Ran across these two titles:
World War 2: Road to Victory
World War 2: Time of Wrath
Anyone give me some info that has played them - They look like Panzer General type games and I would love to get them if they are any good. Thanks.

This question / problem has been solved by Kezardinimage
I had no idea what to expect from that thread title :-D
Yet another vague title that implies something else related to WW2 from everyone's favorite vaguethreadtitleologist.
I have no clue what those games are.

Time of Wrath basically is a re-made Road to Victory with a bunch of additions and enhancements. You can find more information on the Matrix Games forums . There should be a demo out there, too...yep, [url=http://timeofwrath.com/index.php?id=6]here it is.
Supposed to be a fairly solid game. Much larger in scope than Panzer General, but not as deeply complicated as something like Hearts of Iron. The same devs are now working on Storm Over the Pacific.
There's a review for Time of wrath on Armchair General :

Something more like "Dear internet, through a strange twisted bit of luck I seem to be stuck in the siege of stalingrad, I have only my cell phone a pocket knife and a chocolate bar. Could someone just check what date it ended?"
Thanks to everyone for the information. I wish I could mark this answered for both Crassmaster and Kezardin as both were very helpful. Crassmaster hope you do not mind but since Kezardin is a new user with lower rep I am going to throw the solution his way.
They are nothing like Panzer General. They are more like Strategic Command, Third Reich, etc.
It's operational level wargame.
One is the sequel of the other.
thread title sounds like something hitler would have posted in 1944
