Panzer Command Reloaded!

In the last years, I've been pretty sad. The reason is the lack of new turn-based military strategy games able to keep me tied up to my computer as Panzer General 2 did, but I guess those times won't ever come back. Well, that's life - evolution doesn't really means you're going in the right direction. Anyway, finding out that one of those few good turn-based military strategy series remaining on the market, namely Panzer Command, got a major new release, is always good news, and today I must share this with you.

Panzer Command Kharkov

Earlier today, Matrix Games and Koios Works announced the release of Panzer Command: Kharkov, a game in which you have the chance to step back to early May, 1942, when both German and Soviet armies prepared major offensives aiming the same place - Kharkov.Panzer Command: Kharkov comes with a Random Battle Generator and a Random Campaign Generator, apart from the historical missions. According to David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, "Panzer Command: Kharkov sets a new benchmark for our series of 3D tactical wargames and we're very proud of the exciting new features and the historical content we've built into this release. This is really a major leap beyond the original Winter Storm release!"

The feature list of Panzer Command: Kharkov is very long, and I won't give it to you here. What you need to know is the price of this game - $39.99 US for the digital download and $49.99 US for a boxed copy with a printed manual, and the location of the official Panzer Command site. These being said and done, I will leave you rewrite history now...
