The Multiplayer Update for Panzer Corps 2 is now live and ready for action on Steam, GoG, Epic, and Slitherine website (this update will be coming soon on Windows Store) There are some pretty large maps with hundreds of individually configured and scripted units spread across them, but don’t forget that fancy new fast AI turn if you don’t want to watch all of these units take their actions individually! This kind of scenario design has had a lot of unusual side effects and really opened up Axis Operations 1945 to have a lot more storytelling of the situation Germany and its Wehrmacht found itself in the final months of the war. This was an especially delicate balance to strike, because we needed scenarios designed in such a way that they would be possible for players to succeed in some way to continue their overall campaign, but also designed that if players tried to push further than their basic objectives, overwhelming Allied forces are ready to grind your now prestige starved force into dust. On top of this, the days of conquering all victory hexes and sweeping all enemy units from the entire map are long past. These units can then be pressed into service to try and plug gaps in your lines, or they too can be disbanded for prestige to keep your main Panzer force operational. Other reward systems have also been reworked to directly deposit captured enemy vehicles straight to the player reserve. Instead of prestige allotments, the player will be expected to begin to salvage and disband their reserve units in an attempt to keep their main fighting force fit enough to continue the struggle. Prestige awards have been practically eliminated, to try and show how crippling German’s supply situation had become by this stage in the war. To properly tell this story, Axis Operations 1945 has some very unusual scenario designs behind it. How could the German Wehrmacht, famous for such incredible victories across Western and Eastern Europe, seem to disintegrate so quickly in a matter of months? We originally thought it would be a pretty obvious course to chart, just pick real battles from history and recreate them in Panzer Corps 2.īut as we researched the final months of the War in Europe, we found the situations and history to be extremely complicated. For a campaign that is doing as much as possible to stay true to historical outcomes, there is a lot to say about Historical 1945.
