Masterpieces. 
The Union/Confederate flags in particular look great.

This I'll have to check out sometime!
Are you working on any mods of other games as well?Comment

You can certainly still buy them from eBay etc, and they are playable with XP. PeG-ww2 is free (hint!). It is a conversion of PG2 to use the more advanced PeG engine. There are dozens of WW2 scenarios and campaigns available for it, plus the Napoleonic and ACW conversions.Originally posted by curtsibling
Is there any way to acquire and operate the Panzer General titles now for the Win-XP PC?
If so, I am going to purchase and try them!

O-M, BoCo and McM - I can really recommend PeG-WW2; give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
Yes, although I'll have to truncate most of the side views. Not sure if there is any interest in ToT sprites though (?)Originally posted by typhoon
You could probably convert the ships into ToT multi units as well.
Nope. Still working on ToT if you need anything for the Burma scenario though (hint!)Originally posted by Boco Are you working on any mods of other games as well?

Nice one Gareth. Just played and won the Salerno scenario. Just starting to plunder the Campaign collection. I LOVE old hex based games.
I realised that I used to have Panzer General and Allied General for the Play Station years ago and really enjoyed them. They were slightly different but basically the same game minus modability and new scenarios.
I could not get the Napoleonic game to work but I will give it another shot. I saw there was a Talavera scenario so I have to give it a go. I also want to see your ACW units in action.
Fortress Europa will have to go on hold for a few days while I immerse myself in some hextastic combat. Civ II is still the king of games though

That's Romuald to you! I revved up PacGen six months ago and enjoyed it a lot. 'Twas fun to sink the Yamato about 5 times during the campaign.Originally posted by fairline

Amazing graphics. Not to mention a neat idea.
I wonder...
I've been working on (for a different game) an alternate history what-if where Lee is significantly reinforced prior to what in our timeline was the Gettysburg campaign.
This might be a better game to try the idea on.
I don't suppose I could persaude you to work on (when time permits) some graphics for other specific leaders or units (if I can find a way to distinguish them) for this?

. Massive improvement over PG and AG. Another step forward was PeG, which was PG2 with bells, whistles and a modern China vs NATO setting. The PeG-WW2 guys have ported the entire PG2 game over to the new PeG engine, and the entire game is avalable to DL for free (second big hint!)

Thanks Elensar. The PG2 / PeG engine is definitely better than civ to recreate battles. Scale for PeG-ACW is 1 unit = 1 regiment (battalion). Campaigns are effectively a series of battles which you take a core group of units through; their experience and leader qualities improve with combat. The outcome of a battle leads to one of 3 outcomes: these in turn decide which battle is played next, so alternative timelines can be interwoven with historical timelines (In the current long CSA campaign for example you get to attack Washington DC if you do well enough at Gettysburg).Originally posted by Elensar

If you need any gfx now is a good time to ask; unit gfx or icons are contained in a single large file (3000 icons max I think) which I am still adding pics to atm. Once the installer package is finished, this is fixed, although individual players can edit this to add more with Guzmans tools. Let me know what you want and I'll make sure it gets included prior to release of the installer.Comment

Hm. Longstreet and Hancock would be good and if there's a way to show them off as distinct (as I recall, the only thing out of the ordinary in their appearance was Irish green flags), an Irish Brigade unit.
What do I need to download/install/purchase to run this?Comment

I would like to get my mitts on PG2 - Don't mind paying if I have to, I love old games like this!Originally posted by fairline

When I see your great Civilwar units I would like to make an American Civilwar scenario after my Conquest scenario.
Btw, may I ask you for some units for my current conquest scenario?Comment

Cairan. I think Gareth's hints refer to the free download link in post #1. PG2 is but a few clicks away
Gareth, a quick technical question about the campaigns. I have tried to download some but I they do not work. I take it I need to convert the maps using the conversion tool? I will give this a go now. Is there anything else I need to do? At the moment the campaign loads but the map is just black.Comment
