I don't know it this has been answered yet fully, but here's my explanation.

Long term supression is delivered by: Artillery, Naval ranged units, Strategic Bombers.
It last until the end of the half-turn OR until the next "melee attack" the supressed unit receives.
Attacks made by artillery, Naval ...

I'm not competent enough to answer your question, but I can share my observations I collected up to this point.

1. The UI is not lying to you.
a) If it says zero casualties – it's zero casualties, even without full supression. Well, with the exception of rugged defence, which is still random.
b ...

Hi there, long time no hear. Well, apart from me fanatically watching youtube videos of Soren and Goose :D

I just blitzed through the vanilla campaign with Chess mode on (no random numbers) and I think its worth discussing for Ultimate mode. My reasoning? Re-rolls.

Some things are still random ...

Initiative doesn't help when attacking ground targets as the ground units always fire first (I think the initiative is set to 99 and 0 or something that clearly says ground fires first) so you're better off keeping Lent as a fighter bomber where the initiative is helpful for assuring you get the ...

The whole thing was decided when Nazis decided to initiate Barbarossa. Everything after that was just a long way to hell.

The AI has, just like the player, a certain pool of prestige to burn through. Sometimes it reinforces important targets, sometimes it does the "KV spam" as seen above, sometimes both. All of these make the player's task harder, which is the point of the whole thing.
I've just ran Kiev 43 and the AI ...

As we encounter heavier russian armor, the "Get Rudel'd gift package" (get in - one shot - get out) doesn't work as well with the Bf110 as it does with a overstrength Ju 87 D or G.
I still prefer Rudel in a D, because it can deal with all sorts of Artillery and AA, soft or hard, which are the main ...

Just cross-posting this here from the dev diary reply, because I think it's really important:


Come on devs, you should know better :) Don't get distracted with fancy 3D unit graphics. You know we don't actually look at unit graphics, especially not after a while: we look at unit type position on ...

Come on devs, you should know better :) Don't get distracted with fancy 3D unit graphics. You know we don't actually look at unit graphics, especially not after a while: we look at unit type position on the grid .

The "discount badges" are no good - there's no clear way to tell the unit type at a ...

Criticism has its place, but I find it to be overused.

My personal opinion is that no design decision in Panzer Corps 1 is so inherently flawed that it would merit criticism.
Sure, some things could've been done differently, but that's what PC2 is for.

A good gaming system will have coherent ...

Playing Panzer General, and then years later stumbling upon Panzer General Forever by chance, I could already see that a brilliant mind can achieve a lot when dedicated to a certain goal. In this case, preserving Panzer General for future generations. Thus, I had no doubt when I saw Rudankort's name ...

You don't really need to cross the canal en masse, though. A few units will suffice and targets on the other side are within bombardment/airforce range from your side of the canal.

The Italian Stuff is Good enough to go through the whole Afrika Campaign on Rommel and Field Marshall with a Decisive Victory in Every Scenario without using any German Unit (and that includes immediate Disband of all SE Units) except Scenario #1.

Of course it is doable. However, German units are ...

I played through AK again, this time with my suggested core setup.
Everything felt spot-on, except I'd take 2 Panzer II Flamm tanks instead of 1 HW infantry and 1 recon.
Having 3-4 AA units definitely a must.
The two italian SP artillery pieces we get for free are actually pretty powerful ...

I differ from the view that AK is different from the Russia campagn as to the tank-battles: quite opposite - both (wide open) terrains are ideally suited for tankbattles - in contrast to infantry battles.

There is no doubt there are numerous tank battles in AK. In my experience, encounters with ...

Tiger I is my favourite, both in game and historically. It was a piece of elegant design, ahead of its time.

Although technically not tanks, to me the visually most stunning are Sd.Kfz.232 6-rad and 8-rad with their hexagonal geometric design. Forget jeeps - these just look badass

Edited the OP for clairty.

The StuG is the first AT that can actually hold it's own in enemy turn, but again, its use is limited. AK maps are very well made, and they require a really tidy end of turn. I don't trust AT guns to hold the line.

I played through AK on "General" difficulty. While this might differ on higher difficulty level, I found that the usual "loads of tanks" strategy doesn't cut it anymore, especially beyond Egypt.

Some observations:

1. Infantry
Wehrmacht infantry isn't as effective in the desert. Because of ...

There are two convoys: one starts in the south, one in the far south-east.
For this scenario I split my army into two groups; one pushed North-East through the Soviet lines, while the main thrust was East over the sand dunes. The US forces are well entrenced and it will take all your artillery ...

I'm not kidding and this is not a Panzer Corps 2 scenario, but a way to introduce the Panzer Corps core game mechanics to a wider audience. The core mechanics would work great even if the game wasn't about killing. Many other games for mobile devices follow this path, where they take a well known ...
