previewing balanced scenarios

[Kriegsheld]

OK. I think I have a decent feel for the game and am ready for some PBEM. Is it possible to preview the balanced scenarios available for multiplayer games before you commit to playing a game (e.g., see both sides, even play a few hotseat turns to get a feel for the map and unit match-ups)?

Yes there is. Go to your main program folder and copy the MP maps from the Data folder (Copy both the Pzloc and Pzscn files). There are 10 maps and they are listed below. Then, create a folder called Scenario in My Documents/My Games/Panzer Corps (you'll see other folders in there called Log and Save). Paste the maps inside the Scenario folder. Now, when you start the game, go to the Scenarios Menu and scroll to the bottom. There will be a selection called Custom. Click on that and the maps will show up on a list. You can now play them in Hot Seat Mode. Also, this is where you would put custom SP or MP maps and play them (if interested, there are some custom maps in the Scenario Design section of the forum). There are also custom campaigns, but they require some backing up of files unless you use the Generic Mod Enabler app (highly recommended).

List of MP maps: Battle of the Bzura, Bersaglieri and the Bear, Bocage Breakout, Hunters in the Atlantic, Hylan Valley, Operation Huntress, Partisan Uprising, The Frozen North, Urban Warfare, and War Games.

Thanks much. It looks like it worked perfectly. Question: Are the two objective hexes in the center of the Frozen North game supposed to be blank, or am I still missing a file?

No, I believe those are neutral by design and only one is a victory hex, the other is just a neutral city. You can capture it for the Prestige, though.

Great. It looks like I'm ready to go. I appreciate the really quick, helpful responses.

When you're ready, let me know, it would be great to be in combat again! Cheers
