I love the SSI Panzer general games of old. Can I get pointed to the right direction as to which Matrix Games are most similar to those games?

Commander Europe At War and Operation Barbarossa are my guesses. Commander Europe at War is on a strategic scale, whereas Operation Barbarossa is more operational and therefore more like Panzer General

Keep an eye out for the upcoming 'Panzer Corps' as well. Matrix/Slitherene are billing that as the 'spiritual successor' to PzG.

I wonder why I think we may soon see some spam from xripcurrent?

I know - but I've decided to not treat anyone as a spammer unless I see them spam - kind of innocent until proven guilty. I believe Terminus takes the other view...

That depends really - on whether they still take that step back from Panzer general that C:EAW took...aircraft "occupying" a hex so you couldn't move ground units into a hex with an air unit or vice versa...that killed it for me (and the naval warfare aspect)

Nothing wrong with that at all, probably a good road to take. It does seem though that you can often tell from a persons first (or early posts) what they may have in mind. Somehow the sincere new posters just seem to post a somewhat different type of question or information.

Ok, I'll take you on your word. Welcome to the forum, many good games from Matrix and it's one of the better forums to participate on. Good luck finding what you are looking for. Battlefield Academy looks like it may be of interest to you as well.

Nothing personal. Just too many 'sleeper' commie.. erm, spammers emerging on these boards at the mo; folks are getting paranoid.

I quite liked Operation Barbarossa...C:EaW not so much...it had some short comings plus I wasn't overly keen on the scale.

Good luck
