Does anyone have this game? I saw it in passing, cheap since its older and bought it. I can't get the bugger to run though.

any good

Good

I wasn't impressed with Panzer General 3D Assault but the Eastern Front follow up, PG3: Scorched Earth has had much better reviews.

The first one wasn't bad, the basic mechanics are the same. There's actually just one major change: in P3, all units take up a slot regardless of the rank of the leader.

i've got scorched earth. but i keep getting error messages when i try and run it. still working on it

I prefered Pacific General - bit more variety and also the Far East doesn't seem to have that many games on it. Pacific War and Rising Sun are the only ones that spring to mind.

Makeo,

What kind of error messages and what OS?

Standup,

I am waiting SSI to do an updated Pacific General. That seems to be the logical sequeal, but I am not sure if they are going to do it.

I guess my cd is ****ed. I installed the no cd crack and it works now.

Russian Tanks rule the Battlefield :=)
Russian Fighters uhmm not exactly

Well nice game I like it better than PG:WA

Russian fighters aren't that great, but when you can field 5 squadrons of them, you kick arse.

jep, great game. played it thru once 2 years ago.

Main_Brain: all I have to say to you is that: German Tanks rule the battle field.

Urban Ranger · November 2, 2002, 10:03

Not really, but the 88mm Flak as AA rules.

TheStinger · November 6, 2002, 09:37

I liked it

Even though tanks are impressive, relying solely on them get you nowhere fast. You must use combined arms tactics.

I dunno this 'Blitz'ABility seems overpowered to me,
trying currently to win by using Tanks(/w Blitz) 'n Arty
works as far as I tried (4Missions).
Of course it works even better combined with Pioneers...

Urban Ranger · November 7, 2002, 23:12

That's Engineers.

"Blitz" is pretty good, but the uses are somewhat limited. You need to force an enemy unit to retrict with a tank unit, and it takes an action. So it's pretty balanced with, say, 'Tactician."
