Im still amused about that name. Most germans know her name very well, but not because of her participation in WWII. After the war she founded the first "sexshop" in the world, and her company is still out there and operating.

Guess they should have given her Shock Tactics.

Do you have any Reduced or Zero Slots heroes in those tanks?

Could be. I should note I am not playing with Aggressive Deployment, so it was really hard to make a use case for 2 movement infantry vs. 3.5 move infantry without giving the slower unit some other significant advantage. Pioneers have a bunch of bonuses, Grenadiers only have slightly higher attack v...

I was experimenting with changes to try and use more infantry types (typically Pioneers, Azul and Gebirgsjaeger were the usual picks, with Wehr and Grenadiere used rarely). In the end I've changed Pioneers to be bridging units (with a house rule not to field the cheap bruckenpioniere), and grenadier...

The Bf109Z is great with Superior Maneuver+Galland. It ends up with 9 INI and 13 Air Attack with that combo, plus the 18 movement allows you to put Galland's passive bonuses pretty much wherever you want. If you roll Superior Maneuver, it also becomes a good spot for the Thorough preparation hero. O...

One of the things I love in PzC are the historical heroes like Kersher, Bar etc. Haven't gotten through the 1942 DLC yet (I restarted from 1939 after the Steamroller changes), but I haven't read anything about similar heroes in this DLC (I understand you get a choice between two AA/AT heroes, and yo...

Another thing I've noticed is that before you could drop in the hex under the transport and any adjacent hex, now you can only drop in the square under the plane. As a result, some of Student's troops stay in their gliders throughout the Crete scenario, I went to great lengths to rescue them from th...

I am playing with that trait (but no Denied Arty or Aircraft) and I've gotten prototypes from all classes except infantry fighter and tac bomber (fighter and tac bomber could be just luck, there's not that many of them in 1939-1941 plus I've gotten Strat bombers so I know you can get aircraft from i...

Just a quick note on the heterogeneous nature of German Panzer divisions in 1939/1940. Initially (1935), the Germans created 3 Panzer divisions (numbered 1-3) out of cavalry units. Later (1937-1938) they created two more (4 and 5) and 4 "light" (numbered 1-4) divisions. The 5 panzer divisi...

They're not impossible, the extra turn in Eben Emael for example means you'll get bombarded by the Range 5 forts for a turn, I got lucky, they targeted my mobile force that was rushing to the fort, so my paras were pretty much intact. But yeah, it's poorly thought out, for example in the training mi...

I guess it is probably the proper way it should be, but I'll miss it. I had two overrun heroes, one since fairly early in SCW, and with it a got Steamroller by the end of '41 on 5 different infantry units plus one recon! So...it's value as a hero has now taken a huge hit IMO. :| Funny, I think the ...

Or if they absolutely need to keep both for MP, they could change paratroopers to be able to attack on the turn they disembark. If you manage to keep casualties to the transport low (say 2-3 points), your offensive combat power will be about the same as it was when being able to disembark in one tur...

Εben Emael Briefing Wagner: "Make sure you immediately encircle the fortress before the gunners can man their guns". Panzer Corps Commander: "But I can't, new orders from OKH specify our gliders need to hover over the targets to give the enemy airforce a sporting chance of shooting th...

Yeah, there's been a lot of complaining about them on MP (I don't play MP so I will accept that the complaints were valid), but we shouldn't be playing complaint ping-pong here, they should find a solution that works for all game modes. There are scenarios where you need to deploy paratroopers and b...

You don't need to be one square away, in order to provide support it needs to be next to the unit it supports (i.e your unit that is being attacked). If you put the Artillery support on a tank (say a Panzer IV) for example, you can put it next to another tank (say a Panzer III) and have them both in...

The real surprise here is Gerhardt is still alive and in his position, that guy wouldn't last a week in a real Panzer Corps (unless he was Hitler's nephew or something).

Artillery Support: Tanks (with good SA) and Recons (with Rapid Fire) are good for it, because they give you extra tactical options, you can still have Artillery support while pushing ahead at max speed without waiting for artillery to catch up. Expert Support: The 21cm has AT support (not Arty suppo...

One of the joys of PzC2 (and PzC 1) is that each of us can tailor it to how they want to play. In PzC1, I even used a savegame editor to change the pictures and names of heroes to match Knight's cross holders from the 3rd Panzer. But I think I've highjacked this (excellent) thread enough, I will go ...

why do you like the S tank better than the Char? where do i capture them? I'm fired up cuz I stopped playin waiting on responses to my post before proceeding. thanks and additional replies or suggestions appreciated I'm not a big fan of that French Forbach (sp?) scenario either but learned the hard...

Anyway, that's what and why I do what I do. Do you find too many infantry units in your core with your setup, or not a problem? Perhaps I didn't explain this properly but I don't field them all in every scenario. If it's an offensive one, from each division I field the two tank units (three if play...
