Quick and Dirty on PG2
PG2 is a turn based game at roughly battalion/regiment level. No unit stacking. Each unit is modeled relatively historically in that a '39 German Inf unit does not have the same ratings as a '44 unit would. This would reflect the improved anti-tank capabilities, etc of the later units. This holds true for tanks and oplanes as well wrt different ratings.
I have always played campaigns but there are scenarios based on historical battles that can be played. But the real fun is the longest german campaign you can find. [;)] imho
You start with a mixed arms core force (around 7-8 units?) and this core force stays with you during the campaign from one battle to the next. The units gain experience which improves its abilites in combat. Depending on how well you do on each scenario, an amount of prestige points were given which allows you to add units to your core force. At the beginning you probably wouldn't have any aircraft but by the time you invade France you had to have a few.
So the campaign continued through the war from one battle to another, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Finland, Norway, etc...
Its really a lot of fun and the folks making this are dedicated to the mission in a big way. It is a testament to the PG series that after, what, 20 yrs people still play a version of PG in one form or another. [&o] I still play a free version of PG2 called Open PG. PG has been on my hard drive of many PCs over the years.
