Home of Wargamers Live+ Updates
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!
