This is just amazing and outstanding. I have finished my mod of my equipment file and units (which is mostly a huge compilation of other modder's mods and their ideas used my way) and i have almost finished playing through all of the DL content. I will then let my best friend try it, and if he doesn't find any bugs I will upload it to the forum. I am on track with both work and PC to be available to help you beta test as I have all of the month of December off (due to comp days from working weekends). I could also help you with additions to the library, or proof reading the English versions?

In the annals and legend of Panzer Corps, I am certain Chris has established his right to "sainthood". Great works and sacrifice given with humility and generosity always make a saint don't you think?

That would be really awesome Bob..I certainly need a helping hand with the library and..well ..probably any english text...
As well I wanna add some PzC East Manual and Games Concept Guide to the library so that everybody can read it while in-game.
So I would write the raw thingi and a native english speaker would have to rephrase it if neccessary so that it makes some sense

From OKW Diary:
May 1941...Army Group South deployment is in progress...
Panzer Group 1, 6th Army, 17th Army and the Slovakian Corps have moved into positions.
Army reserves consisting of 1st LSSAH, 13th Panzer Division, 97th,100th,101th Mountain Divisions and 168th,16th,25th Infantry Divisions
have moved into the rear area...
11th Army, 3rd and 4th Romanian Army, the Hungarian Corps nad Army Group Reserves and additional OKH reserves are preparing to move into their staging areas...
Intelligence reports that the russian deployment is gaining steam. By now an estimated 170 divisions have already been deployed. OKH thinks that time is of the essence now since in May 1941 another 800.000 russian reservists have been conscripted...

I would enjoy helping with English phrasing too St. Chris...

Chris, wait

...if you let the Russians attack first, maybe you will not look so evil and crazy to the GP

Thnx Balrog, thats awesome. There will be a bunch of texts...

Thnx again for offering help guys..its much needed

Chris, wait
...if you let the Russians attack first, maybe you will not look so evil and crazy to the GP

On April 7th,1941 General Halder wrote the following in his personal diary:
"The structuring of the russian troops makes one think. If I ignore for a moment the catchword that the russians would not attack us self-motivated, one has to admit that the russian structuring is very well enabling them to pass instantly over to an
attack formation, which would really cause us some serious trouble right now....."

Iam only exactly rephrasing the feelings among the german high command back then......
...a bit of a story around this thingi will spice up the whole thing a bit...

Whatever you need and whenever you need it,I'll be waiting

Hey ...that really sounds like a MAC (Military Airlift Command ) motto...or a really bad country/western song

jajajaja ...thnx Bob...
hmmm....I love good western btw...the reeeeal western...the ol stuff from the golden era...I have quite a bunch of these
Tex Ritter, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Frankie Lane, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Gene Autry, Johnny Cash among others
my absolute all time favorites are the El Dorado Theme (John Wayne movie) sung by Bevin Alexander, Gunfight At Ok Corral (Movie Theme Burt Lancaster/Kirk Douglas) sung by Frankie Lane, the High Noon Theme (Do not forsake me, Oh my darling) (Gary Cooper movie) sung by Tex Ritter...ahhh..there are quite a few more like
North to Alaska by Johnny Horton, My Rifle ,My Pony and Me by Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson both from the same movie North to Alaska (John Wayne), River of no Return (Robert Mituchum/Marylin Monroe) by Tennessee Ernie Ford...Three ten to Yuma by Frankie Lane
Ring of Fire, Ghostriders in the Sky by Johhny Cash...
oh and there is this absolute genius version of "Ghost"- Riders in the Sky by Vaughn Monroe from 1949...one gotta love it...pure cowboy stuff...no fancy electronic crap...ahh..list gets bigger and bigger...all real gems...so many memories of my boyhood ...I wanna go back right now ...

[VPaulus]

I too like some good Western music.


I still drop a tear when I hear this:




I too want to go back.

Ya Airborne, we had those ghastly USAF MAC indoctrination films with theme music that belonged more to porn movies... not that I've seen anything like that...
Wish we could pick our PzC background music like Chris and VP listed above ~ or some Ennio Morricone... or even "I've Been Working on the Railroad" from Kelly's Heroes where the Shermans attacked the German unit at the railyard

Not to get too off-topic,but you guys forgot this one:

The Good,,The Bad and The Ugly

[naughtybalrog]

The greatest WW II battle and music scene ever done on the silver screen.

Sorry for off-topic Chris but this should be mandatory viewing for all PzC players...

[Chris10]

Not to get too off-topic,but you guys forgot this one:

...but...this is not western music
the spaghetti westerns were great but their soundtracks can hardly be considered country/western music, could it ?

The greatest WW II battle and music scene ever done on the silver screen.

yeah...Oddball and his magic shermans...I wonder if they ever came across Wittmann in his Tiger I ?...

Army Group south has completed deployment
3rd and 4 th Romanian Army have moved into positions too
Pending operations are the Hungarian Corps, Romanian, Slovakian, Croatian, Bulgarian and Hungarian stock units, Finnish Army Corps and Finnish stock units...German stock units (AA mostly) , German Baltic Fleet and Air Fleets and Air Forces will be placed last.

OVERALL UNIT COUNT 289 UNTIL NOW

Oh..and just on a side note:
95+% of all Infantry and Tank Units have their real names and positions...
Overall about 90% of all ground units have their real names.
Rest 10% is owed to engine limitations to model more sophisticated unit compositions so I had to make use of artistic freedom

[Chris10]

As well I finally got the UI to work the way I want it to work...
The vanilla UI aligned the unit names for the "hoover over" unit tooltip on the middle and the right
which looked very odd...
Now it works like charm..compare the stats boxes
oh..and sry..naming scheme will follow german abbreviations and naming convention...after all its the Wehrmacht....
