Although there are still no real 3D elevations, there's a much higher detail level on the game maps. Whatever.Įven though the units haven't been improved in terms of appearance, the game map looks a lot better. It would also be nice if you could see more than six units at a time in the toolbars within the missions.

The pop-up windows that describe your units and leaders are also a little friendlier than they were in the previous game but it would still be much nicer to see the abilities of all of your units and leaders at a glance. In all the auto-deploy feature tends to separate units too much for my tastes, but I'm a concentration person. The auto-deploy feature removes the need to place each of your units before a battle. There are a few more changes to the game that make things a little easier. And remember how all the units looked the same in PG3D? Well now the overhead map lets you see a unit's equipment class as well. Fighters, anti-tank units and air-defense units must act to screen your other more offensive units. Then once your artillery and bomber units diminish enemy resistance, your tanks and infantry can move in. You've got recon units that you must used to spot enemy units. Tanks, infantry and artillery must be used appropriately or you'll be wasting your units and putting your leaders at risk. It's not so much the appearance of the units, which isn't all that much improved, that's so refreshing but more the sense of different unit abilities.
There are over a hundred impressive new units in the game. The second biggest strength of the game is the unit design itself. These points can be awarded to your leader to allow them to take more actions during a turn. You also get promotion points to spend depending on how well you do in the individual missions. They are then eligible to obtain new general bonuses that apply to all units under their command regardless of type. As each leader is involved in combat, he has the chance to receive special equipment specific bonuses. That way they can take advantage of several special abilities. Any leader can control any type of unit, but you'll do better to assign leaders to the equipment class they specialize in. Each leader specializes in a particular equipment class. You begin the game with a pool of leaders that grows as the game progresses.
Each completed mission branches off into several other missions, each of which has its own branches.įollowing on the success of its predecessor, PGIII maintains the same sense of leader management. This new map feature allows you to pick and choose your own path through each campaign. There's also a new strategic map for each campaign. The leaders and units that you use persist from mission to mission within the campaigns allowing for a greater sense of progression and unity within the campaigns. You can play either of the two Russian generals (Zhukov and Konev) or the German generals Guderian and Manstein. The four campaigns allow you to recreate the battles waged as the German and Soviet armies marched against both Berlin and Moscow. But enough with the general stuff already. Each unit and leader has unique strengths and weaknesses and you'll need to develop the separate units within your army into an effective fighting force. At the most basic level, Panzer General is about capturing and defending cities (although there are a few seek and destroy and breakout missions).
You take command of a pool of leaders and units and must use them to wage a land war against your enemies. For those of you who aren't familiar with the series, Panzer General is a turn-based, platoon level game set during the Second World War.
