Does Panzer General work on XP/Home OS?

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

Volko Ruhnke took a lot of ideas from Twilight Struggle.  But the two do play quite differently from each other despite their similarities.

Thanks Private Panic. I just did that.

I apologize if this is spammy. I know a lot of you A&A players like my game Quartermaster General enough so I felt like it was newsworthy beyond just self-promotion. I can’t post links so you can find out more on our site, grigglinggames.com or on BGG.

There is also a licensed French Version being crowdfunded; I am licensing the game to Asyncron.

thank you

Hi all

I’ve always been a bit of a lurker, but have posted house rules and scenarios in the past. I admit it’s been a while since I’ve posted here (and I clear my cookies so I don’t show up online very often, even if I’m enjoying a discussion….) I quit my day job and started a game company. I’m an old time fan of Axis and Allies and I’ve designed a game that I think will appeal to A&A fans. It’s called Quartermaster General, and its a fast paced game about WWII, and it will release at Gen Con.

It doesn’t seem that I can post links, so I’ll just tell you to google:
“Quartermaster General Game”

Tank Meeples!

thanks
Ian

@ezto:

RO is great, I just think that dod is better.

Agreed then!  :-D

Yeah, the thing about “commanders” in PzIII confuses me a bit. :( But yeah, that German campaign is a tough one, epsecially if you have your IPC take on 50 per town.

Does anybody still play these games?? These games are good. Rules a little outdated but still work. Does anybody have any interesting ideas or scenarios for these games?? Know a good websites for them. Anybody ever hear of these 2??
