A must-have, and a welcome entrance into our Hall of Belated Fame.

The bottom line is simple: PGIIISE is definitely one of the best in the 5-Star series, and a must-have for every armchair commander. Superb 3D graphics and sound effects add icing to the cake. The difficulty is well-balanced on both sides: another welcome change from the imbalances of, say, Pacific General. But deploy your troops wisely, and use all your cunning to gain momentum and. In Panzer General you've total control over your entire army of ships, tanks, airplanes, and infantry units. The units are rated in 12 offensive and defensive categories which signify, among other things, their effectiveness against armored targets, firing range, and ammo level. Panzer General is a turn-based strategy game, where you can play through the Second World War either on the side of the Axis or the Allies. Like other PG games, you often have a myriad of air and ground forces at your disposal, comprising hundreds of different unit types that include infantry, tank, anti-tank, reconnaissance, fighter, bomber, artillery, and air defense. For example, should you assign an artillery officer to command a fighter unit, since there are no dedicated fighter commanders left? You will be forced to make choices due to limited leaders. Naturally, this means personnel management plays an even more important role in PGIIISE than other wargames - true to the real world. With enough stars, leaders gain special orders that can be issued in addition to basic orders - not unlike the fantasy heroes of Warlords III. This represents field promotions, but also allows you to 'groom' your leaders at will. experience points) manually amongst your leaders after each battle. In addition, these leaders have different natural skills and abilities that make them suited to one particular type of unit.

In contrast to previous games where each unit gets better with experience, in RPG fashion, the PGIIISE system focuses the experience on the leaders of units rather than the units themselves.

The most dramatic - and welcome - change from the previous PG games is how experience is evaluated and used. This means you can replay the game multiple times to see new branches on the campaign tree. In contrast to previous PG games, PGIII lets you play a strategic role by choosing where to strike next. You can also play custom maps, random maps, or single scenarios. You can command either German or Russian armies in 4 campaigns (1 long and 1 short from each side). This time, the arena is the Eastern Front of World War II. The game continues to use the gorgeous 3D engine that powers Panzer General 3D Assault, but features much-improved AI and better play mechanics. Panzer General III: Scorched Earth is an excellent entry in SSI's Panzer General series.
