Hello eskuche,

The PAK-MOD 1939-1945 Campaign is not the same as the original Panzer Corps 1939-1945 Campaign. See the picture of the Campaignpath below.

I found errors in the victory conditions of Kharkov 42 and Stalingrad. It's fixed now.

Greetings PHCAS

The refugees are also a great effect, clogging up advancements. Very realistic. I have taken a penalty before also in regards to this. In general when I play campaign I never restart a scenario, never. I lost my prize fighter ace "Pik As" in a scenario because he ran out of gas a few hexes short. I take the loss and move on, the " whims of war". If you refuse to restart a scenario the stakes are higher and more enjoyable for me. Prototypes are just that, experimental concepts that last short or long time, nothing more should be expected of them. . I spend a great deal of time choosing deployments or referencing weather and historical record. I love the big maps and pulling of a brazen paratrooper drop in contested air is very satisfying.
The questions, Can I encounter an enemy air ace like Douglas Bader, Ginger Lacy, Sailor Malan,Townsend etc in RAF and get hammered by them or do enemy fighters not have heroes (Are there any photos or references in game to these pilots). Also will refugees sit in a victory hex, or will they move on?. I learn new appreciation of strategy in regards to using scout planes in my core which pays off in later stages of some scenarios. Aside from bugs, I wouldn't change anything.

You guys are very accurate, I can tell from some posts that members are very knowledgable in regards to history.
This game and Strategic Command War In Europe developed by local Canadian Hubert are masterpieces.

Lastly is it better for my core fighters to finish off a kill ,or should I just go for maximum damage inflicting perhaps 7 damage points on a enemy plane. This question would be in regards to quickly accumulating advancement of a particular core pilot.
