Hi All,

We're very pleased to announce the release of the first Gold version of Panzer Campaigns - Smolensk '41 Gold.

The Gold range is a refresh of John Tiller's iconic Panzer Campaigns series and will include all twenty one released titles as well as the Mius '43 demo. Wargame Design Studio has prepared the updates for publishing by John Tiller Software (JTS).

All the Eastern Front titles (eleven in total plus the Demo) have been converted to the new Gold standard and will be available over the next month or so. The Western Front and Mediterranean will not be available till 2018.

The Gold version of Smolensk includes the following updates and upgrades;

The game code will now be standardized on the JTS codebase. There will be no further support for the HPS version
All new 2D & 3D map graphics
All new unit graphics and counters on map
All new unit cards
All new in game sounds; weapon, explosion, background and miscellaneous
All the expansion pack scenarios previously released for Smolensk ’41
All released Volcano Man scenarios
A single balanced play by email scenario from the Blitz.
A brand-new master Map – this impacts all scenarios and there is a lot more detail on the recrafted Smolensk map.
New ‘modern’ toolbar icons
Code update – disruption no longer halves movement during the day and is reduced by one third at night.
Code update – reinforcement ‘place all’ has been migrated across from the First World War Campaign series.[/li]

For existing owners of the JTS version, there is a free patch available at the JTS website under Updates.
For existing owners of the HPS version, please contact JTS Support so you can receive a free key and a link for the full JTS version.

All new purchases of Smolensk '41 will now be the Gold version.

We're excited to finally get these updates out the door and bring these deep games to a new generation of players.
