The transition from the tabletop to the computer screen hasn’t always been easy. Some war games eschew everything that makes tabletop great. Others stick too close to the formula, forgetting why they’d move in the first place. One game that strikes a good balance is Panzer Corps, a game with a fantastic lineage of innovation and change. The Origins: Panzer General Panzer Corps owes a great deal of its history to Panzer General, a mid-90s war game that placed players in charge of a WWII General. The player had the options of playing as a general for either the Allies or Axis in the skirmish mode, but was cast in the role of a German general in the campaign. This 1994 game took a novel approach to strategy games, both by hewing much more closely to the table top experience and by pushing forward certain mechanics that could only be used on a PC. A huge hit among strategy fans, it helped to spawn a more tactically-focused genre that persists to this day. https://litrpgreads.com/blog/panzer-corps-review
