This is the evolution of Panzer General and it delivers everything and more I could hope for from it.

Been waiting for this indeed but 40 bucks for a game of this type I don't know.

Oh wow this looks good. I hope they bring the price down a little, but the screenshots/features are awesome.

I searched for any other Panzer Corps threads, but only this one came up, so allow me:

WOW.  This game is like crack cocaine...I can't stop although it keeps beating me down!  A very polished wargame, quality...quality gamemaking at it's best.  It's half off until December 6th, and the demo is generous in divulging the feel of the game.  The game is selling for $20 via download.

The sound effects in particular are very satisfying and the graphics, IMHO, are impeccable.  Haven't tried the MP yet, but I'm very excited about getting around to it.

Oh geez.  I think my dad would love this.  I think this may be a christmas gift for him.

I love the look of the game and i know i would love it!

But matrix games ripped me off with Distant worlds, im still waiting for my replacment cd-key to be sent to me from years ago
 ( i know now it never will ), no one at support ever answered my tickets and the 3rd party company they use to distribute the keys is just as pants.

Ive found Matrix to be out of touch with thier games pricing also, it feels like they take advantage of the fact that most of the games they release are so niche that the gamers will pay anything.

Half price is still very tempting....geez dilemma

Oh ill try the demo

Actually...

Panzer II, Panzer III(Early Variant), Panzer III(Late Variant), Panzer IV(Early Infantry Fighting), Panzer IV (later anti-tank variant), then the Tiger I, Panther and Tiger II

You can tell the Panzer III and IV by the Roadwheels, Panzer III has six, and Panzer IV has eight.

Also, game looks interesting but yeah still a bit too much to consider buying.
