Development history
In 1997, SSI released Panzer General II. It proved to be a popular game not only because of good design, but more importantly because of user-created content. Since its release there has been continuous development of additional content in the form of equipment files, campaigns, scenarios, sound effects, and unit icons.
After a few years with no support from SSI, the bugs and limitations of PG2 provoked a series of user-created patches. The original game was modified to address some of the major issues, and content development continued with the help of tools created by Luis Guzman.
Eventually Luis began working on a replacement for PG2, all new code but compatible with PG2 content. Called OpenPG2, testing and development carried on with community support until finally...
Open General was born. Still compatible with PG2 content, but no longer requiring any files from the original SSI game. Limitations of PG2 are finally removed, new features added, and many equipment files updated to take advantage.
