Hi All,
Sorry for the slower blog traffic of late – it doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy!!!
We would like to update you on a range of projects over the next couple of weeks. This week’s blog will cover off the Panzer Campaigns series of games, the next post will update you on Panzer Battles and the final one will include a significant announcement.
We have been working with John Tiller Software to relaunch the Panzer Campaigns series of games. Currently there are 21 games released to date with 11 covering the Eastern Front, 5 on the Western Front and 5 in the Mediterranean/North Africa. The full list in release order is below;

As can be seen, the series to date have covered many of the iconic battles from World War 2 and represent 13 years of released games from John Tiller during the period of 1999 to 2012.
Though very well loved for the breadth of scenarios and depth of research, the games are in dire need of an update. With that in mind we’re looking to release the ‘Gold Series’ for Panzer Campaigns.
It’s intended that the Gold Series will include the following;
- The latest patches bringing all games up to the same standard
- All new map 2D & 3D graphics
- All new unit graphics and counters on map
- All new unit cards
- All new in game sounds; weapon, explosion, background, miscellaneous
- All expansion pack scenarios (Smolensk ’41)
- All Volcano Man scenarios
- New scenarios
- Map updates
- Possibly some UI enhancements (not committed to at this point)
We’re yet to determine how these will come to market but I expect there to be a full version for sale via John Tiller’s site with possible broader distribution. We’re also looking at how to distribute the new games to existing owners, either via patch or as a complete new installation. For simplicity, we would prefer the later but need to discuss the mechanics with JTS.
Currently, we have been focused on completing the Eastern Front games first. Seven of the eleven are done and work on the eighth is about to commence. The focus will swing to the other theatres after that. We have focused on theatres as it’s quicker to reuse graphics across associated titles.
Here are some screenshots;
Smolensk ’41 will include an enhanced map. The original map was very plain with few named locations and missing features. One of our designers is upgrading the existing map with much more details. I expect this detail for Smolensk will end up in the related map sections of Moscow ’42 and Minsk ‘44

And here is a 2D maximum zoomed in section of the map;
The winter graphics have also been enhanced. Here is the 2D mid zoom level at Stalingrad;
And at the maximum 2D zoom;
Using the two prior pictures as examples, new graphical icons are now included to replace the default NATO symbols if preferred. 2D mid zoom level;
And again, at maximum 2D zoom;
A lot of work has gone into revamping the 3D graphics. These were rarely used by players, but are certainly in a better state now.
Here is the zoomed-out 3D with counters on it;

And the same shot with the new icons;
And now zoomed-in with counters;

Here is a little more detail (at 200%) of the individual units;
The winter graphics for 3D have all been adjusted. Here is the zoomed in 3D view with counters;
And the same shot with icons;
Here are some examples of new in game units (the Romanians). Shown at 100%;
And at 200% size;
And here is a brand-new campaign scenario that has been created for Kharkov ’42 by César ‘Indragnir’ Librán Moreno. This section shows The Soviet setup for the northern pincer towards Kharkov. César has used a lot of additional research to completely create a new version of the Kharkov ’42 scenario;
Here is the southern pincer ready to attack northwards towards Kharkov;
And finally, the German forces that we massing around in the south at Slavyansk preparing for Operation Fredericus;
This is a big project and everything shown is work in process, but we wanted to share what had been done to date. The Panzer Campaign games are such a strong series that we wanted to put the time in and update them to be more aesthetically pleasing both graphically and aurally.
We do not want to release them piecemeal so there is still a bit of a wait, but we thought it important to show the progress to date. Until next post…

Hi All,
We’re proud to announce the release of the Gold version of Panzer Campaigns Smolensk ’41.
As mentioned last April, we have been working with John Tiller Software to relaunch the Panzer Campaigns series of games. All 11 games covering the Eastern Front have been updated to the Gold standard and will be progressively released shortly. We want to ensure there are no issues before releasing all of the titles and Smolensk will allow us to determine if there are any problems.
The titles that updates have been completed for are listed below;
Panzer Campaigns 01; Smolensk ‘41
Panzer Campaigns 03; Kharkov ‘42
Panzer Campaigns 06; Korsun ‘44
Panzer Campaigns 07; Kursk ‘43
Panzer Campaigns 09; Rzhev ‘42
Panzer Campaigns 14; Moscow ‘41
Panzer Campaigns 15; Stalingrad ‘42
Panzer Campaigns 16; Budapest ‘45
Panzer Campaigns 17; Minsk ‘44
Panzer Campaigns 19; Kharkov ‘43
Download film sniper 3 subtitle indonesia. Deadly sniper Tom Beckett is recruited by the CIA to go to Ho Chi Minh City and take out a ruthless drug dealer who turns out to be an old war buddy he thought. Sep 28, 2004 - Tom Berenger here is quite good, and makes the film worth seeing if you. Sniper 3 is far from perfect, but it does possess enough thrills to.
Panzer Campaigns 21; Moscow ‘42
Panzer Campaigns Demo; Mius ‘43
All these titles will come as either a new game replacing the existing Panzer Campaigns title for purchase or will be a free patch to existing owners. We have to go through a fairly convoluted process due to both the HPS and JTS communities, but essentially anyone with the JTS 2.00 version will get the patch and any HPS upgraders will get the brand new JTS installer and an applicable key.
The new Gold version of Smolensk 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 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 the expansion pack scenarios previously released for Smolensk ’41
- All released Volcano Man scenarios
- A single balanced play by email scenario from the Blitz.
- A brand-new master Map – this impacts all scenarios and there is a lot more detail on the recrafted Smolensk map.
- 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.
As shown, we have been focused on completing the Eastern Front games first. This has sped up the process as it’s quicker to reuse graphics across associated titles. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to work on the Western and Mediterranean games until later in 2018. With the Eastern Front done, we must double down on the North African Panzer Battles title as that has languished slightly while first the American Civil War title, Petersburg was released followed by these Eastern Front updates. We will move onto the other theatres after North Africa is released.
Here are some additional screenshots (all can be clicked to view at full size);
Here is how the original JTS 2.00 release looked like on release and by comparison the new map and graphics
Original map;
And the same scenario using the Gold version. The map, terrain, units & unit cards are new;
Here is a sample of a few of the various 46 scenarios included with the game;
Here is a comparison of the original toolbar and the new ‘Modern icon’ bar. The icons are equivalent to each other;

Here is the original 3D with graphical unit icons;
And the new and improved 3D of the same shot;
The 2D units also come with graphical unit icons. This view is fully zoomed in;
And the traditional NATO symbols;
The range of scenarios cover both small and large engagements as well as different ground states;
Here is an example of one of the larger scenarios detailing the fighting around Smolensk – at maximum zoom out;
And finally, here are a few more shots of the 3D map. This one is at medium zoom with graphical unit icons;
This shot is the same one with NATO symbols – again at medium zoom;
And finally, the traditional counter view;
This has been a big project and like everything taken longer than we expected. The Eastern Front covered more games than any other theatre and we knew we would get the biggest bang for the buck doing this series first. We really hope that we can breathe more life into the Panzer Campaign games as they are such a strong series. We really wanted to put the time in and update them to be more aesthetically pleasing both graphically and aurally.
Expect to see the aforementioned titles being released very soon…
