SPECIAL THANKS

When you are fighting a battle, you accrue prestige by capturing objectives. This prestige can
be used to take replacements and requisition new units. If you wish to maximize your prestige
award for winning a battle, limit the amount of prestige you use requisitioning new units during
the battle. PANZER GENERAL II allows you the choice of requisitioning new units to turn the tide
of a tough battle, at the cost of having less prestige available between battles. Note that taking
replacements during a battle to bring your units up to strength does not count against the pres-
tige award given for winning a battle.
MULTIPLAYER GAMES
PANZER GENERAL II can be played with up to four players over a network or via the internet.
Detailed instructions for creating or joining a multiplayer game are given below. The game cre-
ator is given the exclusive ability to set some game options. He or she can change the difficul-
ty level of each player side by clicking on the up and down arrows. This increases or decreas-
es the amount of prestige points available to the player during the game. Also, the game cre-
ator can set a time limit (in minutes) for each turn by clicking on the clock icon and then click-
ing on the up and down arrows.

Internet Play
Many Internet Service Provider's (ISP's) use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means
that a user's IP address changes each time they log onto their ISP. If your ISP uses dynamical-
ly assigned IP addresses, you need two telephone lines to play PANZER GENERAL II over the
Internet (one to log into your ISP, the other to call your opponent and tell him or her what your
IP address is). Your other option is to play PANZER GENERAL II on Club SSI.
Creating an Internet Game
1. Make sure your PANZER GENERAL II CD is in your CD ROM drive.
2. Log onto the Internet using your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
3. Determine your IP address by double-clicking on the WINIPCFG.EXE file (located in your
C:\WINDOWS directory). Note the IP address numbers and the location of the decimal
points. Inform your players of your IP address, if they do not already have it.
4. Start the PANZER GENERAL II game.
5. Click on the Multiplayer button from the Start screen.
