A new title has been released, _Panzer Corps_, from Slitherine.

It seems to be a _Panzer General_ (SSI) clone, so if you miss that old title, you will probably like Panzer Corps. 🙂

I bought a digital download last night, and played two scenarios.

It’s kind of funny, as I was just wondering why more PzGen titles hadn’t been published in a while, and voila! Too bad I wasn’t wishing for a winning lottery number…

**sqquuuueeeeeeeeeeee!!!**

(That’s a manly squeal of joy, if you couldn’t tell.)

I tried to go back and play PG a few years ago, but doing so meant messing with Vista and DOSBox, etc., and I couldn’t get it to work right.

And it even has _Allied General_, which is one of the hardest strategy games I’ve ever played. I remember going back to it after a few years away spent playing much more complex games like TOAW, thinking “oh, this is child’s play, I wonder how much easier this will be now that I’m not 15.” Needless to say, I got rolled by the AI. The Russian campaign is near impossible if you want to do better than your historical counterparts, and even British campaign is damn difficult.  
Thank you!

And mine, I never played the original Panzer General back in the day but still have the Panzer General III: Scorched Earth disk. I’m loving the World War One campaigns in PG Forever. Thanks for the link.
