PzC Series - Eagles in the Sand v1.0 (29/08/25) - Prelude to Blitzkrieg (24/09/25) - The Lost Spring (24/09/25)

[stormbringer3]

I finally got the copy game up and running. there's one last problem. I have downloaded the equipment file and put it into the game folder before extracting as recommended. However, after extraction there are no files being overridden, all it does is create a folder where I can look at info such as different versions etc. The new units are not there. I tried V7 and v7 (1). Please advise what if I need to do. I must be missing something.
Thank you very much.

[bondjamesbond]

I did not take my gros tractors from the last mod and started to attack Poland with my new core from the mod pack )))) The rest is all in the pictures and replays ))









In this mission I got the impression from the aggressive actions of mass Polish aviation that it was Poland that attacked Germany ))))





P.S.


Nico if I play with your unit file my veterans from Prelude Blitzkrieg don't appear in my troop core when marching on Poland !!!!

Niko make the last maps are not the same that in different branches the end would be different but the last maps are repeated and it is logically wrong as different kernels turn out to storm deja vu and cause boredom )

The extraction created a new folder "nikivdd equipment file", copy the content of that folder into the directory of the copy you made of panzer corps

[nikivdd]

@Bond, delete the fall weiss folder, keep the fall weiss 1932-1939 folder. The original Fall Weiss folder won't ask for a saved army. Core import works if the same equipment file is used between the two campaigns.
About the repetition, i noted your concern

[stormbringer3]

I'm sorry to be coming back to you again, but I'm unable to find the directory you mentioned. When I open up the game folder, I see a lot of folders and other files inside. I opened a lot of them, but nothing has anything like directory in it. If you're tired of all this, I completely understand, and I'll just continue using the original units.

[nikivdd]

There was no teasing Sunday, so let me have a teasing Wednesday.

I still couldn't connect properly to continue fighting on my gros tractors (
I check another development branch it became better and more balanced ) But the prestige in paying for captured cities is still skimpy ))))

Hello Nico. Now I understand how it works. Thank you for turning on the light for me.

Very good that you add units for vanilla game which are not in the original game but personally I would like that cavalry and motorbike riders could dismount and fight as ordinary infantry, and some guns could hit direct fire and so on !

Hi Nikivdd,

I may be a lurker here, but I’m a longtime fan of your work, so I’m excited to see you pick up modding for this beautiful game again.

I just have a short question: Do you have any plans for a British campaign? While I enjoy playing other factions as well, such as the Wehrmacht in the Grand Campaign and the Red Army in Eastern Front: Soviet Storm, I’ve always found it to be a shame that the British Army is quite underrepresented among available campaigns and mods for this game. This is why I’ve been resorting to replaying Allied Corps—both the original and your modified version, lol.

In any case, thanks in advance, and keep it going!

There was already British campaign, though I am not sure whether files are available for download. viewtopic.php?t=28988


And there was also the Battle of Britain campaign: viewtopic.php?t=27926

[BeADriver]

The first one is an abandoned project, which is why there are no working links for it. The second one is more of a mini-campaign, which, sadly for me, barely involves any tanks (lol).

I do have a ported version of the British North Africa Campaign from Allied General in my collection, but it is also too short for my liking.
