Panzer Corps from Matrix/Slitherine is a remake of a classic SSI game, Panzer General, which itself was a remake of their original Panzer Grenadier. I’ve spent too many hours on both. I played a lot of Panzer Grenadier on the old Commodore 64 in the mid-80’s.

Graviteam Tactics is a completely different beast from last nights war game. Much more difficult.

Ultimate General: Civil War is a game with which much of my time has been spent. UG:CW is still in early release, but it’s probably the best early release I’ve ever seen. This is a new major battle from the January update. I didn’t have much problem playing this as the Union, not like Fredericksburg, but then, I knew about Jackson on the left.
