Forward to Baghdad)))

Forward to Baghdad!

Think big! Tokyo should be the end of the eastern route!

I'm rather worried about Tiger H tanks (1/10/1942) in the Second Battle of El Alamein (23/10 - 11/11/1942) later. Oh, this will be fun smashing Matilda II tanks left and right there. That would definitely justify the crossing of the Nile and Suez later!

If Axis landing in Malta is expected , who knows if our pioneers will have to build a bridge over the Nile.

The Japanese company ended ... in Australia. Everything can be)))

Tiger in El Alamein battle
The first Tigers appeared in Africa 2 weeks after El Alamein ....
It will be difficult for me to accept such a situation.
They can appear after the victorious battle of El Alamein in the next scenarios ...

OOOOOOOO DAK!!!! (almost faints). Just a little side note here guys, my dad was USAF during the 60's and we spent 4 years in Libya ('62-'66) at Wheelus AFB. I was in 2nd-6th grade so a little young at the time and not quite yet heavily into WW2 history. Wish I had been a little older....

Great news ! Looking forward to it
Wish the artistocrats wouldn't go for all these huge gamechanging mechanics every DLC, instead add more unit types, diversify troops and stop with the darn resource starvation.
Had a blast with Panzerkrieg, so looking forward to this one so much, but i have serious concerns as well.

Aw, I wanted a China DLC. Oh well. Next time.
Afrika Korps is cool too though.

Also applied for beta.

China would be great in future but I hope tha devs will make another Japanese campaign in south east Asia too

Beta test has started yet?

No, it wasn't.

Awesome!!!

Two quick questions if I may:
1. When does the beta start?
2. How long was Panzerkrieg beta?

Just trying to gouge an estimate (using non-proprietary information) of when to expect the DLC.

ad 1. Nobody knows (but probably soon... )
ad 2. about 2-2,5 months

Brilliant- thank you!

I hoped twich of today was about sandstorm, not midway....

Aristocrats, could you give us any info like new units list or scenarios list??

Pleeeeese!!!!

Maybe any new screenshot with new units so we can spent time to guess it.... ?!?

Something I'm very interested in is we're to get sandstorms. This, although I'm speculating, will be a game impacting weather effect. To my knowledge weather influencing the game is a totally new feature, please correct me if I'm wrong.

To this end, does this mean the game can now potentially support fog, rain, cloud cover etc impacting gameplay?

I hope we'll get some weather conditions affecting air and maybe ground conditions.
One of the things I like about PzC is the grounding of air units and the weather prediction for the next turn.
Adds to the gameplay.
