Panzer Corps’ First Standalone Expansion Inbound

Posted on July 10, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Slitherine and Matrix Games have announced the first standalone expansion for their turn-based wargame Panzer Corps, entitled Panzer Corps: Afrika Corps. As the name suggests, this expansion will put you in control of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s Deutsches Afrikakorps as you attempt to push Britain out of the Middle East. Particularly successful players will even have an opportunity to advance into British India. Grognards will get a chance to outshine the Desert Fox once the expansion is released on the 31st of this month.

In addition to this new expansion, the original Panzer Crops is now on sale for 33% off. The sale lasts until the 15th, so people interested in conquering hexes for the Reich may want to look into the sale. You may read my review of the original Panzer Corps here and check out some of Afrika Corps’ features after the jump.Read More

New Panzer Corps DLC Released

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Slitherine and Matrix Games have just announced the release of the Panzer Corps Grand Campaign ’45 East DLC. This is the seventh DLC for Panzer Corps, the turn based strategy game by The Lordz Games Studio.

As the name suggests, this DLC campaign focuses on the final months of the war from the German perspective. Things aren’t looking too good for the Wehrmacht as most of the maps take place in (then) German territories like Königsberg, Breslau, and Berlin.

If you are unfamiliar with Panzer Corps, it is an excellent Panzer General clone. The vanilla campaign is fairly epic, but the DLC campaigns upped the ante with gigantic maps and more varied objectives than “kill everybody and take their hexes.” If this sounds interesting to you, then try out the demo here. Read on for more information about the DLC and an unrelated music video featuring scenes from a Stalin era Soviet film about the battle for Berlin.

Panzer Corps Grand Campaign ’44 East DLC Released

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Publishers Slitherine and Matrix Games have just announced the release of  Panzer Corps Grand Campaign ’44 East. This is the sixth downloadable content pack for The Lordz Games Studio’s turn based strategy game Panzer Corps.

The DLC covers the great Soviet successes following the failed German offensive at Kursk in 1943. Expect to see missions based on the Soviet winter offensive of 1944, which brought the Soviets to the borders of Romania and Estonia; Operation Bagration, which practically destroyed Germany’s once mighty Army Group Center and liberated modern day Belarus; the Warsaw uprising; and (if the player is doing poorly) a slightly earlier invasion of Budapest (the historical Siege of Budapest began on December 29, 1944).

The full scenario list is as follows: Korsun Pocket, Korsun Breakout, Narva, Strachwitz Offensive, Jassy Kishinev, Poltava, Mogilev, Babruysk, Minsk44, Vilna, Warsaw Uprising, Return to Kishinev, and Budapest44.
