What's happened to the Panzer Command series?

Panzer Command: Ostfront is the latest in a new series of 3D turn-based tactical wargames which include single battles, multi-battle operations and full war campaigns with realistic units, tactics and terrain and an informative and practical interface. Including a full Map Editor, 60+ Scenarios, 10 Campaigns and a very long list of improvements, this is the ultimate Panzer Command release for the Eastern Front!

What's happened to the Panzer Command series?

Post by aaatoysandmore »

It's forum is buried in the dustbin of all the games here and there's no activity by any of the publishers or devs.

Didn't you say there would be a Panzer Command: West Front game? I'm anxious to see a better game of it than CMx2 (Combat Mission 2). I've always appreciated the ai in Panzer Command over the Combat Mission one. Erik? Iain? Anyone?

I have no inside knowledge, but from the posts in the forum seems like the team that worked on the game are fond of the project and would like to continue to improve it. I guess the holdup would be higher up the food chain, maybe it didn't sell well and its just going to be left to die on the vine, a shame really.

No news to report at this time, but personally if we can do it right, another Panzer Command release would be great.

I think the best way is to keep this thread on the front page and at the top. Erik and Iain will get tired of seeing it and make a Panzer Command: D-Day just to get rid of it. [:D]

I'll be the second developer to put a comment in here. We have been waiting for the support needed to continue the series.

Not sure how much of the team we could put back together at this point in time though.

I would be interested in seeing another title or two in the series, for what it's worth. A 39-41 and 42-45 or a West and North African Front. Plus a Far East instalment.

I really think something like this should be doable.

The ai and the abilty to have random campaigns like SPWAW. You can take a group all the way thru the war. I don't know about Achtung but CMx2 you can't do that. Plus, even the scenarios you get random units and placement areas whereas CMx2 has to be edited or player made to get something different.

a new panzer command with destructible buildings! its a damn fine game and thats probably my only request, so really take this game engine as is and go west ala Panthers in the Shadows, 1944 Across the Rhine.

one must ask what is more likely to occur first or ever? Combined Arms ever seeing the light of day, or a new iteration of Panzer Command?
