Sembra una versione fantasy di Panzer Corps e probabilmente ne condivide l'engine (fatto dai Lordz)

Pike and Shot su Slitherine

Sul sito Slitherine è stata paerta una pagina per Pike and Shot, una sorta di versone '600 di Panzer Corps. Ovviamente la grafica non sembra il massimo, ma è piacevole vedere una volta tanto un periodo storico trascurato nei wargames e le features sembrano buone.

• Accurate simulation of battle in the 16th and 17th century Age of Pike and Shot.
• Unique graphic style based on 17th century styles and battle paintings.

About Panzer Corps

Panzer Corps is a brand new turn-based strategy game that reinvents a classic genre. Produced and developed by a team of experts and brought to perfection by a community of hundreds of fans, the game has evolved over 2 years to become what can be defined as a modern classic.

Set in World War II, Panzer Corps puts the player in charge of Axis armies, taking their core force with them through the entire war. The use of combined-arms tactics requires each general to make use of the strengths and exploit the weaknesses of their opponents.

Its multiplayer mode, an improved version of Slitherine’s award winning PBEM++ system, allows players to easily find opponents anywhere in the world and enjoy playing them with none of the hassle.

Panzer Corps is designed to replicate the feeling of a classic wargame, but brings it up to 21st century standards and to a whole new generation of gamers.

Review di Panzer Corps Grand Campaign '44 East

Su TheWargamer c'è una review di questa dlc per Panzer Corps

Rilasciata nuova DLC per Panzer Corps Grand Campaign '45 East

E' stato annunciato il rilascio dell'ultima DLC per Panzer Corps, il successore spirituale di Panzer General. La DLC si concentra sulle fasi finali della guerra ad est.

Io non ho preso Panzer Corps, essenzialmente perchè non lo considero un vero wargame ma piuttosto un buon compromesso tra strategia e semplicità, ma io odio le cose semplici :)
