Missed aTrick??

[2010sjones2010]

I am a massive fan of the Panzercorps series and have been there on the computer as soon as the latest installment was ready to download and played it all the time and avidly awaited the next installment (sad I know ). When Afrikacorps came out as a stand alone product I thought to my self, has Slitherine missed a trick here? This is because Panzercorps kept me hanging on in anticipation for the next release of a DLC allowing me to replay my latest DLC to build up my forces and hone my skills. Within a couple of years I had over 150 scenarios covering the whole of WWII from the German perspective. I thought this could be done with Afrikacorps, obviously not as many as 150+ scenarios but certainly a lot more than 24. I'm sorry to say that once I had completed Afrikacorps I found myself going back to Panzercorps and have not played it since. However I keep playing Panzercorps over and over again due to its shear size. Well I thought with the release of Allied Corps I could look forward to another series of 10 DLCs with over 150 scenarios from the Allied prospective. But no! Slitherine has decided to limit the whole of the Allied campaign to 30 scenarios . I have held back from purchasing Allied Corps for this reason which is a shame and I will continue with Panzercorps (Still stuck getting around Bastogne ). Would Slitherine entertain the idea of using Allied Corps as a base game and introduce a series of DLC's to fill in the gaps of what could have been?? . Also going forward the concept of 150+ scenarios over a period of time for future releases ie the Soviets and The Pacific campaigns would be awesome and personally the way to go for future releases

P.S Loving the new graphics and colours on the latest update

You should go to the Scenario Mod section. You will find a great deal offered in variety, mods to add on, etc. You're really missing a lot by not going and taking advantage of all the outstanding mods and discussion. There is NO limit practically for scenarios, etc.

Already there my friend Fighting my through the Eastern front at the moment on GTPG Grand Campaign. I have come across some of the best scenarios I have ever played from Spain to Sweden to the initial invasion of Russia. These guys need to be promoted

The problem is that everyone wants something different. If there is demand for an Allied GC we can look in to it but we thought you might be overdosing on PzC by now

[2010sjones2010]

Yeah!! Its great You guys have done such a great job of breathing new life into this old classic. Along with the MOD guys there is so much to play its great. It would have been nice though to have been able to overdose on the Allies

Demand? I expected you were already hard at work making an Allied GC

Seriously the GC really - for me at least - is the best thing about PzC, I really love those long campaigns and building up your core forces.

I agree. As for the overdosing... well I guess that is true for some people but I'm pretty sure the overdose is more about playing the German forces than it is about playing this game and the engine. I'm pretty sure that the Allied side has brought an entirely new fresh air to the game and I'm nearly 100% sure that an Allied and later even a Soviet GC would definitely sell very well. Every new nation/side brings a totally fresh wind because you have different battles different units you need to learn about, different tacits to try out, different enemies (after all the allied fight the Italiens at first and the Soviets will probably end up fighting the finns first) So I'm pretty sure the overdosing is not the case when it comes to this new fresh look at things. And from what I read here in the community and in other places, the GC was really what kicked the enthusiasm for this game to a new high. To me it is certainly the biggest selling point when telling other people about this game: "Man they have a campaign that has over a hundred scenarios!" People who knew PG usually go nuts when they hear that and immediately wanna try that out. These long campaigns really sell the game to people. The long campaigns make the replayability so much bigger. You simply take forever for a single playthrough and then you haven't even seen all paths yet. They are also great because even in the winning paths they offer different branches, so you can later play those other branches without having to lose on purpose like in most of the standard campaigns. I mean I loved Afrika Korps, but the lenght of that campaign was also very nice. To me the length is definately a selling point and with all the work that has gone into extending the available units for the Allied side, I think it would be a waste not to make a GC with them.

As for me personally... heck I haven't even finished the German GC yet BUt I can tell you now: if you keep up the level of quality you can bet I'll buy every DLC on sight, even if I will probably only be able to play it a year later because I can't keep up

If you guys say at some point "Ok, we're done with this game, we want to work on a sequal and put some new great features in that simply cannot be built into PzC or wouldnt make sense there", fine. But I really think you should wait a bit longer with that.

But one thing you need to know: If you do an Allied Corps GC you better be prepared to do a soviet one also And I'm betting that you will sell both. I'm not sure of course whether the Grand Campaign was a big hit and as good a money source as the main game was. But if it was in any way profitable I'd certainly go for it if I were you. I'm sure the demand is there and you'd really be making a statement here for how to deliver continuously good quality DLC because the player base wants you to. You're pretty unique on that already anyway. If you go for another DLC I think this game will be known to be the best supported wargame ever.
