If you played the previous DLCs, you can actually import your army between the campaigns, which is a super cool feature that I unfortunately did not get to use, having not finished the previous campaign.
#Panzer corps vs panzer corps 2 series#
Your army starts out pretty well-seasoned, if you are just jumping into the DLC series now. The conflict in the Balkans is certainly largely overlooked, and it’s nice to see the perspective on it from Panzer Corps. The Balkans themselves are a nice detour that gives some nice diversity to the current pantheon of World War 2 wargames, which seem to keep treading the same stomping grounds of North Africa, Normandy, Stalingrad, Normandy, Market Garden, Normandy, and Normandy. To that point, Panzer Corps 2 has never been a game that focuses on the “dirtier” aspects of the war, and while Joe and I both have thoughts on that (listen to episode 3 of the podcast for more thoughts on that), but even so, a different story beat is nice to break up the monotony of “oh great, World War 2 again.”
The following scenarios are more serious, but I admit that the levity of the start was a nice change of pace from the usual serious tone of these missions. You start off on what I like to call “the beach episode” of the German campaign, as you must lead a small force to link up with Prince Paul of Yugoslavia as the rest of your army relaxes by a lake (seriously). But the Germans were very active in the Balkans in early 1941, before the push up into the USSR proper, and the campaign reflects this. The several DLCs that have released since then have focused on the lesser-known areas of the war, and 1941 is no exception.įor starters, when most people hear 1941, they think of Stalingrad, Barbarossa, and that’s pretty much it. The campaign followed a German army along several historical and non-historical paths in the well-known romps across Europe.
The base game of Panzer Corps 2 delivered one of the best turn-based strategy experiences in a WW2 setting in the last several years, up there with Unity of Command 2 in terms of quality.

Panzer Corps 2, I wish I knew how to quit you.
