Hi All,

first of all kudos to Rudankort and the team behind PanzerCorps.

Now, I want to buy everything connected to Panzer Corps but I'm really confused about two issues: versions and patches. So let me try write it down and you guys tell me if this is how it works.

- If I want to play only the Panzer Corps Wehrmacht campaign, I need to purchase PC "Vanilla" which is 25 €
- If I want to play only the Afrika Corps campaign, I need to purchase PC:AfricaCorps which costs 17 €
- If I want to play only the Allied Campaign, I need to purchase PC:AlliedCorps 25 €
- If I want to play the Grand Campaign I need to buy Grand Campaign mega Pack which is 33 € plus Wehrmacht or Afrika Korps for a total of 58€ or 50€, respectively)
- Patches (for example the 1.20 patch) apply to all three (Wehrmacht, Afrika, Allied) versions, but is currently semi-broken for Grand Campaign

And now my questions:
- Do changes due to equipment tables, new rules (shifting goals) and new units from, say Afrika or Allied Corps apply to the Grand Campaign or Wehrmacht? If not, what changes do apply to Wehrmacht and GC?
- Is there going to be a bundle (in the near future) of Wehrmacht, GC and Afrika Corps, as a "German side" kind of pack? I'm asking because the current cost to acquire it would be around 75€? Ugh. A 100€ if I include Allied Corps.
- i Have an iPad, so will Afrika Korps, and Grand Campaigns be also available for iPad? I'm asking because this is exactly the kind of game I would like to play on it. I'm asking because if I have to cash out 200€ for both the PC and iPad versions of the game(s), I won't be happy
- Is there a MAC (OSX) version planned?

Thanx in advance!

So far everything is correct. I didn't double check the prices tho so can't vouch for their correctness. If you purchase more then one they integrate into one program and you can chose which campaign you want to play.

- If I want to play the Grand Campaign I need to buy Grand Campaign mega Pack which is 33 € plus Wehrmacht or Afrika Korps for a total of 58€ or 50€, respectively)

Grand Campaign works as well with Allied Corps tho you will possibly miss the "German" UI version. I am not sure about the UI bit tho.

- Patches (for example the 1.20 patch) apply to all three (Wehrmacht, Afrika, Allied) versions, but is currently semi-broken for Grand Campaign

Yes correct and the patch for the Grand Campaign is not as much broken as it's not passing the freshly introduced advanced options down to the GC but there is an replacement executable on the forums which fixes this. You just currently only can play the GC with the old 1.14 rules not with the new 1.20 rules. Considering the GC was designed and balanced with the 1.14 rules in place lets consider it half working.

And now my questions:
- Do changes due to equipment tables, new rules (shifting goals) and new units from, say Afrika or Allied Corps apply to the Grand Campaign or Wehrmacht? If not, what changes do apply to Wehrmacht and GC?

The patches and all the changes apply to every "version" of the game. Obviously old scenarios from for example PC:Wehrmacht would have to be redone to include the new functions introduced for example in Afrika Corps but even if you only own PC:Wehrmacht you can use all the advanced features like objective changing in the middle of a scenario in your custom scenarios. The Grand Campaign DLC's for example was reworked before they was released as Mega Pack to utilize some of the new functions. New units added are available for your custom scenarios as well but obviously they won't magically appear in old scenarios.

- Is there going to be a bundle (in the near future) of Wehrmacht, GC and Afrika Corps, as a "German side" kind of pack? I'm asking because the current cost to acquire it would be around 75€? Ugh. A 100€ if I include Allied Corps.

I have no idea here. This is a question probably only Ian can answer.

- i Have an iPad, so will Afrika Korps, and Grand Campaigns be also available for iPad? I'm asking because this is exactly the kind of game I would like to play on it. I'm asking because if I have to cash out 200€ for both the PC and iPad versions of the game(s), I won't be happy
- Is there a MAC (OSX) version planned?

Yes to both but there is no fixed ETA on any of them yet. Regarding the IPad version have a look here.

Thanx in advance!

I hope this answers your questions

EDIT: Edited part of my answer as i misunderstood the question initially.

Okay thanx! I have only one more question: Can I purchase newly added units (in say Afrika Corps) in Wehrmacht campaign?
For example, there's a new unit in Afrika Korps called PZII Flamm. Obviously I don't expect it to be present as an aux unit on any Wehrmacht campaign maps, but is it purchasable/upgradeable for the player as a core unit?

Yes, you can purchase them. Please note that if you update your Panzer Corps game with the last patch, you'll have access to all the units that came with other expansions. The only thing you don't have access is to the expansion campaigns and scenarios. The rest, new units or any new feature, is freely distributed with the patches.
