Scorched earth
A scorched-earth policy is a military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy while it is advancing through or withdrawing from a location. Any assets that could be used by the enemy may be targeted, for example food sources, water supplies, transportation, communications, industrial resources, and even the locale's people themselves.
Panzer General III: Scorched Earth
"Panzer General III: Scorched Earth" is set in World War II on the Eastern Front. It shares the same engine as "Panzer General 3D Assault", although the graphics are improved. It is considered by some to be the eastern Front expansion for "Panzer General 3D", which only deals with the western front. The game features four campaigns for German and Russian forces from Moscow to Berlin. Due to the success of "Panzer General 3D", it kept the same leader management system. The player begins the game with a pool of leaders that grows as the game progresses. Each leader specializes in a particular equipment class.
