Panzer Corps 2 News

Last week we announced the new DLC, Axis Operations - 1942.

To celebrate the upcoming expansion we are launching a new tournament.

You can join the tournament by clicking here. It is a fun multiplayer competition with a live ranking, which will automatically generate your games between you and your opponents. All you need to do is log in and play your turns, while the Slitherine Tournament system takes care of everything.

The Path to 1942 Tournament will last 3 rounds, each round starting one week. The first round will begin on Thursday June 17. **

Each week, during our weekly Tea Time streams, we will be giving an update on how the tournament is going, so this is your chance to be featured live on the Tea Time Twitch streams.

The Path to 1942 Tournament will end on July 8, exactly one day before the release of the new DLC. 52 people have already signed up, so what are you waiting for?

** EDIT: Due to an unforeseen hotfix that we will need to release before we start the tournament, the tournament start-date is now on June 22. We apologize for the inconvenience. The good news, though, is that you now have a few more days to sign up. Besides, June 22 was the official date in which Operation Barbarossa began, so what best day on which to begin our tournament?

We're announcing the next Axis Operations DLC for Panzer Corps 2: 1942.

It is a crucial year in WW2, with some of the largest battles of the whole war occuring on the fiercely contested Eastern Front. This new campaign is 17 missions long with players needing to fight both tooth and nail against the Red Army as Germany.

Axis Operations 1942 retains some classic features of the Axis Operations series, such as returning mechanics like Commendation points as well as original and unconventional new mission objectives, including airlifting supplies to pockets of German forces, providing dedicated Close Air Support for Axis partner nations, and one very unusual mission to assist in the escorting of several Kriegsmarine vessels directly through the English Channel.

It is also the first Axis Operations DLC with more than one ending. Given the importance of the battle of Stalingrad, seen by many as the real turning point of the war, you will see different outcomes depending on how well you perform there.

It also includes new units, of course. There are new units for Hungary (improved Toldi II Model 1942 and Turan 1 tanks), new utility and prototype units, to supplement the game's impressive array of mid-war era vehicles and weaponry, as well as visual upgrades for existing German vehicles.

Just like any other Axis Operations DLC, it can be played as a standalone DLC or, if you want, you can import your core army from the previous DLC, 1941. At the end of 1942 you will also be able to export your core army to any future DLC of the Axis Operations series.

Axis Operations 1942 will be released on July 9th.

If you would like to sign up for the beta, you can do so by clicking here. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and it will help us greatly.

Last but not least, we're opening a new tournament for Panzer Corps 2. You can sign up now. The first round will begin next week, on Thursday June 17. It is a PBEM tournament which will accompany us throughout the release of the DLC, and will conclude one day before its release.
