Description
Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm is a 3D simultaneous turn based strategy game where you command either the Soviet or German forces during the desperate attempt to reach the encircled German 6th Army at Stalingrad. Each side has detailed 3D units of all the historical vehicles and units, from tanks to riflemen. Two campaigns (one German, one Soviet) tie the scenarios together, allowing core units to progress from battle to battle, gaining experience and medals. Another great element is a point system which allows players to “purchase” additional units for each mission in the campaign as well as replace losses, forcing decisions on management of resources.
Features
- A modern DirectX 9 engine with realistic 3D graphics, including normal maps, lighting, particles and shadows.
- Historical gameplay that is accessible and fun to the novice wargamer.
- A 3D simultaneous execution game where positions, defenses, and sighting is calculated every millisecond of the 40 second phase.
- Terrain is modeled down to the 1 meter level and the movement and combat engine includes physics modeling.
- Panzer Command features a full campaign system for a 3D war game, allowing units to gain experience, take damage, be repaired and reinforced.
- Different doctrines of war specific to one side that may change strategies based on which side you play.
