Panzer Corps is a very good strategy game. When we reviewed it not long ago, we scored it an impressive 4/5. It’s a great throw back to our fond memories of the old Panzer General days, and developers, The Lordz Games Studio and publisher, Matrix Games, aren’t resting on their laurels.
Two additional content packs are on their way for armchair generals to gain some extra mileage out of Panzer Corps. They’ll be available for download for $US4.99 a piece, and contain scenarios and campaigns for the various battles of 1939 and 1940.
The press release below outlines what people can expect from each campaign, but the truly exciting thing for people that like their wargames grand is, by combining everything together, Panzer Corps will allow you to play a full grand campaign from 1939 to 1945 across no fewer than 70 scenarios.
That’s a long game. For people interested in getting a sneak peak of the content early, you can sign up to be part of the beta team over at Slitherine.
