* [[No Campaign for The Wicked]]: So averted the damn thing probably broke in half. Even dancing around the issue of the Soviets, the only vanilla campaigns for the original WERE for the Wicked, namely the Third Reich. While this was slightly toned down in the sequels, they remained the stars of the series, coupled with the addition of the Soviets. The only vanilla aversion came in two, with the "Crusade in Europe" campaign(s), which were identical but offered the choice of whether you wanted to fight using the Americans or the British. Fanmade camapaigns rounded things out, but things still lean very heavily towards the Germans.
** Panzer General II opened up the options to play as the British, the Americans, or the Soviets as well (complete with the ability to slightly change how history turns out depending on how well you do), but the Germans are still in the spotlight here. You can choose to play as early as 1936 commanding the Condore Legion in the Spanish Civil War to create the [[Alternate History]] scenarios mentioned above, or you can choose to play as the Germans from Stalingrad to try and prevent the total capitulation of Germany as per our timeline. [[Harder Than Hard|Good luck.]]
* [[Non -Entity General]]: Played with. While you aren't actually represented on the battle maps, your [[Mission Control]] will actually offer you drinks and smokes during briefings and otherwise interact with you as though you are a living, breathing human being in the same room.
** In Panzer General II, you even receive your own dossier folder, complete with randomly generated name along with how many medals you've been awarded during your career. You know you've [[Took a Level In Badass|leveled up in badassery]] when the officer briefing you addresses you as "Field Marshall."
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: The game encourages the use of combined arms by making certain unit classes stronger or weaker against other classes. Pitting a tank against an AT gun is generally a bad idea.
