Tiller Panzer Battles Demo

Post by Yogi the Great »

Saw this on the Tiller Store Site today

Panzer Battles Demo
Default Title

$0.00 USD

The Panzer Battles Demo is an introduction to the Panzer Battles franchise. This Demo is intended to showcase the diversity of situations the game system can handle. This is a Free Demo, but a serial number is required to operate it.

Squad Battles is the game series for me out of PB, SB and PC. SB is about to gameplay features from a tactical mini masterpiece..a shame John doesn't let someone have a crack at the source code.

I wish you could have the HQ unit name from the NATO icon set in the default icon set.

None of the help files open from the Help menu option. I have to open the PDF files manually. Is this true for others, or did my install screw up?!

By the way, what an excellent game!

Shoot, I don't know what to do then, other than a reinstall.

What version of Windows are you running?

Using Win 7 here and I installed the help file viewer but it did not fix it. [:(] I manually open the PDF's but I wish I could just click and have it done like it is supposed to do.

I played the getting started scenario and it works well. Being a small scenario on a limited map, it could use another zoom level. I got killed like usual

I like the top down images [;)]

I really like this series,  haven't tried the demo but I will say I have not fired up any of his Panzer Campaigns since the release of the Battle series....be warned though,forget Campaign tactics.

Skimming through the Notes pdf it seems the AI is only programmed to play the Allies in all the scenarios.

I just can't get on with the Tiller game engine. It's in desperate need of a revamp but this demo doesn't seem to be it. I much prefer the UI in WITW and WITE.

Still, it's free and it does contain quite a few scenarios.

Is it just me or do any of you get "This site can’t be reached... www.johntillersoftware.com took too long to respond." Maybe they are afraid of North Koreans downloading the game and have blocked South Korea by accident.

EDIT: The same happened yesterday as well.
