I'm sorry if you missed the posts but it has been discussed in a number of places. I don't remember where exactly but I remember a discussion on a Twitter feed. As you can imagine we don't have time to read and reply to every post on all the forums but we do our best!

I can certainly understand that Ian. Good luck with the launch.


Twitter? That's what the birds do when I fill the feeders.

Here is a full break down now its out! This was in response to a post that didn't understand why games cost more than $10 and were aghast that you had to pay for IAP as well.

Panzer Corps is the full game that released at £29.99 on PC. This is what you are buying when you buy Panzer Corps. This is a full complete game with ~30 missions which cover the entire war from Poland to Berlin with some what if scenarios thrown in.

We later released 10 Grand Campaign expansions which have about 15 missions each and deal with the war in much greater detail. They bolt together to give you over 150 missions for the entire war. This is an enormous amount of content. There are literally hundreds of hours of gameplay for a single play through and there are branches for replay value. These are £2.99 each.

We also released 2 sequels to Panzer Corps. They are fully featured and the same amount of content as the original game. Allied Corps and Afrika Korps are full stand alone games on PC selling ~for £19.99 and on iPad for £10.49.

Each IAP is an expansion, not a part of the game that is taken off to charge for as an IAP. You get a full game for the base price. Obviously we can't give 12 expansions away for free - so they are available as IAP. You don't need them at all but if you like the game you can grab them.

So if I understand you correctly the "give me everything option". Will cost $70.87? Or will it be a little cheaper? Don't get me wrong I like that price!!

Quite reasonable. Does the game support saves?

[Missouri_Rebel]

Hopefully it is a good port unlike the BA one which I thought to be rather clunky.

[rodney727]

What about cheat codes and rename units?

[IainMcNeil]

Yes you can rename units. In the unit detail panel tap on the name. There are cheat codes yes but I couldn't possibly tell you how to access them (I don't remember unfortunately but I'm sure Alex will remind us )

I think the BA port was great personally. I much prefer playing on the iPad to PC. Same goes for PzC although if anything its an even better version as it has smooth pinch zoom

[IainMcNeil]

Sorry forgot to answer saves. I'm not sure what that means but you can have as many saved games as you like if that answers the question? You have a list and can name them etc as on PC. It also has autosaves every turn.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Yes it does answer the question. Now I'll wait until it comes onto the store in These States. Search comes up empty.

I'm going to purchase PzC once it's available at German AppStore. Even I think the price is a bit over the top for an iPad game.

[rodney727]

How so? If you bought the same game with everything for PC it would be $110. 59.99 for the iPad is a steal! Same game on a smaller screen but very portable unlike my laptop.

Not really. € 3,- for additional DLC campaigns sounds ok, but the ballpark for AppStore games is usually 10 bucks or below. Even top-priced titles as Final Fantasy don't sell for more than € 14,99. Calling 20 bucks is nothing what brings one into top 10 of paid or grossing games.

[IainMcNeil]

We're at number 2 in Board Games in New Zealand where it has just launched. No 51 in all games. I expect it to rise tomorrow as the release really kicks in. Hoping it will do as well elsewhere!

[Horvo]

I'm sorry for my confusion, but all of the pricing information doesn't make sense to me. (I don't understand how the whole package would cost $110 on the pc. Maybe the christmas sale is affecting that.) Unfortunately I do not know the conversion rates either. So does $60 get you PC and all the IAPs, or is it $20 for PC and $60 for all of the IAPs? The individual campaigns are $3 each? Allied and Africa corps are $10.50 each? Thanks in advance.

[IainMcNeil]

Sorry for the confusion. PzC iPad is $19.99/£13.99. The IAP to give you all 10 Grand campaigns, with over 150 missions, plus Allied Corps & Afrika Korps is $59.99/£39.99.

Does that clear things up?

[Missouri_Rebel]

A search for it in the App Store continues to come up blank.

[IainMcNeil]

This is the link - it won't work until after midnight local time.

It seems to take a varying amount of time to process for release in each country. I see it now in China and Australia but not Russia yet where technically it should be available.

[Lützow]

Neither in Germany, although it's past midnight here.
