I was looking for something else when I came across this game. Looks pretty interesting and hopefully it's not too overwhelming to play/manage.

I like the idea of having a dynamic campaign and campaign editor.
The game come out April 30th.

Features


Classic turn based, hex based gameplay with an intuitive UI and great depth.



Play as the Japanese or Allies in 3 dynamic campaigns with unit carryover and multiple "what-if" scenarios including the Japanese invasion of Australia!



A rich 3D world with detailed animations and effects. Turn based wargaming has never looked this good!



20 different Specializations give a unique feel to each sides including Banzai Charge, Bushido Code and even the Manhattan Project.



Over 500 different units, including infantry, tanks, ships and aircraft, each with unique visuals and animations



Attach unique commanders to your units to give them additional offensive and defensive bonuses



A deep but intuitive supply system allowing breakthroughs & encirclements.



4 player multiplayer over PBEM++ and hotseat, supporting last-man-standing, teamplay and cooperative against AI scenarios.



An extensive, user-friendly in-game scenario editor with a what-you-see-is-what-you-get design.

I'm really sick of RTS and miss a "Panzer General" style of game.

Anywhoo, looks interesting.:hmmm:

If you want to play Panzer General without spending any money, then download OpenGeneral. Its free and covers a lot WWII, whether its ETO or PTO. It covers WWI, ACW, and more . Works just fine on Win7 too, not sure about Win8.
