Great game k:

Man i remember playing this game on my 386 in 95... those were the times...
:guns:

I remember playing a demo of Panzer 3... and it was a little bit too advanced for me, but we'll see with this one. Hopefully it'll be easy enough for a dumbass like me with a short attention span.

I love the PG series!!
But I am having trouble running this one... any ideas?

I repost!!
It opens up and I see a command line interface (Dos like, but there is no dos in XP) and a bunch of configure lines.... anyone else?

Work fine on my Xp with sound (it deyrcyrd i havr soundblaster I series and the settings for it ). But can u only play the axis side on cmapigen mode?? I don't wanna play the god damn nazis.

Errr problem with it. I'm running the dos box and I see a mouse icon on a black screen, which I can move. However it fades and is replaced by nothing. Any ideas?

the random thing of this game makes me mad
they say sth like losses attackers2 defenders5
and I lose normally more than usuall or all of my division
this game hates me :Tom:
but it runs quite good with xp (only the mouse is really slow)
just sth from my site :bye:

I played this one very often, so i might be able to help.

In this game, there is no opportunity to play the allies in campaign mode. This was made possible in the sequel, Allied General. But apart from having to play the Germans Panzer General is by far better then Allied General. In AG, missions are shorter and smaller which makes them less fun and more difficult. In fact I almost always managed to conquer Washington in PG, but in AG I never got any further than Italy. Besides AG is not as playable(?) as PG.
And for that random thing: It is most probable that you were caught by rugged defence. The huge readme.txt of the original game said that this means that your enemy lets you come quiet close and then opens fire suprisingly. This can only be done by entrenched units, most probably infantry or antitank units in cities or forrests. To avoid this, you can either dig them out by artillery or bombardement from the air or by attacking with engineers for they never suffer from "rugged defence".

Hope i could help you.

P.s.: Btw is PG 3 abandonware yet?

I almost forgot two things:
1) Take care of the units with the black numbers. They are your core units, meaning that they will stay wwith you through the hole war, as long as they don't die. You thererfore should not let this happen.
2)I am a lucky owner of the original game, including the "huge" readme.txt. Is there a way I can send it here? I mean, if it is of any interest (don't know if its in the download anyway)
