With the full release, I'm finding alot of "odd" things. The command system is really, & I hate to say it, but Bizarre. The pathfinding for "withdraw" needs alot of work. The manual is weak, at best. And a few other things. The new units look very well done to me, but the legacy units need alot of work, IMO. Still, overall, I recommend it to anyone serious about the genre. Pray-haps it just takes some getting used to, but some of the design decisions definately needs some revamping. In comparison to more modern games, PCO shows more of it's boardgame beginnings to be easy to get into to. Still a good game, but it needs modernization in the rule department.

Ya I bought the full version... a good game, (never played the earlier versions), but as I play I find myself saying... well thats not really right, usually with the interface and command and control... still good fun, and works on anything...even my old work laptop.

Downloading the full game now, since I got it free because I own PC-Kharkov.

So far I'm enjoying the Panzer Command Ostfront demo, but I have had the game crash on me a couple of times. So, I want to make sure this game is stable before purchasing it. Personally I like the realism and scenarios better than CM. That and their DRM (having been charged extra to re-download games I already bought) will keep me away from that series. The only downfall I've noticed so far, are the clunky movement orders. I can never seem to get my troops aligned in a logical manner in one turn.

It would be much easier if I could set the formation before giving any sort of movement order. It would be even better if the AI arranged them for me, or at least not allow them to move past my given waypoint. Currently I'm having certain squads move out of cover, going past my marked location. It's very frustrating. Maybe I'm missing something though, I'll have to read through the manual to make sure.

Yet another misinformed statement.

what are you talking about JayTac... i can go to my account at battlefront and view my keys and download any and all of my games i ever bought there... come on... if your going to post something like that, make sure it's factual please.

I just had to reset my BF Shock Force lic. because of a computer reformat and I had no issues with re downloading a game I bought in 2008.
BF is very nice.

As for the PCO controls: Going from CM to PC controls is a hard nut to crack. Older PC owners/ users already know all the complex commands to use.
