Hi there!

I own the Originl Game, All Grand Campaigns, Afrika Korps and Allied Corps. After I played through all of them I started a new Grand Campaign Series a while ago.
Shortly my PC crashed (Not because of PG) and I had to buy a new one. Luckily all my actual Panzer General Files and the Save Games were on an extern harddrive.
Now I wanted to start Panzer General on this PC again, but it says Files are missing, damaged etc. and the game has to be reinstalled.

My Question: Is it enough to install one of my PG Disks randomly and do an update, or have I to install all of them maybe in a special order? The old data is still on my new PC, so I hope, after one start it will recognize them...
Will Missions, Maps and expecially Units be missing, If I install f.e. only Afrika Corps?

Thanks!

You can get away with installing only one of the three "stand alone" parts of Panzer Corps (Wehrmachtm AK, AC) and the DLCs if you want to play the Grand Campaign. You won't be missing any units if you install only parts of the game but you won't be able to play the campaigns and MP missions from the expansions you haven't installed. Considering you won't save much hard disc space anyway i think it's best to install all the game parts you own.

Best to install the game in the following order. Simply skip the parts you do not own. (Different order will work as well but this way you save yourself as much patching time as possible):
1. PC: Wehrmacht
2. PC: Afrika Corps
3. PC: Allied Corps
4 DLC's in chronological order or the Mega Pack
5. Patch the game to the newest version

The most important bit is to always patch the game after you installed everything else so everything gets updated. If you decide to not install any parts of the game and install them at some later point you should reapply the latest patch to make sure everything is up to date.
