Probably buying: A couple of questions

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

Probably buying: A couple of questions

Post by Ubercat »

How do the DLC campaigns plug in exactly?

If all I have is the base game, it's going to come with x number of stock scenarios. Suppose there are three stock Polish battles (I'm just guessing here.)and I buy the '39 DLC campaign. That comes with 11 Polish scenarios. Do they completely replace the 3 basic Polish battles? Extrapolating from that, if I own all of the DLC campaigns (current and future releases) will the stock battles be completely replaced? Will my core force from the very beginning go with me through every single DLC battle?

If I buy the game now plus most of the currently available DLC campaigns, and start the whole shebang from the beginning, let's say I get to the end of '41 and then buy the '42 campaign; even though it was installed after I started a grand campaign, can I then move right into the '42 battles? IoW, would I have to start all over because the expanded '42 battles weren't installed from the beginning?

I hope this post makes sense. I'm posting while still somewhat intoxicated. -hic-

The Grand Campaigns are a series of expansions for Panzer Corps and require Panzer Corps.

Each campaign can be started with the core force from the previous Grand Campaign, so you can continue all Grand Campaign expansions carrying over all the core forces that completed the previous ones. Alternatively players can start with a preset core force and play each campaign on its own, or jump in to the Grand Campaign at any year.

Your main campaign and scenarios are not affected, you can load them up separately and all players also get the latest files, regardless if the buy a DLC or not, they just cannot play with the new content if they haven`t bought any expansion. You can start at any start date you want and even can save, play and load with different army corps.

In other words, total freedom and no problem to buy in any order. Just pick the DLC`s you like most and get going!
