As far along as games may ever go, there will always remain a part of me that thinks of PL and PB (in that order) as what games look, feel, and play like.

Thanks very much for these.

Best,

I am uploading the PL situation conversions at a rate of two scenarios per week (more or less), as among other things I am running each scenario through the automated test script Berto's made available. So it takes a while.

But what better way to run down the clock towards the 2016 release of MCS 3.0, where all these scenarios will be available within the game itself.

And who knows, with the new Zoomed-In 2D view available, all going well there just might be a Panzer Leader Counter Art mod available to play them in a proper manner.



Are these "conversions" simply from the old Game Depot format to some new Blitz format, or are the individual scenarios updated to 2.02?

A counter art mod would be great!

These are for most part the very same Game Depot files that have become unavailable, but with a twist they are tested to run with 2.02. Some of them have been tweaked upon by Alan though, to take advantage for the new OOBs in the later versions of the game.

Regarding a counter art mod, well, I have asked around for permissions to use certain graphics to come up with a PB / PL Counter art mod for 3.0. So far so good, maybe come autumn I can make a post showing something concrete

For now though, "Middle East" is the priority. Hence, I have struggled a bit to keep the steady flow of these scenarios being uploaded, but hopefully I can catch up again soon.

And this concludes the conversion of all the 20 original Panzer Leader situations by Alan R. Arvold. I have modified the thred title accordingly.

I hope you enjoy playing these classics. They might not be all that balanced, but painstakingly accurate conversions they are!

My thanks to Alan for sharing his work with community

Next step for Panzer Leader situations: France 1940! Stay tuned!
