More Geographic and Historical Context for scenarios
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 2:09 am
I'd like to see more geographic and historical context in the briefings before each scenario in Panzer Corps 2. The briefings usually give a tactical tidbit like "watch out for a counter-attack from the south," but more strategic context would be great. Anybody who has played the Grand Campaign knows that winning all the battles still doesn't mean you win the war, so the briefings should give a broader picture of what is happening around my army and in other theaters of the war (i.e. General So and So is driving towards Leningrad to the north, etc.).
Keeping with this would be including cutscenes or animations showing where my scenario fits into the broader picture of the war. For instance, in the Russia scenarios it breaks the immersion a bit when I don't have to worry about attacks coming from off screen in the north or south. A short briefing showing the front line and the supporting units on my flanks would help suspend that disbelief, and add context. Most players are history buffs, so leaving out the historical big picture of the various fronts seems like a mistake.
(I play only on iPad, so if the computer version has this already, please ignore).
