I see Panzer General 2 is in the list of games, and there are old classics like MOM and MOO. Any chance of Fantasy General or PG1 coming to GOG?

Only if Ubi decides that they want those games on GOG. Plenty of SSI games that we want on GOG, but with most of the SSI games being Ubi property (and the D&D games are even more problematic, as the D&D license belongs to Hasbro, so GOG will need to deal with two corporations, not with one), chances are very slim.

Would love to see Fantasy General here, but i don't keep my hopes up. I can instead recommend Fantasy Wars and Elven Legacy series. The first is available on GOG, the second is on Steam. Those games are the closest thing to Fantasy General.

Alternatively, if you own the retail CD, you can run it through DosBox.

Yep, I bet lot of us would love to see those two classics available here where they belong.
In the meanwhile if you don't mind their abandonware status and toying a little around DosBox you can search for them at Abandonia.com.

Nah...Ubi wants you to play their "awesome" Panzer General online.

So the rights to Pacific general, Star general, Fantasy general and People's general belong to ubisoft now? If so, why didn't they make a deal with gog already? I mean they don't seem unreasonable since even the newer ubisoft titles are here.

Ubi has most of the SSI rights.

And, yeah, lots of unhappy people because they just sit on them.

They haven't released anything here ever since July 2013; maybe the decided to burn bridges?

Considering that it's based on a license, it's not a surprise that they haven't bothered with it. It would cost a lot of money for at least one of the parties involved, that they aren't sure if they can recoup it back.
(Talking about the DND games).

Well, there are the Su27 games, the original Silent Hunter games (1/2), the 5 star general remaining games and, possibly, War Wind series and Luftwaffe/Panzer Commander games. Also, possibly, the Buck Rogers games.
