Open General is a turn-based strategy game based on Panzer General II and the 5 Star General Series originally published by SSI. It has been coded from scratch and combines the most familiar and popular features from that series, combined with vastly improved computer opponent game play and new features for equipment file, campaign and scenario designers.
Open General is a game engine, a highly flexible framework for equipment files and the campaigns and scenarios which are based on those equipment files. The end result of the combination of those three elements is what is considered to be one of the great classic turn-based strategy games in the history of computer gaming.
Don’t worry, you will find all three elements here packaged in a user friendly installer that will get you into the game as quickly as possible.
This game uses a tried-and-true engine that comes with a plethora of scenarios and ages, allowing you to play from the Ancient Times wars to today's campaigns.
I love how it allows you to play through more obscure and often never touched conflicts: Spanish CW, Russo-Japanese war, American-Mexican, Thirty Years War, Israeli-Arab wars, and of course the "classics": American CW, WWI/II, Napoleonic and Roman ones.
I have an GREAT time with it, and I love it's flexibility and depth.
Best about it? Like the name suggests, it's 100% free and open source.
