I just picked this game up for iPad and am looking forward to playing this weekend. This is obviously a premature question, but would I be correct in assuming that since the title of this game is Vietnam '65, can we eventually expect to see Vietnam '66, '67, '68, etc., kind of like how we saw Panzer...

I'm glad you thought so. I bought the game, and I'm constantly being asked to rate the app, so I thought I would do so here.

There really is no comparison between Frontline and Panzer General/Panzer Corps. Ultimately, Frontline is a soul-less, half-baked, buggy Panzer Corps wannabe. I am not saying the game is totally unplayable, or non-enjoyable, but it leaves a lot to be desired. I have played Frontline extensively on i...

True, but you have to look at replacement/repair costs for the weaker German armor units. When you are up against an IS-1 or IS-2, a Marder III, or a Hetzer, or a Pz III or IV are going to get mauled. Replacing those losses costs prestige. Tigers, and Tiger IIs have more survivability. They cost mo...

I am against handicapping the game to shut off a player's ability to create the kind of core he/she wants. Exactly my point :) Im also against this but at the moment find creating a core I want impossible. I cant play the game using weaker units as I cant have more of them to balance my force. The ...

1 tiger is probably more like one of the schwere Panzerabteilungen. so bataillon size. at least that scale makes sense for most maps I guess. But that is pure speculation on your part. The devs of this game (or Panzer General for that matter) never gave any indication as to the unit scale. That's j...

I think when you play a historical war game, you oughta learn something, including something about the constraints that commanders faced at the time. Some of these constraints are already modeled in the game, others aren't. The constraint that is not modeled that causes the most griping is the fact...

I am against handicapping the game to shut off a player's ability to create the kind of core he/she wants. Exactly my point :) Im against this too, dont want anything that turns people away from playing this game. However, it was be nice now with the new options sections to be able to click a limit...

The only realistic way would be making the good units very very expensive. Historically the army would have used only the best stuff, always. It only used other stuff because it was cheap, available and easy to get. A commander couldn't just ask for the best stuff always, on the other hand a presti...

I've enjoyed the PzC series immensely so far, but I think the designers really missed it with Allied Corps. My experience has been similar to Zhivago's: By the time I got to D-Day, I usually had cores with Crocodiles, and maybe one or two Sherman Fireflies, but I also had the US M-18 Hellcat, which...

To be honest: No thanks. After "World of Prototypes... err tanks" I don't need another game that is full of tanks there were never built and never going to be built. I need no Panther II that was canceled and would never have existed, and surely no E100s or Indien Panzers or T57 or whatev...

As I said in another thread, it would have been nice if the allies could have put the Sherman Firefly gun on the Croc (or even Churchill) chassis. Then you would have a formidable tank. They actually tried to do just that, but the development was very slow because they practically had to re-design ...

Kevin, I agree with you on the availability, I was a bit surprised to find the Sherman unavailable for Second Alamein, when they were first used. And the Churchill is overpowered at this stage, it may not have much firepower but it is very tough. I presume you know about the El Alamein 'Kingforce',...

Sounds like there will be no Pacific Corps (judging by the arrangement of icons on the opening screen there is space for one more icon (the Red Star) below the Allied (west) icon. Well THAT would be the easiest problem to solve. But I guess you're right. It's probably the last main campaign. Maybe ...

Soviet Corps is, to me at least, a logic last episode on the current engine and series and to be frank after Allied it itches to start soon, but we have so much work, but let us do one step a time. Today Allied Corps is the star, you will enjoy it for sure, and The Russians will get their proper at...

British. {snip} I hope to find more Commonwealth troops in there. The "minor" nations are usually very neglected, despite the fact that the commonwealth nations contributed a lot. {more snipped} Playing Afrika Korps, I have been struck by the preponderance of commonwealth troops. It took ...

I started with the Brits, and I love it so far :) Could not stop till I had won Crete on Fieldmarshall. (Coming from someone who never liked to play the Allies in the old game :) ) no "Triumph" yet, working on that Btw: I got an SE Spitfire Mk V after Crete, but, regardless of how often I...

Well the American forces should be a little "green" in comparison. After all the war entry was late and the main combat in european mainland started fro them at a time when british and german and other involved nations had been fighting for years already. So it would be unrealistic for US...

Anfield wrote:Nice, thanks for the reply. Yeah guessing those green Alllied troops eat through that prestige rather fast early in the war too.

You'll be thankful for the extra helpings of prestige when you hit Sicily. Trust me.

Will of course start from the beginning, so 1940 it is. Will try to have a balanced British/American force eventually, with a larger American presence as time goes by. That can be tricky. Once you get to the time the Americans come into the game, you already have some pretty seasoned UK forces. I b...
