Reconsidering campaign path eastern front

[Galland]

Hey
Actually playing PC Wehrmacht. I tried to chose somehow a "historical" way and got a little confused with the campaign path at the eastern front.
Why I have to do Moscow twice when I decide to skip Sea Lion 42 to go for Stalingrad? Isn't Kursk not supposed to happen when Stalingrad leads to a DV?
Maybe a Sea Lion 43 would make sense instead of another Moscow.

I mentioned this some time ago that Stalingrad success pretty much excludes the Kharkov and kursk offensives, but yeah...

Hi, the Panzer Corps default campaign is very much like Panzer General. The "America" scenarios and the exclusion of Africa scenarios are the only differences in the campaign path.

This is an inherited flaw, but Panzer Corps was never guaranteed to be as successful as it became. So it was initially following very closely in Panzer General's footsteps, as the aging game was often no longer that pretty and fun to play. There were only few and carefully considered improvements over the classic.

It is in the Grand Campaign where Panzer Corps absolutely comes to its own and surpasses the old General series. This is also reflected in the quality of the scenarios and rules/mechanics of the later Afrika/Allied Corps campaign scenarios.


Panzer Corps has this problem of game vs history, some people like alternative scenarios and being able to turn the tide of an entire game/war, I usually prefer following history and intentionally settled for minor victories and losses in the original Panzer General.

-> So, shameless 2nd plug, judging from your wishes to rather experience these historical battles... get the Grand Campaign DLCs, you will not be disappointed.
