PC Game Review: Panzer Corps Grand Campaign '45 East

[LongBlade]

^That's how we roll  ;D

No doubt. Did someone say "boobs?"

Those are modified sweat glands for producing and storing baby food. Attractive to both men and women as a survival instinct.

I thought they were nature's stress balls.

I write occasional reviews for three different websites (wargamer, armchairgeneral & grogheads).  I will alert people to a review I wrote on one site to the other two (excepting sometimes armchairgeneral which has very little gaming activity on the boards).

Jim Cobb will occasionally do the same thing.

All of us can get really busy and miss stuff.

It's one thing for an author to cross post. I don't love it, but I've never asked anyone to not do it.

It's another for a publisher to go to his competitors and cross post.

[Steelgrave]

^Exactly. And that is a HUGE difference!

[Ubercat]

It's ironic that they just promoted a couple of new Moderators. Why?

[Steelgrave]

Ummm.....because they chased off all the old ones?

[Ubercat]

I mean what do they need new ones for?

I find that I'm now a lot less sympathetic with Slitherine over that BS EA Games pulled over Battlefield Academy. They're teaming up with a guy like Norb Tempko, even indirectly, and when you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas.

I was being a smartass, Uber. Sorry  :)

[Ubercat]

We were both being smartasses, I think. Nevertheless, we both said valid things.

I read the review - and somehow the player was defending Berlin and managed to "win the war" according to the screen shot of the final briefing.

HUH????????????????????

I have not played the '45 download although I have played all of the rest of them.  This does not seem to make any sense.

It's obvious. By successfully holding off the Soviets from entering Berlin the Germans convinced them to return to Moscow. The Western Allies, seeing the Soviets give up, returned to Paris for some well-deserved R&R with the French ladies. The good news is that this version of history saves us all the pain in the ass that was the Cold War and it still preserves complete historical accuracy by fast-forwarding to the 1990 status quo. I suspect a few of us should amend our class lectures, but it's nice to know that all's well that ends well.

[JudgeDredd]

^ Actually - that's not exactly the issue. There is a special unit the Germans can employ - the JudgeDredd - and he persuades the Russkies that the Motherland is more welcoming than the Fatherland...and they leave.

It costs alot - but it's very effective.  :)
