Nevertheless, there are some improvements to gameplay, mostly geared towards making the game’s match to history more marriage than engagement. So if how this game and its siblings play is of interest, take a look at Jim Cobb’s review on Moscow 42, another Panzer Campaigns entry. This does not mean stagnation or a lack of innovation ( really? Are you sure? -ED), but rather that the original software design has stood the text of time extremely well and remains a gold (no pun intended) standard as regards porting cardboard counter and hex games to the PC. John Tiller’s campaign system has been around since 1995 Talonsoft time, and although there have been updates and mods from time to time to address technology and subject, the core system is pretty much the same. It is not a discussion of the game engine or game play. Under the Hoodįirst, what this review is not. If you don’t, then consider this $39.95 well spent. They have recently released the Gold version of John Tiller Software's 2005 take on the campaign, and yes, if you have the game by all means update. Which is exactly why I like this and similar WWII campaigns, and fortunately so does Wargame Design Studio. It’s a red haired step kid and just not sexy.
One side is hopelessly outmatched, not to mention its not Eastern Front and there’s not a Koenigstiger sitting on every street corner. The result, of course, was lopsided victory for a newfangled concept called Blitzkrieg, and this has made the 1940 campaign less than popular in wargaming circles. Of course the Maginot Line itself has forever been linked to calamitous defeat, as two entirely different ways of doing business on the battlefield collide to determine whether the old or new is superior. There's a quote that has been forever linked to Minister of War Andre Maginot and the Great Wall of France that bore his name 'Fixed fortifications are a monument to man’s stupidity' (LTG George S Patton, Jr).
