oOo Release Notes oOo
Witness the LIVING BATTLEFIELD, a new standard for strategy game
artwork. Featuring the heightened realism of hand-rendered maps -
thirty painstakingly crafted battlefields that are faithful to the real
ones of WWII - the LIVING BATTLEFIELD also showcases detailed rendered
combat units.
Of course, this beauty is beyond skin deep. The phenomenal game play of
the second generation PANZER GENERAL game engine is truly awesome.
Battles rage through WWII's Eastern and Western Fronts, North Africa,
even the continental USA.
Will you fight as a Wehrmacht Officer, or perhaps lead your comrades in
the Soviet Army? You may want to hit the beaches at Salerno and
Normandy as an American or British General. No matter what path you
choose, you will need all your skills to triumph. The successful
"Panzer General" devises sound strategic plans, and carries them out
with unswerving commitment. Generals who are indecisive inevitably
fail. Can you forge a battle-winning command and conquer your foes?
Isn't it time to find out?
Features:
All new campaigns and scenarios feature conflict in areas such as
Dessau, Leningrad, Malta, Tobruk, and more.
Includes 1 large campaign, and 4 mini campaigns. Take command as a
German, American, British, and Russian General.
Multiplayer support for up to 4 players via LAN or the Internet -
plus PBEM support.
Battle editor allows you to edit scenario and unit data.
New features include: research track, unit leaders, and an improved
player performance dossier.

oOo Scene News oOo
The recent RAZOR.NFO files have been full of propoganda and twisted
explanations of events, all for the sole purpose of trying to make CLASS
look "bad" and make RAZOR look "good". RAZORs story changes about as
often as CLASS releases. 4 Months ago they were denouncing the SPA,
while today they quote the rules the SPA set up. RAZOR wants you to
believe CLASS purposely released Postal in the condition it was in, just
to laugh at the end user when they were unable to play it. RAZOR also
made it out as if CLASS had no intention of putting out a fix, when in
fact a fix for the game had been made, and was still being tested to
prevent any future fixes. RAZOR said CLASS took too long to put out a
fix (24 hours), yet it took RAZOR 72 hours to put out a fix for Red
Alert: Aftermath.
RAZOR is just feeding you lies everytime you read one of their .NFO
files. The most recent lie is when RAZOR stated they would no longer
"rag" in their .NFO files, which lasted about 1 release, or 1 week
depending on how you look at it. RAZOR also claims all CLASS puts out
are sub par games that do not work. This could not be further from the
truth and the following list has been compiled to prove just that.
CLASS knows this will not quiet the mouths at RAZOR, but will hopefully
remind the end user what has gone on in the games scene recently and who
has been bringing you the BEST PC games.
* To keep the total number of releases even, only August & September
were used for CLASS while all of 1997 was used for RAZOR.

Numbers do not lie, RAZOR however does. If you were to average the
ratings from TRG of games released by both groups in August and September,
CLASS would have 72% and RAZOR would have 75% This does no justice for
the claim RAZOR makes about CLASS releases being below par. In fact,
CLASS won the "Game of the Month" in both months, and received the HIGHEST
rating ever given by TRG (Total Annihilation [97%]) while RAZOR received
the lowest rating ever (Man of War [25%]).
There are the facts, which is the complete opposite of what RAZOR preaches
to you in their .NFOs. Upset? Betrayed? Just plain pissed off? Let
them know how you feel about this via E-Mail thepunish*razor1911*com) He
will be GLAD to hear from you.
NOTE: If you feel the information provided is incorrect, E-Mail CLASS atclasspc*hotmail*com and we will be happy to clear up any confusion you
might have. It takes a while for the RAZOR propoganda to leave the brain.

Due to the overwhelming amount of feedback we got about artists, we are
going to try this again. First, we are looking for people who can

some much needed exposure, especially here in the USA. Lastly, we just
wanted to thank everyone for all the positive feedback we have received
over the past few weeks. It's nice to know our work is appreciated. So
