  Scorched earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A scorched earth policy is a military tactic which involves destroying anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area.
British use of scorched earth policies in war was seen as early as the sixteenth century in Ireland where it was used by English commanders such as Walter Devereux and Richard Bingham.
During the Napoleonic Wars, scorched earth policies were successfully employed in both Spain (see Peninsular War) and Russia (see Napoleon's invasion of Russia).

 Panzer General III: Scorched Earth for PC Review - PC Panzer General III: Scorched Earth Review
The campaigns in Scorched Earth are quite challenging, not because of a particularly strong computer opponent, but because the scenarios themselves are set up to be difficult to win.
The real problem with Scorched Earth is that it doesn't fix any of the problems introduced by the shift to 3D: namely, the confusing perspective that can make judging unit positions difficult, and the unfortunate shift away from the unit experience system.
Scorched Earth is nothing more than Panzer General 3D Assault in Russia, and the price seems a bit high for a simple extension of a year-old game that itself hadn't improved much on its predecessors.
