Featuring the heightened realism of hand-rendered maps - ║ ║ thirty painstakingly crafted battlefields that are faithful to the real ║ ║ ones of WWII - the LIVING BATTLEFIELD also showcases detailed rendered ║ ║ combat units. ║ ║ ║ ║ Of course, this beauty is beyond skin deep. The phenomenal game play of ║ ║ the second generation PANZER GENERAL game engine is truly awesome. ║ ║ Battles rage through WWII's Eastern and Western Fronts, North Africa, ║ ║ even the continental USA. ║ ║ ║ ║ Will you fight as a Wehrmacht Officer, or perhaps lead your comrades in ║ ║ the Soviet Army? You may want to hit the beaches at Salerno and ║ ║ Normandy as an American or British General. No matter what path you ║ ║ choose, you will need all your skills to triumph. The successful ║ ║ "Panzer General" devises sound strategic plans, and carries them out ║ ║ with unswerving commitment. Generals who are indecisive inevitably ║ ║ fail. Can you forge a battle-winning command and conquer your foes? ║ ║ Isn't it time to find out? ║ ║ ║ ║ Features: ║ ║ ║ ║ All new campaigns and scenarios feature conflict in areas such as ║ ║ Dessau, Leningrad, Malta, Tobruk, and more. ║ ║ ║ ║ Includes 1 large campaign, and 4 mini campaigns. Take command as a ║ ║ German, American, British, and Russian General. ║ ║ ║ ║ Multiplayer support for up to 4 players via LAN or the Internet - ║ ║ plus PBEM support. ║ ║ ║ ║ Battle editor allows you to edit scenario and unit data. ║ ║ ║ ║ New features include: research track, unit leaders, and an improved ║ ║ player performance dossier. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ oOo Install Notes oOo ║ ║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║ ║ Unrar, Unzip, and run panzer2.exe.

RAZORs story changes about as ║ ║ often as CLASS releases. 4 Months ago they were denouncing the SPA, ║ ║ while today they quote the rules the SPA set up. RAZOR wants you to ║ ║ believe CLASS purposely released Postal in the condition it was in, just ║ ║ to laugh at the end user when they were unable to play it. RAZOR also ║ ║ made it out as if CLASS had no intention of putting out a fix, when in ║ ║ fact a fix for the game had been made, and was still being tested to ║ ║ prevent any future fixes. RAZOR said CLASS took too long to put out a ║ ║ fix (24 hours), yet it took RAZOR 72 hours to put out a fix for Red ║ ║ Alert: Aftermath. ║ ║ ║ ║ RAZOR is just feeding you lies everytime you read one of their .NFO ║ ║ files. The most recent lie is when RAZOR stated they would no longer ║ ║ "rag" in their .NFO files, which lasted about 1 release, or 1 week ║ ║ depending on how you look at it. RAZOR also claims all CLASS puts out ║ ║ are sub par games that do not work. This could not be further from the ║ ║ truth and the following list has been compiled to prove just that. ║ ║ CLASS knows this will not quiet the mouths at RAZOR, but will hopefully ║ ║ remind the end user what has gone on in the games scene recently and who ║ ║ has been bringing you the BEST PC games. ║ ║ ║ ║ * To keep the total number of releases even, only August & September ║ ║ were used for CLASS while all of 1997 was used for RAZOR. ║ ║ ║ ║CLASS ║ ║~~~~~ ║ ║ August 1997 ║ ║ ║ ║ Nitro Racers (c) 3DO ║ ║ Forbes Corporate Warrior (c) Simon & Schuster ║ ║ XCar: Experimental Racing (c) Bethesda Softworks ║ ║ Puzz 3D: The Notre Dame Cathedral (c) Hasbro Interactive ║ ║ Imperialism (c) SSi ║ ║ Lose Your Marbles (c) SegaSoft ║ ║ Avery Cardoza's 100 Slots (c) Cardoza Entertainment ║ ║ NFL Legends 98 (c) Accolade ║ ║ Flight Simulator 98 (c) Microsoft ║ ║ Valderrama (c) Access Software ║ ║ Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain *FINAL* (c) Activision ║ ║ Real Genius (c) Pro One ║ ║ ║ ║ September 1997 ║ ║ ║ ║ 7th Legion (c) Microprose ║ ║ Jonah Lomu Rugby (c) Codemasters ║ ║ War, Inc.

In fact, ║ ║ CLASS won the "Game of the Month" in both months, and received the HIGHEST ║ ║ rating ever given by TRG (Total Annihilation [97%]) while RAZOR received ║ ║ the lowest rating ever (Man of War [25%]). ║ ║ ║ ║ There are the facts, which is the complete opposite of what RAZOR preaches ║ ║ to you in their .NFOs.
