Panzer Campaigns : version Gold pour Moscow ’42, Kharkov ’42 et Minsk ’44

En bref. Depuis la fin du mois dernier WDS continue son blitz sur les mises à jour des titres de la série Panzer Campaigns sur le thème du front de l’est. Quasi la moitié de ces vénérables wargames initialement paru chez HPS puis ressortis au fil des ans chez JTS sont donc désormais en version Gold, le reste devant probablement suivre rapidement au rythme où vont ces patchs.

Vous trouverez une description complète ainsi que différentes captures d’écrans illustrant les changements, sommes toutes similaires pour chacun de ces titres, soit chez John Tiller Software, soit sur le blog des développeurs.

Communiqué

Panzer Campaigns Minsk ’44 Gold Released!

As promised, we continue to roll out the Eastern Front Gold releases. Minsk ’44 Gold is the 5th of 11 titles planned for update in this round.

In my opinion Minsk ’44 has been one of the most under rated games in the Panzer Campaign series. For once, the German superiority is severely challenged with the heavy Soviet armour and copious infantry challenging the German defences. The terrain is also challenging, with the swamp, heavily forested locales limiting the advance routes.

Like Smolensk ’41, Stalingrad ’42, Moscow ’42 & Kharkov ‘42 Gold releases, the new Gold version of Minsk ’44 includes the following updates and upgrades;

The game code will now be standardized on the JTS codebase. There will be no further support for the HPS version

All new ‘complete’ game map

All new 2D & 3D map graphics

All new unit graphics and counters on map

All new unit cards

All new in game sounds; weapon, explosion, background and miscellaneous

All released Volcano Man scenarios

A brand new Campaign game by Brian Jennings. Scenario #0623_02_Minsk_CG_Alt is a completely revised campaign game including strategy options and larger forces for both sides. A broader partisan war is also included.

New ‘modern’ toolbar icons

Code update – disruption no longer halves movement during the day and is reduced by one third at night.

Code update – reinforcement ‘place all’ has been migrated across from the First World War Campaign series.

Brian’s new Campaign Scenario (#0623_02_Minsk_CG_Alt) has used significant new information that has become available over the last couple of years. This information was not available when the original Minsk ’44 campaigns were designed. This scenario will be a real delight for prior players of Minsk ’44 as the availability of many units has changed and is a worthy addition for the Gold update.
