Other good Slitherine games?

[hardwiredsin]

Panzer Corps being released on Steam made me check out Slitherine's online store and I must say that I'm in heaven! They have so many great looking games available, I'm just wondering what are some good games to buy from their store, does anyone have any favorites?

Also is "Scourge of War: Gettysburg" any good? what about Fantasy Kommander Eukarion Wars?

I REALLY hope they start releasing all of their games on Steam

afaik Panzer Corps is one of their biggest titles, and another top one is Battle Academy. It's 3d and less complex than PC, but still quite enjoyable.

Well if you like panzercorps...I would suggest to try it with all dlcs....I have them all and I play it for three years now...

[Strummer]

Scourge of War is superb. If you like space games, Distant Worlds is the best there is. Also check out their sister site matrixgames.com as I don't think all games are on both.

The best space game is master of orion 2... I think....Matrix and Slitherine are more or less the same...but thats just my thinking

Qvadriga. Just got released and is an absolute blast to play. It may seem slow to start off with but beocmes engrossing once you learn the system.

"Order of Battle: Pacific" has not been released yet but it is looking like an updated (and improved) version of "Pacific General." Think "Panzer General" in the Pacific with more ships and less tanks

Also keep in mind that Panzer Corps is actually a remake of old game (Panzer General 1993) while they did a good job a lot of what makes Panzer Corps great is design from another studio long gone. (Miss you SSI) So if you find other games from them no where near as good dont be so surprised.

I like the gameplay of "Commander: The Great War" and how it`s depicting a frontline and a possible stalemate. Inevitably you will reach a point where your army is kind of locked in its position and moving forward seems to be not possible anymore. And then you have to focus on a sector and try a breakthrough, which, if succeeds can turn the game into mobile warfare again where you race your armies to the enemies capitals ... or the AI to yours. :-)
I like the way artillery is implemented as it consumes ammunition, which is rather rare. If artillery joins in the battle it can be a game changer, but to be able to use a massive barrage before an infantry attack you need to save ammo in advance and that`s a feature I like very much, because you have to plan it carefully where you want to try a breakthrough. And then you conserved ammo for an assault on the west front, but your troops at the east front are almost collapsing, so you have to use it to hold the frontline there. ...and postpone your assault plans for the west, which might be very bad, because you know, they just landed reinforcements and if you don`t hit them first, they will hit you even harder. But, since the east front needed all resources you only can hope for the best...
The feeling of success just for winning one hex back for your side is quite unique and different in this game and therefore I like it.

Wondering why nobody mention the infamous Close Combat series?

[Slitherine_Iain]

Hi guys,

we've got about 200 games on all formats. The Commander Series is a great place to start if you like Panzer Corps:

As pointed out we also own the Close Combat franchise and have 5 games from the series on our site with more coming soon. We're actually working on a Unity version so it will be cross platform and that's coming later this year. All very exciting!

Distant Worlds is a very popular 4X sci-fi series which is being combined in to a Universe edition and coming soon.

Battle Academy is a tactical turn based game which has won a host of awards and like Panzer Corps has cross platform multiplayer versus iPad

For the more hardcore wargamer we have the Decisive Campaign series:

For the ultimate experience we have the War in the East series:

Matrix Games is part of the Slitherine group and actually has a lot more of the traditional counter wargames. You can see a full list of titles available from both sites here

We've got games in pretty much any period in any setting, turn based, IGOUGO, WEGO, at every scale. You name it we have it!

We hope you enjoy!

What?!? No love for WITP:AE?

I loved a review of another game that pointed out AE as scary complex
Both Slitherine and Matrix have a nice catalog of wargames

Battle Academy is in my opinion the single best thing to happen to wargaming in 20 years, and yes, that includes Panzer Corps actually. Of course I think Panzer Corps is also a damned great game. But Battle Academy is the game they used to perfect their stellar multiplayer services with. The game can be played successfully in a single sitting, and it is as hard to explain as Chess, and it is as hard to beat a good opponent as a game of Chess. The AI is not an easy challenge. The game has a lot of replay value, is full of oodles of expansions. There is a great single player environment, but it just soars in multiplayer. Is all but cheat proof. Turn over in turn processing is incredibly fast. Finding a game to play against someone is very simple.

And anyone saying the graphics makes it look 'easy' and not 'serious' likely has never played it either. I have the entire set of Battle Academy, it has been the best gaming purchase I have made in my entire digital gaming life. I will even say I prefer it over Civilization (although Civ is a close second).

Slitherine group though has a range of games that is particularly vast. From the ultra hard core titles like War in the East and War in the Pacific as well as World in Flames, all of which are perhaps the pinnacle of squeemish need not apply, to the real time stuff like Close Combat and Battles from the Bulge, and the more typically board game looking titles (too many to mention).

There are other publishers of wargames out there for digital platforms, but none have quite the volume of choices. John Tiller sure is trying hard though.

McDonis funny you mention SSI, their founder and former CEO now runs 3by2 which makes some epic games that Matrix/Slitherine publishes. They are not as approachable and simple as Panzer Corps or Panzer General but they are equally as good, the War in the Pacific games and War in the East.

Talking about Classic games, Scourge of War Gettysburg is published by Slitherine/Matrix and is phenominal. It's like Total War Battles on seriods. It out performs the individual battles (there is no stratigic element) in the TW series in everything by miles (minus the graphics) and its really the spiritual successor to Sid Meier's Gettysburg from the 1990s.

I would really like to try Civil War ll and Commander the Great War for my next 2 wargaming titles. Are these games worth investing in and are there demos available, cheers....
