Basically a remake of Panzer General. I liked Panzer General.

Which game are you actually talking about?  Do you mean Matrix's Panzer Corps?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Oh, good.  It has a Nazi invasion of the USA scenario.

Slitherine... the makers of Legion... hmm.  I'll wait.

Wow.  It really does look like Panzer General II.  If I have to buy it through Matrix games, pass.  The last to orders I made through them they charged me double.  Had to fight with them both times to get my money back.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Sorry, but no. Hated it.

Seriously considering getting this.  Let us see if my will can hold out a few more days.

Good. We expect a full review and an AAR in no less than 5 days.

Haven't played it much yet.  The game is kind of weird.  I like Beer and Pretzel games as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure what each unit is suppose to represent?  Regiments?  Divisions?  Corps?  Many Missions have a very large scale (like the whole of Germany), but not very many units.  I'm fairly certain the US didn't field divisions of Artillery, and Anti-tank guns.  It doesn't help that none of the units are named.  They are just given generic names like 45th Heavy Weapon Infantry or 63rd Battleship.  Perhaps this was the same with the original Panzer General (I don't recall), and I just knew less about what military units fought where. The library is a silly addition since it only has about a dozen entries for units, all tanks.  Some of the omissions are strange, like North Africa campaigns and the game lacks any desert tiles.  The maps are weird as well, due to the scale and some of the omissions there are strange.  It has Belleville Illinois but not St. Louis  The graphics are pretty, though.  Kind of reminds me of one of the Civ games.

Oh and playing the Overlord Scenario as the Germans the British capture Caen on the first turn. :lol:

Perhaps I'm being a stickler for historical accuracy here, but I thought Operation Husky occurred before Operation Avalanche.
