NAME
netPanzer - an online multiplayer tactical warfare game
SYNTAX
netpanzer [options]
DESCRIPTION
This program is a free (GPL) isometric view real-time tactical game
designed for play across the Internet and over LAN systems. One on one
games are possible via direct connect or modem.
netPanzer is designed for FAST ACTION combat -- it is not another
resource management clone. In fact, there aren’t any resources at all.
Each player will have many units of different types at their disposal.
Players can fight until their units are destroyed -- then respawn and
keep on going.
The game is real-time, but it’s based on quick tactical action and unit
management. Battles progress quickly and constantly; in fact, they
never let up. There is no stop in the action because there is no
waiting for resources to be collected and converted into weaponry.
Players can join or leave multiplayer games at any time.
