......not a big fan of games that make the GPU run that hot, especially this game where graphics are far less than others.

I lost patience with it earlier thankfully so got my refund.

Not a fan of the UI and some of the mechanics just didn't do it for me.

The UI is annoying.

Gameplay mechanics are lost on me, thusfar. Units seem to have their max force set at 15 now instead of 10 and the combat is somewhat more complicated - units don't die very easily and the AI will reinforce the heck out of stuff, so basically I'm fighting fully reinforced units every turn while my force slowly dwindles and I lose prestige.
