Panzer Corps 2 News

Today we have a great announcement for you.

We're announcing the next Axis Operations DLC for Panzer Corps 2: 1943

The Axis Operations 1943 DLC Campaign focuses entirely on the Eastern Front. But more importantly, this DLC begin to answer long standing questions of the series, culminating in the possibility to permanently alter the course of the war in this campaign... and also in future campaigns to come!

In addition to the continuing trend of bonus mission objectives inspired by true historical events, this campaign will be supplemented by appearances from additional historical German leaders from World War II.

As no 1942 campaign could be complete without Stalingrad, no 1943 campaign can overlook the infamous Battle of Kursk.
Engage in a unique take on this battle, often touted as the Largest Tank Battle in History, as you pit your Wehrmacht veterans against the seemingly endless lines of Soviet defenses protecting their salient.

Axis Operations 1943 will be released later this spring. We will be revealing the release date in the coming weeks.

The Panzer Corps 2 - World Championship moves into the sixth round today.

Returning to the classic campaign, this round we have a multiplayer re-imagining of a classic map: The Battle for Kasserine Pass. This battle should have been an easy victory for the Allied forces, but poor leadership and green troopers led to vastly more losses than anyone expected. Of course, for multiplayer the forces have been carefully tweaked to give both sides a fighting chance.

Will you be able to alter history?

Leaderboard
In leaderboard news, Kleko11 has finally been unseated from the top of the leaderboard, but only barely. Trepko has now taken the lead, but less than 300 points keeps him there. This round will definitely decide the fate of one of these two excellent players.

It's not as if those giving chase are that far behind either...

Round 6 leader board:
1 Trepko 13549
2 kleko11 13257
3 FritzchenEK-I 12443
4 nutoha 12009
5 rishat 11678



Continued improvements
We have fixed a few errors in scoring that occurred during the last round. Please do continue to report any problems you face, as your feedback helps improve not just this tournament but all future ones as well.

Patch 1.2.4 has come about primarily due to your tournament feedback and includes these fixes:

- Fixed occasional crashes when assigning heroes
- Fixed problems with awarding tournament points at the end of a mission

We hope everyone is continuing to enjoy the competition at this mid-way point.

Today we are releasing a small update for the game, fixing a bug which was causing the game to crash when assigning heroes occasionally, as well as fixing an issue related to the tournament scoring which was reported in the last round. Apologies for that bug, but it seems everyone was affected, so no player was advantaged over others during that round, scoring wise.

Changelog:

- Fixed occasional crashes when assigning heroes
- Fixed problems with awarding tournament points at the end of a mission

As development on Panzer Corps 2 Pacific and the next Axis Operations DLC continues, we thought this week we’d take a look at some of the best rated and most popular mods for the game on the Steam Workshop.

First we have Panzer Corps 1 Grand Campaign https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2410075863 which is the grand campaign for Panzer Corps 1 remade for Panzer Corps 2 by a group of six fans (Ezequiel Romanko, Rick Kesler, Davidson, Grondel, R2G2 and Swifty).

It’s a large mod, and the most downloaded on the whole of the Workshop. It is currently playable up to 1943, and development is still ongoing.



On second position, here’s the New Units Pack https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2406908759&searchtext= which adds 10 new german units to the game, including the Command Panzer A, the BF110 Heavy Fighters and the Fallschirm sPzB 41 (airborne anti-tank). It’s developed by one of the authors of the Panzer Corps 1 Grand Campaign remake, R2G2.



The third most downloaded mod is The Big Red One https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2323744661&searchtext= a campaign comprising of 15 custom made missions following and detailing the chronicles of the Big Red One (1st Infantry Division) as they fought from the dunes of Africa to the end of the war in Germany in 1945. This is also developed by one of the authors of the Panzer Corps 1 Grand Campaign remake, Davidson.



Give them a try and let us know what you think about them!

We'd like to thank everyone in the modding community for Panzer Corps 2: modding is a key component of the Panzer Corps saga and we're really happy to see such interesting mods spring up.

The Panzer Corps 2 - World Championship moves into the fifth round today.

This round, we have a special treat for everyone - a brand new and never before seen map, The Siege of Leningrad. Study it carefully, as the battle you win may be your own.



Will you break the encirclement? Or simply hold the line?



In leaderboard news, PlannedParenthood drew blood from Kleko11 last round, but it wasn't enough for him to secure a victory. Nevertheless, another 3000 point Kleko11 victory was prevented and now around 1000 points separates the top of the leaderboard.

Everything is to play for.

Round 3 leader board:
1 kleko11 11069
2 Daystick 10616
3 FritzchenEK-I 10272
4 Adel77 9916
5 Folklore 9898



AFK Players
We have heard your feedback about AFK players and have taken action this round to remove those that have not played in the last 2 rounds. We hope between this and the scoring system, there will be a lot less chance that an active player will face an AFK player.

As always, we are improving the system based on your feedback and the data we collect on our side.
