I started a new campaign and after a few rounds I realized that units receiving replacements are not suppressed anymore (enemy as well as mine)? In the gamerules.pzdat "suppressed replacements" are turned on (1). So what happened? I edited the gamerules.pzdat twice, the first time I turned the soft cap off, the second time I turned it on again (for the new campaign). This was no problem in the past. Has it anything to do with "Sea Lion"?

Soft cap is independent to the suppressed replacement. I always play the same way in gamerules.pzdat:
UseSoftCap 0
SuppressedReplacements 1

And it works as intended. Actually I play PzC V1.24; with V1.21 it was OK too.
May be you unintendedly activated the "old" V1.14 rules? Here both are disabled.

Thanks for your quick reply. I thought about 1.14 too, so I replayed the last turn and - after the victory screen - clicked on "difficulty". There 1.20 was checked, so I assume I have been playing using the 1.20 rules. Worst case would be uninstalling and reinstalling. But maybe it is not necessary.

I don't have Sea Lion yet so I'm kind of shooting in the dark here but a couple of things come to mind.

#1-Does Sea Lion have its own gamesrules file? If so, are you editing that file?
#2-Are you using a mod (w/ GME) with a gamesrules file that's overwriting file that you're editing?

If neither of those, then I'm stumped.

Yes, Sea Lion comes with its own gamerules file.

No, I don't even own Sea Lion right now. But I don't know if the patch 1.24 changed anything? For example hey changed the font on the victory screen unfortunately, so there might be more...

I am not using any mods, too. The only change i made was the one mentioned above. By the way the steam achievements don't work anymore either.

But thanks anyway! I am going to reinstall the game. Maybe it will work again then...

Sorry to bump this old post. However, I was experiencing the same issue, and I believe that I know what is going on.

The text files used by Panzer Corps are Unicode formatted files. Certain text editors (such as textpad which I use) do not correctly save the file after it is edited. After editing the gamerules.pzdat (and corrupting the file with textpad), I checked "My Games\Panzer Corps\Log" and saw the error:

WARNING: Unknown format of game rules file: 0
WARNING: File is ignored. Default rules will be used.

It looks like the game reverts to the "default rules" which are 1.14.

So what did work for me is that I went on steam and verifed the game's integrity, so that it would downloaded the non-corrupted gamerules.pzdat file. Then, instead of editing the file in a textpad, I just used basic notepad.
