Is this game like panzer general?

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

Not the same but very similiar, particularly regarding the fun factor. If you liked PG you will like this one.

There are lots of threads with screen shots. I loved PG and am very pleased with PC. It is an excellent game.

I don't think you'll be disappointed in it. I bet you'll be playing it 15 minutes after downloading as it will just bring back the old PG memories!

PC just takes a lot of the things that were very good about PG and mixes them.

General feel of play like PG and AG, looks of PGIII. And the Heroes from PG3 as well as the special recon movement and the movement/attack system.

A few main differences:
- no automatic elite replacement at end of scenario. You gotta pay for those reinforcements, and boy, does it mess up your budget.
- no entrapment of air units
- Artillery can move and shoot
- Reinforcement and overstrengthing during deployment phase
- New maps
- balanced multiplayer maps

Overall it is a really eclectic mix of the old series, taking what is good, adding a few small things. Keeping the flavor and basic style.

I just love it.

The main difference, and really a big plus, is the excellent PBEM system... Playing against human opponents is great

New maps

correct: somewhat less maps (26 instead of 38)

Also the game is really like PG, with some good changes (railroads etc) and some things from PG2 added. The graphics make a big difference if compared side by side.
