Dont worry, next year, first half, you can enjoy a new napoleonic title... Friedland [:D]
I wait Peninsular war to close my interest in nap series.
Out of this looks like more PzB titles are going to be delayed after release of PzB-NA41 because they want focus in Gold version of west PzC and set ACW titles to the last released standar before start working in PzB4... apart this i remember read months about about update other series in JT catalog (Seven years war looks like the standar for the pre WWI series).
Only way to see a discount in JT shop is or buy the discounted titles (25%) or do a megabuy of 200$ to have a 20% discount (basically buy 5 normal price titles and you have 5th for free).

RE: JTS Battles of North Africa 1941
Yep, to be fair Africa titles in PzC for example are easier to understand because are less "saturate" and there is more open terrain to help focus player attention in the terrain with something special, in demo you can notice this in the Africa scen.
Maybe the only negative thing i find in PzB art is find mines-improve/trench/bunker/pillbox and well another small problem is not see SS in black and army in grey... but is relative easy solve this at least for me and my franken mods hehehe.
Apart this maybe PzB-NA41 could benefict to from round counter mod.

PzB-NA41 is going to be a great add to the serie [&o]

They show the game notes for all Compass scens, they have a map and over it a square to show the combat area for every scen, you have to ability to see the scen briefing + some pics as ambientation to the scens [:)]

The designer notes, documentation ect. that comes with JTS games is always awesome me thinks. +1 on that!
RE: JTS Battles of North Africa 1941
I've played quite a bit of the Panzer Campaigns games and enjoyed them, but have avoided these Panzer Battles games so far...at this scale, I think I prefer the Campaign Series...has anyone played both to compare?
RE: JTS Battles of North Africa 1941
Well, i play both and in the base they are very similar, for me the strong point in Campaign series is in the better modeled armored combat, in PzB is a little obscure and sometimes feels a little random BUT PzB is better in the infantry combat because unit strenght is based in number of soldiers and units suffer casualties in a less abstract mode apart that PzB model fatigue and units lose combat efficiency in a better way for my taste.
In general i find PzB better if you like something more historical because OOBs are very good, for me more inmersive compared with Campaign serie and well i find easier manage formations and keep things under control.
If you want you can try demo you only need create an account in Tiller Shop and download it for free, is a good demo with a nice selection of scens, even come with a scen for the Pacific area as test (used a smaller size of hex, 125m VS 250m) maybe not the most exciting battle but the Hannut scen is a real challenge as German.
May 1940;Belgium - Battle of Hannut 2 scenarios
March 1941;North Africa – Mersa el Brega 4 scenarios
August 1942;Guadalcanal – Tenaru River 2 scenarios
July 1943;Russia – Klyuchi (Getting Started) 1 scenario
August 1943;Russia - Bogodukhov 4 scenarios

RE: JTS Battles of North Africa 1941
Personally I wish they had been given Squad Battles code and added the wanted features etc making it the best turn based tactical wargames by a long way
RE: JTS Battles of North Africa 1941
Is curious but SB was allways the serie i like less from the best know JT titles... only the Ancient games are less intresting for me.
Returning to PzB-NA41 is going to be maybe the wargame i see with more cover to the 1940-early 1941 battles in North Africa... only now east campaign is going to stay in the dark zone [;)]

RE: JTS Battles of North Africa 1941
For me SB has all the features tactical gamers want like every man counted.
My main gripe is the running out of ammo mechanic which quickly turns an MG42 into a pea shooter. Plus no multi level buildings. Add or redo these aspects would get me excited. Third is more detail to armour mechanics.
PBEM if you enjoy that I think the series is easy the best turn based tactical game out there.
Great range of titles aswell.
The games create great narrative for WARs
