Vintage tank simulator

Hello everyone, I'm an old man with an old game question. Years ago I had a tank game that I cannot find a reference. It was out in the late 80's or early 90's. It was a top down, turn based sort of strategy type game. Panzer General came after this title and the game was a more simplistic display than Panzer General. I cannot remember the title or publisher. All I can remember is it came in an Avalon Hill bookshelf type of box. Does anyone remember this game? I'm pretty sure it was a PC game but it could have been a Commodore 64. Thanks for any help with this.

Perhaps Storm Across Europe?

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately thats not it. Storm Across Europe is a new one to me, so thanks again.

The graphics were similar to History Line: 1914-1918 by Blue Byte (released by SSI in the US) if that helps.

Is it Gendai Daisenryaku, or one of the games in that series? Those were the inspiration for Panzer General and look somewhat like History Line: 1914-1918

Thanks again but no. I wish I had more info, but it's been many years and my memory is gone.

The only other things I remember is the tanks were very simple and I only remember there being light, medium and heavy tanks and there was an artillery component that work as indirect fire. You had to assign artilley at the end of a turn and it would occur at the start of your next turn. You had to guess where the enemy might be after moving. I can't remember any units but the tanks, however there may have been other types of units. Thanks again for the info.

You might be thinking of The Perfect General, which was one of the favorites I had on shareware

Of note was the "Elephant Tank"...

It appears there is still interest in this title: https://killerbeesoftware.com/kbsgames/pgnew/
