...here is what some people are saying about Panzer Campaigns

Per-Olof (from Sweden) says:
I have played the PzC system by constantly for years now and I am still a great fan. Big or small scenario?! If you havn't tried these games you will miss one the best wargame experiences of your life. I have played a lot of boardgames during the years, and Panzer Campaigns are outstanding IMHO.

Thomas Marshall says:
I was a bit late getting into PC Wargames. But once I did, you and John Tiller have given me some of the best wargaming in thirty years. Your diligent development, playtesting, and ongoing support has increased my enjoyment of these games a thousand-fold.....at not one penny cost to me.

Bas "De Ruyter" Kreuger
"... the PzC series are so good, or better, so well balanced between realism and fun AND good looking (for a wargame, that is, I hate the TOAW graphics), that it is almost the only sort of games I have been playing for the last year now. This is very good for my wallet as well, I've only bought the three PzC games and (almost) stopped buying other (war)games. The average cost of playing computer games has thus sank to something like a guilder for every 20 hours of gaming(~ US $ 0.75 per 20 hours)! And that has been different in the past I can tell you!"

George Gorman
"The three Panzer Campaigns games are the best commercial wargames I have ever seen and I've have been in the hobby for almost forty years. I am a naval academy graduate with ten years wartime service in the Marine Corps and my father was on the destroyer USS Baldwin one of the ships depicted in the Normandy '44."

Tony Lewis
"I've been a board gamer since my first copies of AH "Stalingrad" and "Tactics II" back in the early 70s and since that have pushed more cardboard than a card dealer in Vegas. I've been a computer wargamer since I bought my first Apple II for college term paper writing. I bought Smolensk '41 when it first came out. I ordered Normandy '44 while still deployed in Kosovo and ran it on an old POS lap-top in my hut. I've played all the Panzer Campaigns Games quite extensively and enjoy them all. The AI is quite the challenge and the continued support has proven very nice! The earliest games continually get better! Please pass my warmest regards and thanks to the whole PzC team. "

Bob Mayer, Editor of Computer Games Online
"John Tiller's Panzer Campaigns series is the best collection of operational-level wargames available for the PC. The games are attractive, entertaining, and historically solid, while the game system is accessible enough for mainstream gamers and detailed enough for serious wargaming fans."

Robert Fox
"I'm a new customer but a long time wargamer who enjoys detail in his wargames. I really enjoy the two Panzer Campaigns games that I own (PzC 1: Smolensk '41 and PzC 3:Kharkov '42 and I do plan on buying PzC 2:Normandy '44 soon.) and I appreciate the way you guys listen to your customers. The level of detail and care that you put into your games is rare, but I want you to know that it has not gone unnoticed. I've also been a fan of Talonsoft's East Front and West Front games, and I know that some of the developers for that series now work for HPS. It's fantastic that that talent is being put to good use!"

Jim Cobb, Freelance writer
"Panzer Campaigns makes serious military history accessible. Players deal with logistics and command, not just clashes of arms. The series is a triumph of scholarship and Programming."

Jack Nazor
"I find the HPS series to be the most forward thinking of the operational games out there. ... I wholeheartedly stand by all of the HPS Simulations so far and will continue to do so. ... I have been a wargamer for 38 years now and have never been so satisfied with a game system as this John Tiller et al and you too Glenn, for sure. You are to be commended."

Scott Udell, Former strategy/wargames editor with Computer Games Magazine/Computer Games Online
"With the Panzer Campaigns John Tiller has taken his excellent work with tactical level gaming and brought it into the operational scale. The games are solid, massive, and a lot of fun for any fan of 'traditional'style wargaming. Not to be missed!"

John Heidle
"There are many smaller scenarios included in the games. ... They have an incredible number of options. ... And the games are incredibly well supported (Smolensk is now on version 1.06). ... I would recommend trying this series out for any computer wargamer."

Bruce Geryk, Wargaming columnist, Computer Gaming World Magazine
"John Tiller's Panzer Campaigns series shows how a design can retain the elegance of a good boardgame while taking full advantage of all the improvements made possible by the computer medium."

Bob Jervis
"HPS have set a high standard with their research, using original archival material and military-grade maps to bring an unparalleled degree of authenticity to the game. The time and care that has gone into this effort really shows."

Simon Fritzlan
"This series embodies the playability of earlier games with the unrivaled HPS attention to detail. The games are very playable, although some will test even the hardest grognard with their size and attention to detail. For my two cents they are the best mix of grand tactical and operational warfare of World War II."

Rich Holland
"Great job Glenn! HPS, John Tiller and people like you have given me the best products and post purchase support I have seen in my 30 plus years of wargaming. Best of luck for the PzC Series and all your future endeavors."
