With this update, players can now enjoy an enhanced multiplayer experience with exciting new maps. This is also the debut for free Multiplayer “Chess Maps” that offer a fresh and strategic gameplay experience.



In addition to the new chess maps, players will also have access to 12 classic multiplayer maps:

- Poland North

- Balaton
- Rhine
- Berlin

These maps have been adapted from the 2021 World Championship tournament and are designed to offer challenging and competitive battles for players of all skill levels.

To celebrate the release of the new Multiplayer Chess Maps, we are really excited to announce the first Panzer Corps 2 Chess Maps Tournament.



Do not miss the chance to sign-up for the tournament. You can sign-up here: https://www.slitherine.com/tournaments.

The first round will commence on Monday, 8 May 2023. No further entries can be accepted after the tournament has begun.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

All these new MP contents are are excellent news !

Maybe you should create a dedicated topic in the « tournament » section in the forum to be sure to give maximum visibility to the chess tournament.
Besides, I’m sure everyone will be pleased to get more info about this tournament (rules etc..)

A few quick feedbacks:

Balaton => no deployment phase anymore (compared to WC2021 and beta) which can be a good solution to solve the problem of balancing a scenario when you let the players build their army. However, with the nerf of SU/ISU152, Soviets begin with 226/222 core slots.

Berlin => same problem as Balaton: Soviets begin with 199/195.
The complete re-work of the map is welcomed, as the WC2021 map was too big, too much core slots, etc.. This was a too much chaotic battle. I don't have tested the new version yet though (so I don't know if it is balanced)
Also, briefing mentions "10 entrenchment level" German units, which is not the case anymore with the rework. This sentence could be removed
