Due to obviously very little interest for the mod on this forum, I'm no longer going to update this thread.
Please check the mod's thread over on the Slitherine forums for future updates.
Well, I don't know if anyone else is interested in this in the first place, but after some messing around, I decided to remake the original PG campaign as my first modding attempt in Panzer Corps.
All the original maps, recreated as faithfully as possible will be the first version.
As PC changed a few mechanics and made some stuff immensely more expensive, a lot of balancing the prestige rewards will probably be in order. Which is, besides hunting for bugs, is the main thing I need help with.
Another thing I need assistance with is to create necessary new graphics for units/terrain/etc. (it turned out I'm pretty bad at creating those). Early on, you'll have to live with some mockups I threw together.
Anyway, wether you feel you can help or not, if you're at all interested, this is all probably blah-blah for you, and the important question is when you can start playing.
And the answer to that is: right now.
I already finished all scenarios (barring errors), and the campaign should be playable. Whether or not you run into an error that will prevent you from progressing properly is another matter, but if you do, you can help me after all by reporting the issue. [;)]
One such issue I'm already aware of: the scenario status report texts (pzloc files) haven't been created yet. So don't be surprised if you read something nonsensical there.
Here's the download.
Please make sure to backup your original files somewhere!
As PC doesn't currently support mod-directories, I had to change/overwrite some original files.
With this mod installed, the PC classic campaign will replace the Poland 1939 campaign that comes with the game (I had no idea how to hook up a new campaign otherwise).
So please AT LEAST back up your campaign file (campaign.pzdat in PC's Data subdirectory).
Also, if you want to play any of the scenarios standalone, you'll have to copy all pzscn files that start with PG_ from your Panzer Corps\Data directory to [My Documents]\My Games\Panzer Corps\Scenario (You have to manually create the Scenario directory if you haven't played any standalone scenarios yet).
As a optional bonus download, here's the fully voiced briefings from the original Panzer General. Sadly, a bug in PC will prevent the debriefings from being played, but I hope it'll be fixed in time.
For now, a lot of these files are unused, but anyway...
Finally, here are some teaser images:

Some credits:
> Obviously SSI for creating the original Panzer General and with it the scenarios and briefings.
> Rudankort for not only creating Panzer Corps but also PGForever, from which I mostly copied campaign tree and briefing texts, plus it was immensely helpful while creating the scenarios.
> danrell from the Civ5 forum created the T-28 and M24 Chaffee models on which these models in this mod are based.
I'll likely use more of his units in the future.
> snafusmith for creating the Civ4 unit the Fokker DXXI is based on.
