norvandave Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Looks like Matrix has ripped off Combat Mission with their new Panzer Command. Style, look, interface looks VERY familiar! Battlefront better pick up the pace on CMx2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtweasle Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Maybe, but how many can you play at one time? I'm all for a healthy computer wargame market, but one wonders; Is there a market for recordings of Elvis imitators? Even with Elvis dead, (he is dead John, isn't he? ), you can still buy actual Elvis CDs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Before this gets locked anyway: Panzer command is an entirely different game. It is a campaign-oriented game which does look like CM while you resolve the tactical battles. But the mechanics and play style are entirely different and tuned towards campaign gaming. So don't be fooled by the similarity of screenshots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Interesting, yes, but don't treat it as a Combat Mission replacement/pause filler. That would serve neither game nor the player any good [ June 20, 2006, 08:31 PM: Message edited by: Redwolf ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I personally wouldn't mind seeing a few well-or-badly done CM rip-offs on the market. There's certainly more than enough heavily scripted first person shooters going around... and around... and around. To see something that isn't a FPS - especially something like CM-style gameplay in more venues would be a positive relief! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipanderson Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi, As it turns out Panzer Command is a very fine game. It is different from CMBB… but along with CM it is the best tactical wargame out there. In my view . On other forums, Matrix to name one, I constantly refer to CM as the greatest wargame of all time so I hope the powers that be will in return tolerate my quick plug for PzC here. If you are a fan of CM, and open-minded, then you are likely to also enjoy PzC. But each to there own . I too, of course, am near desperate for CMX2… but a few months to go on that one… will be fun though. All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
