Panzer Corps 2 News

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.

Two days ago we had our Home of Wargamers Live+ stream, in which we delivered news on all fronts, including for Panzer Corps! You can watch it here in case you missed it:

David Sharrock, producer for the game, went through the new mechanics of Panzer Corps 2: Pacific, which will be released later in 2022.

We've also released new free scenarios as a holiday gift! As is befitting the season, all three of them have a distinctly wintery theme to them. We hope you enjoy them, and are getting ready for more upcoming Panzer Corps 2 content arriving early next year.

Scenario: End of the Bulge

This historical scenario played from the German perspective and takes place in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of the Bulge. While the German counteroffensive made impressive initial gains, it has now stalled out for lack of supply and fierce Allied resistance, such as the stubborn defense of Bastogne at the hands of the American 101st Airborne.

But when German High Command insists the limited gains of the offensive not be abandoned, several elite Panzer Divisions find themselves dangerously exposed to flanking attacks from British and American forces aiming to erase the 'Bulge' created in their lines.

Is it still possible to preserve Germany's elite Panzer Divisions, or will the half-victories accomplished by Operation Wacht am Rhein turn to another defeat Germany can no longer afford?

Scenario: Voronezh43

The second Soviet Winter counteroffensive is underway! While Soviet encirclements stamp out the last embers of German 6th Army resistance at Stalingrad, more Soviet forces race across the snowy landscape of the Motherland to reclaim vital cities and territories back from the fascist invaders.

One of their main objectives is to regain control of the Don River, and to do that the Soviets have set their sights on Voronezh. Defended by a motley scattering of Axis auxiliaries, this vital crossing is just one of the many lightly guarded positions the Axis powers have been forced to create as their forces are stretched to breaking across the enormous distances of the Eastern Front.

This historical scenario played from the Soviet perspective and takes place near Kursk in January of 1943.

Scenario: Meridian

This fictional scenario played from a British perspective pits your forces against a Soviet enemy in a MidWar Era setting. Featuring many game improvements such as enemy heroes, secret caches, and randomized enemy reinforcement waves, this scenario promises strong re-playability as you must plan defensive positioning and offensive maneuvering against a series of unpredictable threats.

Quick word on Axis Operations
While it is still too early to reveal any new details just yet, we want to reaffirm our commitment to this DLC series, and have huge plans to finish it in spectacular fashion!

Right now we need a little extra time and work for 1943 though, so as you have noticed it is taking longer to produce than the previous DLC installments. This is mostly so we can properly lay the ground work for how exactly the split timeline will take form and be handled through the game's mechanics, but also to make sure we can continue to innovate and design new and interesting content for both new players and veterans alike to enjoy. We also still have plans to continue to revisit and improve past DLC, for example turning on the Commendation Point display in the early Axis Operations content.

Have a Happy Holidays!

The Panzer Corps 2 - World Championship moves into the forth round today. Kleko11 remains steadfastly at the top, but there has been considerable movement below his position. Can PlannedParenthood conceive of a path to victory over Kelko11's remarkable hold of the top spot?

Round 3 leader board:
1) kleko11 9152
2) PlannedParenthood 8150
3) a432 7713
4) Trepko 7386
5) Dardalon 7359

Round four sees us battling in the Ardennes. The famous operation that took place here, used late war equipment combined with blitzkrieg tactics. The unusual weather conditions (for Western Front) gave Germany ample scope for a last-ditch tank offensive. The hope was to regain momentum and control of the war...

We're releasing a new update today, this one consisting of a number of fixes.

You can find the full changelog below.

Change log:
- Fixed crashes and errors when assigning heroes outside the Deployment Phase (both manually or from scripts)
- Fixed crashes which some people experienced with "Show Instances" option turned off
- Fixed tooltips over difficulty levels
- Fixed red selection getting stuck in "import core" popup
- Fixed encirclement markers not showing for allied players

The Panzer Corps 2 - World Championship moves into the third round today and the battle for the top of the leader board remains mostly unchanged, with Kleko11 extending their lead.

Round 2 leader board:
1) kleko11 5930
2) bubu13 5716
3) FritzchenEK-I 5429
4) DarkBlueInk 5428
5) KhalilGibran 5347

The next battle takes us to Moscow in 1941. This will be a tough and protracted battle for the heart of a nation. Expect to score lots of points here...

Tournament Scoring Update

There have been two significant changes to how scoring works for this round, which you should be aware of:

1) In case of early victory the winner will get full points for all victory hexes for all remaining turns.
2) There are also separate points awarded for victory itself (500 points).

These changes have been introduced due to the feedback we received after the first two rounds.

We hope you'll like these changes to scoring. Please let us know if you have any questions.
