Are there any wargames that are not Panzer General?

Panzer Corps. Tank Battle 1940-something. Panzer Tactics HD.

Is it my imagination, or are all these games just clones of Panzer General? Which I played to death in 1995 and enjoyed every minute of it. But I have no wish to go back to it over and over again.

Has wargaming become so sterile that multiple publishers are copying a 20-year-old game? Where is the clever design in just updating the graphics of a game that once ran on DOS?

Whenever someone mentions a new game, the first thing I look for is whether it sounds like Panzer General. In fact,  I would be grateful if people would mention in their subject line or first paragraph whether the game is a Panzer General clone.

Command: Modern Air/Naval Ops ;)

Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm comes to mind. No Panzer General there.  O0

We'll know we're in trouble when someone releases Panzer General - World War Z.

Or Cthulu General.

actually I can see that as something that might be interesting but more in a Strategic Command wrapper.

command ops and flashpoint come to mind as not being PG clones.

and I'm still holding out for Road to Moscow.

I believe you do have some free time on your plate after canceling Fleshpoint Campaigns.

And yes, I'm still chagrined. It sounded awesome.

I don't think this is exactly what you are thinking of, but I would be very interested in playing a national command  / strategic game fighting to save civilization and its valuable women bacon women and bacon against a growing zombie apocalypse.

Why not rebrand to Fleshpoint Campaigns: Zed Storm. Zombies and tanks. How could we not make millions.

Many non-PG clones at Matrix. (And a few that are. Including an outright port and update of the original PG with expansions. But still, tons that aren't.)
