I was digging through my older collections in my closet and I found this, and again, I know I did'nt finish it at the time I bought it!! So I hooked up my older computer and gave it another try, boy, did it bring gack the memories!!!
Panzer General games were a life-saver for me, they were fun and challanging at the time, something from WW II that I could play around with besides building models and painting them up. I'm still a little rusty on the gameplay, I have already reloaded many times to get a "perfect" game, but I hav'nt found it yet. I'm on the therd battle for the U.S. side in Africa. It is really fun to play with the prestige, as well as the experience cap to get the most out of your units. You know you just have to start over when your favorite unit gets killed, after nursing it along, feeding it some of the weaker units that it kills to gain that one more extra star.

My planes seem to be the ones that take the most hits and gets killed off, so I have to start over again, the German air is just to strong sometimes, compared to other units.
