Неплохой и пожалуй, единсвенный клон серии СМ. Первая часть серии Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm вышла в далеком 2004 году и была ориентирована в первую очередь на фанатов СMBtB (до выхода Нормандии было ещё 4 года). Выглядела игра в сравнении с CMBtB внешне симпатичнее и в целом почти полностью копировала конкурента. При этом был ряд серьезных недостатков. В первую очередь это более скромное кол-во приказов. Вторым недостатком был более скромный набор сценариев - война шла в окрестностях Сталинграда, зимой. Ну и возросшие системные требования. При этом картинка на 2006 год была просто катастрофически устаревшая. Посмотреть на это чудо можно тут -

В 2008 вышла следующая часть Panzer Command: Kharkov. Кардинальных изменений она не привнесла. Графически осталась прежней. Как не трудно догадаться героем дня стал город герой Харьков.

В 2011 году собрав остатки совести в кулак Matrix Games выпустила финальную часть серии Panzer Command: Ostfront. Основательно поработав над наполнением им удалось выпустить более менее вменяемую игру способную увлечь фанатом пошаговых варгеймов до выхода Combat Mission посвященной середине или началу войны. Игра включает в себя увесистый набор кампаний и сценариев, включая генерируемые. Все прежде вышедшие кампании Сталинграда и Харькова так же были включены в игру. Подрихтовали графику, улучшили физическую модель. По сравнению с CMBtB игра стала смотреться совсем хорошо. Под спойлером полный список улучшений.

Из ключевых особенностьй имеет ряд отличий от серии СМ. Отдавать приказы можно уже через 40 секунд. В игре присутвует всамдельнийщий ИИ ( а не набор скриптов как в СМ). Более подробно можно почитать на АГ

Что я могу сказать. А ничего! Сам играл недолго. Большим фанатом PBEM с ИИ не являюсь. Но ряд находок, плюс отсутсвие у СМ достойного ответа про Восточный фрон даже в отдаленной перспективе, делают эту игру хорошим вариантом скоротать пару боев в битве за Севастополь (там прям реальные орудия стоят) и выбить немцев из Сталинграда. С оговоркой, конечно, что игра зайдет только тем кому нравился оригинальный CMBtB.

Ставим так. Запускаем установщик игры, доходим до пукнта о вводе ключа. Запускаем DWSetupCrack жмем Crack, ждём пока взломает, после чего вводим любой набор цифр в поле ключа. 1111-1111-1111-1111 например.
После чего устанавливаем и запускаем игру. Патчим так же. После патча нужно заного выставить настройки графики в игре перед запуском.

Panzer Command: Ostfront

Оу йес! Наконец-то! Когда-то довольно серьезно искал пиратку этой игрушки, даже по всяким амерским сайтам лазил (но шифруются там пираты дико).

Thief2125

Все прежде вышедшие кампании Сталинграда и Харькова так же были включены в игру.

Это особенно хорошо, так как дико нравится первая миссия Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm. Я эту миссию переигрывал раз 20 наверное, очень уж мне запала. А вот дальше не играю, ибо там дальше слишком много подразделений дают в руки, за всеми не успеваю уследить, да и последующие карты не столь хороши. До сих пор держу игру на диске из-за той одной миссии.

Thief2125

Подрихтовали графику, улучшили физическую модель.

Да, выглядит неплохо (как на эту серию):

Пардон всем за ошибки в описании. Дебильная привычка в начале отправить, потом вычитать че отправил со мной уже второй десяток лет.

В архив Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm добавлена оригинальная англ. версия. (была версия от Акеллы с переводом). Позволяет поставить последний патч 1.13. Ключ в наличии.
