I recently downloaded the John Tiller Panzer Campaigns demo entitled Mius 43 from the John Tiller website and i was wondering if they had released any demos from any of the other titles in the series ?

Currently, Mius '43 is the only Demo that JTS has released for PzC and it is the only Demo to be released out of all the different series that JTS covers.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Just FYI, it is not the most fun campaign that they picked for their demo. Please don't judge the series by that very static little battle.

The full titles are varied, from wide-ranging, deep-penetrating blitzkriegs to airborne operations to sea landings to major slug-fests. The Mius title really just (IMHO) gives one a taste of the mechanics, but not necessarily of the series.

Thats ok, i'm not actually playing the demo, i'm using it to demonstrate a system i have for combining the Tiller Panzer Campaign series with Combat Mission using PzC as the operational layer and CM for tactical combat resolution, i will be using PzC for long range artillery, AT / Inf Gun and armor sorties, and also small skirmishes, but for the assaults on hexes i will be using CM, what made me choose PzC as the operational layer is the fact that the combat values of the forces in a PzC PBEM game can be changed at any point in the game without corrupting the save PBEM game file, thus allowing the combat effects from CM games to be smoothly applied to the PzC OOB and back again to the CM units after each round of combat.

I actually own a copy of Normandy '44 and am running an operation at the moment with it with me as the umpire, but i'm going to test a method for umpireless operations with a playing friend of mine using the new Commonwealth Module for CMBN when it's released, the reason why i asked about other demos is that for CMBN players to use my system they have to have a copy of Normandy44 which means asking CMBN players to buy a game thats nothing like CM if they want to use my system as unfortunately there are no Western Front Pzc demos available.
