About Codename: Panzers - Cold War
Tempelhof, Berlin, dawn of 8th April 1949.
A major armed conflict is brewing between the Western powers and the Soviet bloc. The Red Army has been growing ever stronger since the end of World War II. With the growth of their army the Soviets realize that they hold the advantage, and are only waiting for the right moment to attack. That moment arrives with the Tempelhof Incident: the near-fatal collision of a US cargo plane and a Soviet fighter over Berlin's main airfield. A fatal combination of coincidence and human error, there is no point in arguing what went wrong, no point in asking who pulled the trigger first and who fired on whom in return. The Incident went down in history as fatal.
Within 12 hours of the crash the ground beneath the German capital is shaking with the salvoes of a war never meant to be: a conflict between former allies over Europe and global supremacy.
In this game the worst comes true, and it may just change the fate of the "free world" forever! WWII is now just a memory - but the Cold War has just begun...

Simple fun for casuals.1 found this helpful
The first game was one of my favourites from my childhood and I still enjoy playing it, the second game was a good Africa expansion. This however doesn't feel like a Panzers game, it feels like a choppy mess with better graphics that didn't know what it wanted to be.1 found this helpful
Win 11 - game does not work after first few missions edit: managed to make it work under win10; it's an ok game, a simplified version of first two parts. the models are well done and the animations are ok; worth your time if you don't compare it against its predecessors
It's the worst of all Panzer games. I reached the end and during the last missions I just wanted it to be over already. Gameplay-wise, it's simpler than Phase 1 and 2. The combat involves more units but you can do less stuff with them. New features include the ability for soldiers to build small structures and for tanks to be customized (with rockets, anti-aircraft guns), but everything boils down to send everyone and keep your repair units/medics alive. Btw resources are infinite. There's no depots or resource management. You can repair a whole army twice with the same repair vehicle. Plot is stupid and nonsensical. First of all, it ditches the campaign system of previous games. You won't be playing an american and a soviet campaign. It's all a single plot having you play only as NATO, it's nazi allies (yes) and an incredibly stupid plot revolving around soviet intelligence infighting. It starts kind of believable with an accident escalating tempelhoff crisis, but then it devolves to a dumb mess that doesn't takes itself seriously but it's not interesting either. Mission design starts decent but then it becomes a slog. There's some mildly fun missions in this game but th…
Full of bugs, always crash
Not bad strategy war game, if you like this genre. In game you have few troops types, soldiers and tanks, and your goal is to complete objective by ordering troops where to go and fight. But full price of 15 euro is too much
