This review is from: Panzer General (Video Game)

Panzer General is one of the war games released by SSI in the mid 90's based on those hex mapped games you may have seen people playing in the 80's. I had an uncle into those earlier table top games, and I could NEVER figure out just what he was doing.
Panzer General is the computerized version of that, and with its intuitive interface and easy to understand controls, this game is untold hours of fun and stratagem.
I have played it over and again, from different starting points, and you never play the same game twice even if you come back and fo it all over again. This is not only fun war gaming (Think Advanced Wars without the cartoon character commanders) but it is infinitely replayable.
I thought this one had been lost to the advance of OS - as in it doesnt play well in XP, or Vista, but I found a little program to create a better dosbox, and with it, this game has found new life in my house. If you want to try it out, you can get it here:

I would HIGHLY suggest, if you havent tried this one out, do it. Panzer General is a MUST play game for strategy fans.

I pull this out every year and play it again. It uses the correct historical cities and army logistics and has an easy playing style. I love having battles and seeing the outcome. Its a great game for geeks.
