Aside from its support for online multiplayer matches, one of the features that really make Panzer Tactics stand out to us when comparing it to other turn-based strategy titles (e.g. Advance Wars) is its employment of Commandos and Officers. Commandos essentially act as stealth operatives, sneaking into enemy territory and acting as an unseen nuisance to your opponent, whereas Officers improve the attributes of the troop they're assigned to and increase morale for surrounding allies.
The above three-and-a-half minute video, Panzer Tactics' third episode in its "Producer in a Box" video series, further explains the capabilities of these Commando and Officer units. Move your army to the hex cell after the post break to watch the two previous "Producer in a Box" movies. You can also study the fifteen new screenshots we've added to our Panzer Tactics image gallery.

Old school, boulder-dodging hero Rockford is set to make a comeback courtesy of 10tacle Studios. German developer 10tacle Studios worked out a co-publishing deal with the First Star, who still own the rights to the franchise, to make an updated Boulder Dash for both the DS and the PSP. 10tacle is handling the development side, and they seem enthused about working with the property. Since there is a lot of potential for stylus-based fun here, we are enthused about seeing what they produce.
