"The first Beta`s will be for a small select group, but we will add more and more testers along the way. This week the application and registration procedure will start. You need an account at our publisher Slitherine, so for those who want to participate register at Slitherine."

They posted that on Facebook.

Outstanding. I have been looking forward to the release of this game. I really enjoyed the entire 5 star series and loved the original Panzer General series. I have tried many games since then but never found them to be as fun and compelling as PG. None as much of a perfect balance of simplicity, battlefield strategy and fun. I have very high hopes for Panzer Corps.

I have submitted my application for the testing team and of course hope to be chosen to be one of the lucky few. I am an active beta tester for Eagle Dynamics and have been with them for over 4 years. We are currently testing A-10C for final release. Prior to this I also participated on the Black Shark and Flaming Cliffs 2 beta teams. I am hopeful that this experience although in a different genre, will be seen as a positive when making your choices for the testing team. I am familiar with and currently use the Mantis bug tracker for reporting bugs for ED on the A-10C project.

Congratulations again and best of luck on this project.

Signed up.

Of all the beta tests I've been in, this one has me the most excited. I hope I get in, but what I REALLY hope is that it becomes a meaningful beta, not just 'Ohh here's a preview to play early and for free'. If there are serious issues brought up in the beta, and these issues make it to live despite strong feedback and suggestions... we'll I just hope that isn't the case here.

Personally, I'm most interested in the multiplayer aspects. As awesome as an update to Panzer General will undoubtedly be, games these days typically need strong multiplayer systems to not only survive, but to grow and thrive long after release.

Just ask beta testers from our other games if we react to feedback - I'm sure they'll let you know! Without them our games would not be half as good as they are.

Good to hear, the last thing I would like to see is a "closed minded" dev team.
