Oh nice, this game out sooner than expected.

just downloaded latest update beta and had a quick look. The borders around units is much clearer, I can now perfectly see Core and Aux units. I also like the resolution settings at start up. Will have another go tomorrow when I have more time and let you know my further thoughts.

RC2 is looking sharp! I'll post more once I've had some time to look around more but the first glance is impressive.

All the changes are great, but having the resolution switch available is outstanding.

Can I use a RC1 save game with RC2?

i try to open a custom scenario but the list seems empty.

first of all a encomium to programmers: in many years I have never seen a pre release so stable!
Now the game is much more balanced, excellent small interventions at the various attacks.
Only note: units on the battlefield are not immediately recognizable because of 'too small colored icon and similar color for the units of all factions!

Ps. Sorry for the bad english

Victory conditions description in turn splash screen (for all MP, SP and campaign scenarios started in latest version)

Does this mean the information can't be accessed *during* a turn?

@zuekamo: I think that's because of the new folder structure - see

New load screen caused a change in folder structure - custom scens must be placed in My Docs/My Games/Panzer Corps/Scenario folder or they won't be visible in the game.

Downloaded with no problem.

Loaded with no problems.

Love the ability to set resolution.

Read the changes above.

It will tell what to do.

- New Core/Auxiliary unit colouring

I don't see the difference? Can someone show me a shot of what this is supposed to look like?

I don't have a screen shot but the aux units don't look much different but the core ones have a much more obvious gold border now.

With RC2 I can't select and load a game by double-clicking any more. Please make that available again.

I noticed this as well and it also affects saving. Much more convenient to double click, than click/move cursor/click again.

Thumbs up to this. Well done. Much clearer.
Please add me to the throng wanting the "I-got-use-to-the-double-click" - can we have that back, pretty please, with sugar on top (as the Pulp Fiction line goes.)

I realize the save games are now saved withthe date\time in the name, does this mean as well that they will be searchable in date order (since it's in the name)?

Maybe you could also integrate an option in the splash screen to deactivate the intro videos.

Just click the mouse on it when you open PzC. It will go straight to the menu screen.
