This is the (F)requently (A)sked (Q)uestions file for PANZER GENERAL, and
not for Rise of the Triad - RotT, the upcoming 3D action game by
Apogee Software. So if you read any of this, and something bad happens to
you that's related to this FAQ, I didn't do it(except if I really DID do it,
then I'll tell you personally). If anybody is offended, go talk with Mummy.
Remember, International Bullshit Manufacturers produce LAME computers,
so, better buy sthing that contains a Motorolla CPU !.

The majority of this FAQ was not written, but collected, and put in
Categories by me.
All credit belongs to the original authors, to whom I have made a good
faith effort, within the limits of cut 'n' paste, to give proper credit
where due.
Quite a BIG part of this FAQ was taken from a Help-file by Scott A. Jenkins,

This FAQ also contains the readme.txt file from the cd-rom release.
Hope this will be some help for u Panzer Generals!

* 0 * General Game & Scenario Notes
=============================

The discussion of scenarios appears in the order they appear in
the scenario screen. After the name of each scenario is the
number of turns in the scenario, the minimum objectives required
for an Axis victory, and some playing tips from playtesters (use
them at your own risk!). For each scenario, the Allied victory
conditions are simply to prevent the Axis from achieving theirs.



There are scenarios to suit a variety of historical interests
or tactical tastes. We suggest you try the tutorial first to
gain familiarity with the game system, then try other scenarios.
If you want a stiff siege, try Sevastopol. For the classic
encirclement battle, refight Kiev. If mobile steppe tank
warfare is your interest, play Kharkov. Play Kursk for a mass
armor assault, Budapest for a head-on slugging match, Crete for
heavy airborne action, Crete, Norway, Sealion or North Africa
for a naval battle, El Alamein or Torch for a duel in the
desert, Anvil, Anzio or Norway for mountain warfare, D-Day for a
major amphibious operation, Cobra for a fight against hopeless
odds, and the Low Countries or Barbarossa for the classic
blitzkriegs of the war.

=============

1939 CAMPAIGN



Your two goals from the start are, first, to win, second, to
win quickly, and, third, to minimize your losses, particularly
avoiding destruction of core units, and maximize the experience
gained by your core units. Your army starts as an infantry
force with mostly weak tanks. Priorities in the Polish
scenarios are (1) gaining as much experience as possible for
your units, (2) upgrading and adding tanks, and (3) building a
