Hi Phil, I have looked through all the game files but can NOT find an explanation of the 1.2 "Rules". You mention the changes, and I have seen those in several spots, including a readme file within the Panzer Corps directory. But bringing up the RULES gives me the 'old' rules and No explanation about the new stuff, including what ChessDice means (specifically) etc. Where is that file? In the new Advanced Screen (when selecting a Scenario) it asks if we want to use NEW or OLD rules, but what's the difference?? Thanks much! RIK

Better to check Slitherine forum, which has a more active Panzer Corps section.
There are several threads with some information.

It should be noted that panzer corps Wehrmacht HAS NOT been updated but ONLY allied corps has been updated to these new units and advanced options . While it may show that you can reform units in the east west scenarios in fact you cannot..

Well, it seems to work for everything but the DLCs. Another link below with how to get that to work while a new patch is worked up. Seems like a lot of work but some may want to try it.
