Achtung panzers! Forward to battle. [Posted on 2004-12-05]
I have been playing this game for about 5 years now and still do enjoy it. It gives a realistic feeling to the battles on the eastern front from a strategic point of view.
The only problems I had was the Rostov scenario was not operational. In the scenario builder versions, the Russians seem to run out of steam as to quality fighting units as they are destroyed by the Germans. This was not the case in real life. The T-34's just kept on coming. I also wish that the player had more control over what weaponsry he could choose from in the scenario builder much like in PGII. This is a dated review. I would hope that SSI would update and make a new game.

ALMOST PERFECT [Posted on 2006-12-29]
I like this game because it fixed the big problems of its predecessor PG3D Assault. Firstly, it only costs 1 slot for any unit regardless of experience level. This means I no longer have to put up with ridiculous 3 to 1 or even 5 to 1 odds.

Secondly, the crashes when I ambush the computer are gone.

The units also are better animated than before. Now, you see things like tanks traversing their turrets towards their targets to fire.

However, this game creates new headaches. I don't like the numerous exit-this-many-units-off-the-map-by-8turns or you lose scenarios. They are unrealistic. I don't know of any real WW2 battle where something like this had to be done. The time table for these operations are also way too short.

This game is also stingier than PG3D Assault in giving out promotions and extra roster slots.

This game is definitely superior to PG3D Assault.

Also, I wish it had more hypothetical US/Allies vs. Communists battles.

Damaged Disk [Posted on 2007-01-09]
The seller claimed that this disk worked but it looks like it was run through a washing machine. I was unable to run it so I can't give a review. I suggest you buy it new and save yourself some time and consider the extra money well spent.

Took a lot of getting used to [Posted on 2007-02-19]
By now, the General game engine is getting old and dry, but that doesn't mean I don't still enjoy it. Panzer General III takes this game engine to an entirely new level. Being able to hire and promote leaders to give units a certain attribute boost is a great addition to an already satisfying game. I can't give a full 5 stars on this one, though, because the same game engine is being used that SSI has used for all of it's previous General titles. I happen to like that game engine, but this one also took a lot more getting used to. The learning curve, even for someone who has already mastered most of the previous titles, was quite steep.

If you like military, choose this one! [Posted on 2007-06-08]
It's not a typical online WWII or shooting game, but the one that you play with computer enemy. It has turns limit, and you can control several units including tank, infantry, artillery, fighter, etc. The scene is 3D, but I recommend Panzer General 2 more. Because in PG2 there are at least 5 countries, however in PG3 you can only choose Soviet Union or Germany.
