Italian Victory Win Afrika Corps campaign without buying any German core units. Difficulty Colonel or higher.

This means that I can use those German units that I give at the beginning of campaing and upgrade them, but I can not buy new German - only Italian?
Or even those German that start campaing must be disbanded and fight only with Italian units?

My understanding is that you can use the starting core Germans, as long as you don't buy new ones. I am doubtful about upgrade though - I consider that buying a new unit and deleting the old one.

Since the upgrade saved the name, experience, character and history of the unit, then, IMHO, it is unlikely "buying a new unit and deleting the old one"

Maybe it was asked before but - why don't achievements pop up in right bottom corner as in all other Steam games? I have to close the game or alt-tab in order to see which achievement I got. This kills the feeling of getting achievement message instantly.

The steam overlay doesn't work with Panzer Corps, therefore no popups.

Well that sucks. Was it that hard to create Steam overlays?

Excellent achievements!

I wonder, if you can get the Rommel, Manstein, Guderian, achievements while playing Allied corps with similar difficulty, which have different names ?

I completed an AC campaign on Montgomery difficulty, and didn't get the Rommel Achievement.

For the multiplayer gladiator achievements is there anyway to check progress? I think I have played all the panzer corps maps but no Wehrmacht Gladiator achievement. Does it count as completed if your opponent surrenders?

"For the multiplayer gladiator achievements is there anyway to check progress? I think I have played all the panzer corps maps but no Wehrmacht Gladiator achievement. Does it count as completed if your opponent surrenders?"

No, it doesn't count. Which is frustrating because it isn't your fault if an opponent bails on you.

BTW It is not clear if the MP Gladiator achievement requires you to play once on every MP maps, or also the solo maps?

Have you got the achievement? Just wondering since steam stats say 0.0% of the player base has it so I'm wondering if it's not bugged.

No I do not.
I am working to try and achieve it and have maybe 5 more scenarios to go to try to achieve it, but if there is a bug why even bother trying.

Ugh

Does it also have 0% for the player base for Afrika Corps and Allied Corps, because I was going to try for those as well.
I love trying for arbitrary achievements.

I just checked this when I went home.
There is no one that has gotten any of the Afrika Corps, Allied Corps, or Wehrmacht Core MP maps achievement.

Can one of the moderators comment?
Is this a bug of some kind, because I doubt with the number of players and crazy little achiever's like me, you would think there would be someone who has achieved one of these by now?
I know that I personally have 41 of the 84 achievements.
I was hoping eventually to get all 84, but now looks like it may not be possible.

I agree. I think they are bugged. I know I played through all of the Panzer Corps maps w/o any surrenders now and no achievement.

What if someone surrenders and you replay the same scenario with someone else - does it ignore the surrender??

A clarification from the devs on the multiplayer achievements would be greatly appreciated.
It take a very long time to play through all the maps. Moreover some scenarios are not fun at all in MP whatever the handicap.

Man!?!
I am still waiting for the developers to comment on the multiplayer achievements, if they are even possible.

In my Steam Achievements. I have just received the $20000 prestige achievement and I have a total of 41 out of the 84.

How are other players doing?

78 out of 84 for me, missing the MP ones.

I see 4 mp achievements on the list

Wehrmacht Gladiator Play a multiplayer game on every map from Panzer Corps Wehrmacht
Afrika Gladiator Play a multiplayer game on every map from Panzer Corps Afrika Korps
Allied Gladiator Play a multiplayer game on every map from Panzer Corps Allied Corps
Total Gladiator Play a multiplayer game on every map

So that leaves 1 question remaining:
What are the other 2 achievements yet to be accomplished for Delta66

No wonder I am having such difficulty at winning against you Delta, you are a machine.
