I haven't posted any gaming updates after I finished the 2023 NALB season. Since then I've been playing Panzer Corps Gold, a World War II wargame clearly inspired by Panzer General. Released in 1994, Panzer General was the first of SSI's 5 Star General Series. I absolutely loved it. Although Panzer Corps came out in 2011, it is amazing how similar it feels. They are both turn-based strategy wargames focused on the German side of WWII. If you have played any of the 5 Star General Series, you will feel right at home with Panzer Corps. The game mechanics, unit types, graphics, and sound all feel reassuringly familiar.

Right now, I am in the middle of the Grand Campaign 1939-1945. I am on my 8th operation, which is to take Stalingrad. Operation Sea Lion (invasion of Britain) and Moscow 1941 were close calls. I captured the objectives on my very last turn.

1. Poland

2. Low Countries

3. France

4. Sea Lion

5. Barbarossa

6. Kiev

7. Moscow

8. Stalingrad

I will provide an update in November, hopefully when I have completed the campaign.
