Have you received an email?

Yes, I did, thank you for asking tkrysiak. First time following the link I just landed in the forum. Hence my post here. But thanks to your question, I just repeated the process and now am able to access.

Hey folks,
Glad to be back as beta tester, first time for PzC2 now. Always was an interesting thing. But we do not have a download for a beta yet, do we?

What a coincidence!

Just re-installed my original PzC, came here to freshen up memories and was surprised to read the PzC story continues. Sounds interesting, I'm curious how the plain and simple 2D PzC morphes in to 3D.

If beta testers are needed, I'd be glad to volunteer again!

Cheers!

Guys, regarding overstrenght units: have a closer look here http://slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=148&t=42325 :P

Overstrength is not limited by the number of stars

This is probably the most controversial change, but I wanted to give it a try. With overstrength lost in upgrades, it becomes ...

Italian units seem to stay suppressed once they got without recovering from one round to the next.

Seen this now a few times (Battle of Girba, etc.)


Edit: regarding the changes in 1.20, this might be because of the replacement. Ignore my post as I cant prove it the other way. ^^

Playing at FM level, this was no easy walk. But historically it istn meant to be that way, ;-)

Disbanded ALL Italian units, I upgraded to pioneers and bougth some arty and panzers.

It is hard not to lose too much men in the initial punch, however piercing the forts is the way to suceed ...

Knowing a bit of history might be an advantage here.

Two attemps needed on FM level,

First stalled at Tobruk as I lost precious units there.

Seccond attemp was quite easy, feels much like my history knowings.

If you respect it, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

In the first Mission Briefing, change
Deutsches Afrikakorps to
Deutschen Afrikakorps
German Language is kinda nasty.

Ja, Herr General

With great pleasure. Feels almost like Christmas in February

Cant wait until work is finished. I crave for those hours of fun testing the DLC!

Thank you for letting me be part of the gang again

I dont know what you guys are doing but I am used to always make me up a map of a new scenario. I know that has been discussed a few times but as the question rises up again and again, I just have to add my two cents.

It might look like this

Novoanninsky map

A lot of cities on this map end on "..skiy" , but not the name of the map nor the city Novoanninsky itself.

On a quick google, both versions of the name showed up. Might be more consisten to use ...skiy or ...sky for all cities the same way.

As much as I wished in the past I had this option, as much I'd deny that PzC needs this feature.

With this option, the strategic part that PzC consists would be much more turned in to an arcade game.

And as I know Rudankorts opinion about "Options" I dont think this is an issue that should ...

In the first paragraph it reads: " ... and your next operation will ...

and in the seccond paragraph: Your next objective ...

This repetition sounds somewhat strange to me. Couldn't this be changed to something like this in the seccond paragraph:

I'd clearly vote against preplacing too many (if any at all) Panzers in city hexes. They look good but they are poor fighters. :wink:

By now, sometimes I dont even need suppression to do devastating damage. Experience and overstrength are the keys. But I simply dont feel we should attack those ...

Simply second to deducter and Longasc's opinion. I even kind of hate it to play the maps again when I bought the official DLC as part of the surprise is gone.

Dont want to be rude, Adean. But El Condoro set the forum up with the scenario stickies so that we can post our scenario feedback in the corresponding sticky.

Thanks!
