The (cater)pillars of heavy-metal warfare.



<span class="bold">Codename: Panzers Phase I</span>, and <span class="bold">Phase II</span>, the acclaimed duo of RTSs where you command heavy artillery while entangled in historical WWII battles, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 40% launch discount. Buying both will grant you a 60% completionist discount.

As kids, playing with toy cannon-cars™ was usually the pinnacle of our accurate reenactment of human warfare. Because tanks can go anywhere, blast through anything, and withstand terrible amount of punishment. The same holds true for their digital counterparts that are tasked with changing the tide of war with real-time strategic moves in iconic WWII scenarios.

Codename: Panzers: Phase I and Codename: Panzers: Phase II let you control infantry and artillery units as you alternate between three opposing factions right in the middle of Stalingrad, Berlin, El Alamein, and even Monte Cassino. Take the reins of war from renowned commanders like Hans Von Gröbel, Aleksander Efremovich Vladimirov, Dario DeAngelis, and Farvan "Vuk" Pondurovik, crush the enemy forces, and relive their greatest victories. It was the dawn of a new era, ushered by roaring, strategic canon-blasts that still echo today.



Manage and position your menacing machines of war in authentic WWII battlefields as you command the <span class="bold">Codename: Panzers Phase I</span> and <span class="bold">Phase II</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 40% launch discount and the 60% completionist discount will last until February 25, 3:59 PM GMT.

Not sure how this slipped under my radar a decade ago. Looks exactly like a game I would have purchased back then. And probably sucked at, but that's another matter.

But times have changed and I'll need to mull over the purchase now. At least we have a full week on discount to decide.

Oh, and thanks for the classic release, gOg and Nordic! Really appreciated.

IronArcturus: Has anyone tried these games yet? Is there a Skirmish mode in either one?
Both games have skirmish modes.

Maximum players is 4x4.

Plus there are three additional scenarios to play (for phase one).Although the bonus scenario seems to be bugged since it throws some errors out. Also there seem to be some scenarios for phase two.

Sounds good! Does it have any custom maps or editors at all?

Editor is in the game files and it seems to work. There are few custom maps available on moddb which you can download and play in skirmish.

I've read that the Cold War game is supposed to arrive soon. How is it different from Phase I/II?

Is the gameplay like the Men of War series but with tanks only? Or are some parts turn-based?

Can't help you there I'm afraid, I have yet to try men of war, still tempted. If its like blitzkreig you will enjoy it. Others may be able to clarify if the comparison is the same.

it does mention bliztkreig but looks a little different:

Tanks, infantry, some artilery and other smaller mobile support units. Its real time. No turn based combat but it has active pause.

But what is "active pause?" Is that like in Hostile Waters where you can move units even when the game is paused?

No, you can give commands to units and they move when you unpause the game. This is what active pause means in majority of games.

They cost 10€ if you buy them together at 60% off. Discount is only visible on the checkout page.

If its like bliztkreig you can pause at any time and issue orders that will be acted upon once the game is unpaused.
