''Panzer General'' is an operational-level [[Turn
In the game, you take control of the forces of [[Nazi Germany]] during [[World War II]]. Battles take place on a hexagonal map; the entire map is visible at the start, but there is a [[Fog of War]] which hides enemy units outside the player's vision. The objective of each map is to take and hold certain key cities within the time limit; whether and how quickly the player does this determines how well he does, which on certain maps can unlock [[Alternate History|ahistorical campaign options]]. The ultimate goal of the game is to invade the United States and conquer Washington, D.C.
