						1) Blitzkrieg V1.2 : German campaign rules, good gfx/sound, mods etc. only AI sucks
 
 
2) Blitzkrieg Expansion(s): Same reasons (AI sucks)
 
 
3) Desert Rats vs... : Looks good, but story mode sucks. And if your hero dies, whole mission is screwed  
 
 
Sudden strike sucks...I'll be waiting Panzers, 'cos destructabel environments and great GFx impressed me  long time ago..
 
 
Mayby I have to check that WW2, if it's any good  ... Sad that i cant mention Silent Storm and Sentinels (tbs as they are)...So my question is: Do you like rts or tbs more??? My vote would be TBS, 'cos SS is the best game on this genre, since forever!

close combat series ownz! especially part three 'The Russian Front'
  I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

						Well I liked the demo of Codename Panzers way more than the demo of Soldiers (maybe because the second one ran like shit on my pc, don't know exactly why :/).  But I'm waiting for both. 
 
 
And I really like Blitzkrieg + expansion.

						Codename: Panzers will be good and so will S:HoWW2. Panzers though is still working on a level that past WW2 games have already done while Soldiers takes it to the next level. Soldiers is more geared towards a smaller number of units. The engine Soldiers uses, imo, is better looking and definately more realistic. For instance in Panzers buildings use the old life bar thing so shooting it with say, a tank, will take away from it's life bar. Soldiers, buildings have no life. It's a building after all. Shoot it with a tank and it will blow that part of the building off, killing anything that might be caught in the blast or falling debris.
 
 
Panzers to me is just a polished, more refined Sudden Strike with better graphics. It's still playing by the old rules. Soldiers isn't.
 
 
Also since Soldiers is taking it a step farther with it's game engine you may need to upgrade to play it. It all depends if you want to take the next step or stick to a game that plays like the last game you played.
