Achtung Panzer Generals.
We have a grab bag of goodies to share in this news update today.
In the latest Panzer Corps 2 patch, we’ve got some general fixes and improvements for the game, some fine tuning adjustments for the recent Fall of Poland campaign, but most excitingly and also the focus of this announcement is the release of four brand new scenarios for all owners of Panzer Corps 2 to enjoy... at no additional cost and with no DLC ownership required. Consider these scenarios as our holiday gift to you, our players and community, who have kept Panzer Corps going and going for over 13 years and counting. Thank you once again, and we hope you enjoy the scenarios even more than these previews of them we have for you today.
Change log:
- Added 4 new single scenarios: End in Poland, Attu, Imphal, and Rhone River
- Fixed a few minor issues in War Stories: Fall of Poland campaign
The first scenario we’d like to cover is fittingly set to the current season and takes place during a stormy winter battle, the Battle of Attu. In this scenario, you’ll get an opportunity to lead a joint US and Canadian force in the struggle to liberate Attu, part of the Aleutian islands off the coast of Alaska, which had been occupied by the Japanese in June of ’42.
Be prepared for a very unique amphibious landing battle that actually takes place during a snowstorm, definitely a one-of-a-kind battle with that element in it. But that’s not the only surprise in store in this historical scenario, and we don’t want to spoil every surprise here in this reveal...
The second free scenario takes you back to Poland in 1939, but unlike the recent fall of Poland DLC, in the Battle of Kock you’ll be commanding German forces in the final battle of the Polish Campaign that marked the absolute end of organized Polish Resistance.
Expect to see many of the brand new units added during the Fall of Poland DLC to make their appearances here, as all of those units are included with the base game of Panzer Corps 2 and they are not directly tied to the campaign DLC purchase.
The next scenario in this free content pack moves to India, with the opening stages of the crucial Battle of Imphal, as played from a Japanese perspective. A large roster of Japanese units has been added to Panzer Corps 2 ever since the release of Axis Operations 1946, and that makes this scenario the first ever Panzer Corps 2 scenario with the Japanese as the playable faction.
In the Battle of Imphal, you’ll be fighting a very different kind of war compared to fighting across the plains of Europe or Steppes of Russia. Between your Japanese forces and their ultimate goal of Imphal are thick jungles and mountainous terrain that characterized the border between India and Burma. Good air support and plenty of units capable of fighting in dense terrain absolutely characterize the opening act of this battle. But as for what happens after the breakthrough, well that would be another spoiler...
And last but not least, we have one fictional scenario to join the previous three historical scenarios of this free content package. This one is set during June of 1940, at the end of the Battle of France. In this scenario, you’ll actually be playing as a French force, attempting to stall both German panzers and also Italian invaders from capturing more and more of France before an armistice is reached.
We hope you all enjoyed this preview of the pack of free scenarios being included in this latest Panzer Corps 2 patch. And to further celebrate, we’ll be putting Panzer Corps 2 on sale for anyone new who is interested in picking up the game to enjoy its wealth of hundreds of scenarios and many historical World War II campaigns.
Thank you once again to all our awesome players and to the community as a whole. We wish you all Happy Holidays and best wishes through the rest of winter. We’ll be right back with more news and updates to share very early next year.
for me real quick ?
