Okay, so this is completely off topic, but I have a friend from childhood whose dad lived in Poland in 1939. The Germans overran his town, and then by treaty it was given to the Soviets. He spoke several languages, so the Soviets conscripted him to be a spy.

He got off a refugee ship at Ellis ...

And don't forget all the rapings of civilians and pillaging.

it gets far far uglier than that.

Uglier than Coventry, Katyn, Dresden, Malmedy, Hiroshima, etc etc? I don´t think so.

Yes, uglier than that (except perhaps Hiroshima). Way uglier

The KV-2 was made to shoot at concrete, not against metal, it's a self-propelled gun, not a combat tank, despite it's an heavy tank.


yes well ok. but what happens if they shoot HE shells on Panthers without ammo? Do you think the Panther crew will survive a rain of HE shells? KV2 commanders ...

A game of combined arms warfare cannot confront the ugly side of WW2 and Nazism because that side didn't occur on the battlefield.


Actually, it did. Everybody -including the Western Allies- occasionally murdered pows, pretty much everybody bombed civilians, then of course partisan and ...

10 strong KV-2 vs 8 suppressed encircled without ammo Panther

KV-2 does nothing.. Tank commanders don't know about HE?

Not a single loss for the Panther...

Totally out of whack. The game mechanics are totally not intuitive and don't make sense really.


KV2 is artillery for taking out bunkers ...

There is also another problem of exploring such themes:
We can't say Hitler, we can't say Nazi.

How can you have Operation Valkyrie if we're not allowed to put Hitler and Nazis in the game.....?


I 100% agree. It sucks that you're operating under that restriction, and I feel the game would be ...

I've mentioned (complained) about the Loraine Scenario power and number of the Axis and their ability to make major offensive actions.

Now another - if this is supposed to have any reality I was sure surprised to see what a massive and strong air power Poland has - devastating air attacks against ...

Cheat NewHero

There must be something in the game that decides what heroes you can get, I assumed this would create a random hero but that seem to not be the case.

If I generate 3 new heroes, then reload the game to just before hand and generate 3 heroes I get exactly the same traits, name etc ...

Since i am capturing often, i dont have to care about prestige. I even gave elite replacement to auxilarys, because it doesnt matter. Won Moscow 43 in fst. try on field marshal and i dont think that it would be a problem on generalissimus. Liberator and double capture boni , combined with killer ...

1) I'm not unsure which zoc method is best I just don't care either way which is used. Both can make sense in context depending on scale and as this game doesn't really have a set scale it's pure design decision. As long as my opponent has to follow the same rules it's fine.





See that's ...

The Germans even had a word for it - beutepanzers. They even built their own T34 in captured factories, the T34 747. Rommel used Matildas in North Africa.

It adds flavor.

Thank you Gwaylare & Hemi for taking the time to write thoughtful responses. With all dues respect I disagree with some of your analysis. I have edited your comments for simplicity.



On the other hand an encirclement does not have an major impact to the encircled unit itself for a strong unit ...

If you play the campaign with the denied air force trait, it's a great teacher to using AT because without Stukas those Somuas, Char Bs, and Matilda IIs are hard nuts to crack. Deploy them where you can adjacent to infantry and armor that may invite an armored attack.

The hero skill where the unit ...

I posted the following in another thread





Friendly units do not negate EZOCs unless you have the perk that does this.



The reason people are having issues with encirclement is the ZOC rules are too strict. Your enemies ZOC blocks supply even if you have a unit there, therefore encircling ...

When you get a prototype offered, there is a number with it, usually 20. That's the number of points available for that unit. You buy the unit with a strength of 10, and subtract that from the number of points available, and you have 10 points left to repair.

That's it. After a couple scenarios ...

You can buy the game from Slitherine then generate a Steam key and install from Steam if you wish

Sad to say I'm having a difficult time figuring this game out. :oops:

Are AT units worth keeping around and if so, how to use them?
Same with AD units.
How important is air superiority?

Is splitting units to get encirclement worth it or just risking those splits core units?

Do I need an all ...

Be careful what you might wish for. Our units get supplied by the border too

sure by using this line of thought, World of Tanks or other MMOs would have been tremendously successful like they have.

There is currently very little incentive for me to open Panzer Corps and play it, except the novelty. After 10 games beating the crap out of new players (making them probably ...

I have no idea where to find them and if its not officially baked into the game interface don't except others to find it.

Most games use those alternative methods as their channel of communication. If you want to find a gamer that's the place to look
