the concept seems very similar to totally perfect general. i wonder if that one is already abandoned....

TPG2 has interesting feature where artilery bombs the roads so that enemy units can't move efficiently enough through terrain. plus sound is much better. no need to make

Let's face it. If you're a human male, you've probably played with army men at one point in your life (hopefully when you were young).
Hmmm, speak for yourself ducky!

Are you still playing with them Paulypoos :D

I only had a few of these little guys myself, but some of my friends had hundreds and hundreds... I had my C64, way cooler!

Being a Hun myself (or Kraut that is, for our transatlantic friends) and then too young to understand that those earth-coloured guys only wanted to liberate my greys (and the Germans having much cooler uniforms anyway) I always played the grey guys of course.

Actually the guys in khaki with the upside down soup plate on their head were much tougher than the guys in olive - don't know why. Maybe due to lack of air support.
Because - and that was the funny thing - whenever the brown guys started to win, two Messerschmidts appeared out of the blue and totally overwhelmed the enemy and destroyed the single Spitfire that unfortunately had to land to refuel right before the completely unexpected attack. They never had a chance, especially when my mum called for lunch.

I lost interest in the whole thing shortly before landing troops in Washington because my grandfather finally made me realize that war was not that much fun on either side.

However, I stopped realizing that when Panzer General was published. And I did invade Washington after all.

So the author of the review was right and I also liked his pro and con list for the unpatient reader.
