Those map graphics look awesome. I hope to heck that they upgrade the Panzer Campaigns games to the same standard.

They will, but it will take time. These graphics are a further step up from the graphics of the mobile PzC titles that were released recently.

Here's a link to the designer's notes and a FAQ that you can look at. Might help in your decision making.

I thought that the map graphics for at least some of the Panzer Campaign title had been upgraded. If you check over at the JTSC website, select a Panzer Campaign title and then go to it's products page there will be some screenshots which will show whether it has the new map graphics or not. I didn't look at all titles but the only one I saw not upgraded was the Tunisia '43 title.

I do hope that they release a map upgrade patch for all titles soon. :P

I've just posted an AAR of one of the scenarios.

Is there going to be a release of SB: Grenada, or is it just the demo?

Well, when I say demo - its pretty much a full game. All functionality and ten scenarios. And free.

Oh man I'm going to have some 'spainin to do the wife about an odd charge to the credit card this weekend.

From the website: A game scale of 1 hex equal to 250 meters, 1 turn equal to 30 minutes, with platoon and section size units.

I'm trying to reconcile in my mind how 250 meter hexes and a 30 minute turn would work together. Weren't the campaign series games like 6 minutes at the same scale?
