Panzer Corps 2 News

We are releasing the update accompanying the release of Axis Operations: 1941.

The DLC will be released later today, at 3 pm GMT. In the meantime, you can read the full changelog down below.

It contains some improvements related to UI, but the main feature is the new online Tournament support.

Changelog:
- The game has been migrated to Unreal Engine 4.26
- Aircraft now don't spend movement points within 1 hex from their base. In practice this means that their movement zone is centered around the base, not their current position.
- Units in Reserve can now be upgraded
- The game will now display movement zone and combat predictions for selected enemy units.
- The game will now display movement zone over friendly units (such markers have an extra outline, compared to ordinary markers). If you don't like this feature, you can turn off this new functionality in Options (Display/UI -> Show move zone over friendly units)
- "Heroes" advanced option has been extended with a "Hero chance" slider which allows to fine tune how many heroes you will be getting in the course of the war, without turning them off completely
- It is now possible to give units partial green or elite replacements by Shift+clicking on one of Replace buttons.
- Added tournament support for Multiplayer, and tournament-related parameters to the Editor
- A number of crashes and bugs fixed

Time for a new Battle video of Axis Operations - 1941.

This time we feature a large battle fought on the eastern front: Bryansk. In the video, among other things, we showcase the new muddy terrain coming with the new DLC.

We're publishing a new Battle video showcasing one of the scenarios coming with Axis Operations - 1941.

It is a large tank engagement that took place during the eatly stage of Operation Barbarossa: the Battle of Raseiniai.

Each scenario in Axis Operations - 1941 has been carefully researched and designed to be different. We hope that this battle video did a good job at showing Raseiniai in Panzer Corps 2.

Furthermore, we have some important news: Axis Operations - 1941 will be released on March 18.

We'll see you next week with another battle video: Bryansk.

The Slitherine Tournament system is being implemented in Panzer Corps 2, and we are looking for players willing to help us test it in a beta starting next week.

What is it?

It is a system which allows us to set up online PvP tournaments with automatic pairing of opponents as well as automatic creation of paired online games between opponents.

It is extremely easy to use: if a player wants to join a tournament, all they need to do is to sign up through the Slitherine site, then when each round starts the system will automatically create games between him and his opponent, and he'll receive e-mail notifications when his turn is about to start.

You can find more information on how it works and on its rules by reading this section.

Help us test it

We're currently about to start the final tests for the Tournament system in Panzer Corps 2, and therefore we're looking for willing testers.

If you'd like to take part in this beta test, you can take part by signing up for the Panzer Corps 2: Axis Operations - 1941 Beta, and specify in the "About yourself" section that you would like to take part in the tournament test.

Our producer Shards will contact you privately and send you the link in order to sign up to the tournament. The first round of the test tournament will begin on Monday March 8 at 9 am GMT.

It is time for our first Panzer Corps 2: Axis Operations 1941 battle video.

This time, we will be covering one of the most impactful moments of the early war, the breakthrough at Thermopylae.

Speed is vital if you wish to break the retreating British and prevent their escape. Having secured the escaping British, the time will come when you also need to assault the mighty defences of the Thermopylae pass. How you tackle this task, is up to you.
