A Wargame for Beginners [Posted on 2000-11-04]
This game is very accessible to people who are new to wargames. I'm a hardcore FPS gamer (Quake 3, UT) and have only played one other wargame (Panzer General 2, which I really liked, even though I didn't know what the heck I was doing). I like the "improvements" in PG3DA, and SSI has made it very easy for beginners to jump right into scenarios or campaigns. If you've never played a wargame, this is the game you should check out. I liked it so much, I bought PG3: Scorched Earth.
A lot of fun [Posted on 2000-12-28]
I've come straight to this game from the original Panzer General, on the original Playstation. I loved it then, and love this newer version of the game. The main appeal of this game is it is easy to learn and fun to play, and doesn't take months to complete one scenario (although the campaign games may, if you have a life outside of the computer). The units, while toy-Axis-&-Allies-like, are still fun to watch. It's pretty cool to watch a German tank rumble cross-country on the advance. The only complaint I have about this game is that it is sometimes difficult to find units in cities. A highlight feature that "lights up" a unit in a city when the mouse cursor touches it would have been helpful. However, this is a very small complaint, since once you forget about a unit in a city, it's the last time and you learn what to look for to see your troops. I've been wargaming, board and computer, for near twenty years now, and I think this title has appeal for newbies and veterans alike. Buy it if you like turn-based wargames.

I'd love it if it worked..... [Posted on 2004-07-20]
If I could get this game to work on either of my two systems, then I thik that I'd love it. The graphics are clean and easy to watch. But the game stops in mid scenario on my XP machine (did not think it would work perfectly there, since it's not rated for XP), but I cannot even get into the game on my W98 laptop, I can assign the commanders to the units, but then cannot get to the game map to play the game. Well, I still have that old W95 machine that I have not used in a while. It might just be worth it to try it there.....
Unplayable [Posted on 2007-02-04]
The many bugs in this game make it unplayable. I have been a PG fan for many years and have ultimately settled on PG 3 Scorched Earth, which has far less problems that 3-D Assault. I just wish someone would produce a newer turn-based strategy game that compares to the PG series.
