Read quite positively, and I'd certainly take a shot if I was up for WWII strategy. Only problem being I love Advance Wars and would inevitably go back to it instead.

Seen this in the shops for weeks, picked it up a couple of times... Nice to see someone produce a review at last. Might bite when it drops in price.

Interesting review, the DS version seems to share all the strengths and the faults of the PC version, which I enjoyed playing but found too easy and was similarly frustrated by the predictable AI and lack of "what if" scenarios. Have to say that 5/10 seems harsh, I would rate the PC version at 7 or 8.

Anyone know where I can find Panzer Tactics? Was it ever released in Europe?

The History Channel changed it's name!?

I thought it was UK History that had changed to Yesterday, not the History Channel

This ambitious oddity I can only really recommend to folk who read Anthony Beevor, know the Maginot Line wasn't a railway, and sighed when they heard the History Channel had changed its name to Yesterday.

That'd be me. WTF is with "Yesterday" and yes it was UK History not History Channel or the WW2 Channel as it should be called.

Surprised you guys reviewed this. Had my eye on it but still enjoying Panzer tactics. Maybe when the price drops.

History Channel has virtually no WW2 stuff on it now, after they launched Military Channel.

I picked this up on pc and, while it was fun to go back to a turn based, hex game (which have sadly fallen right out of favour unless you trawl through SSG's back catalogue), it's far, far too simple to be given the title of 'grand strategy' in my opinion. It's very, very basic indeed.

Wow. It's good to read a review by Tim Stone again. I haven't bothered with the ever-thinner and expensive PC Gamer in years. I hope this isn't the last time he appears around these parts.

I would like to see something like Jagged Alliance on a hand held.

@tomkuryakin: videogamesplus.ca (in Canada) has Panzer Tactics DS, shows euro prices, and ships to Europe at a decent rate.

'A badger at the helm of a Premier League football club'

Arsène Wenger? Benitez is perhaps more like a beaver...

Why could they not just port the old "X General" series and put it on one cart instead? Panzer General, Fantasy General...

On it's way. Released this summer IIRC.

I recon I'd like this a lot. I loved me some Advance Wars (played heaps of the original, then Black Hole Rising and Days of Ruin) but I'd like to get stuck into something a bit more 'real world'..
