Panzer Corps includes 42 scenarios - more than PG had. The problem is, we had to distribute these amount between more areas. We needed a way to introduce new players to the game, so we have a tutorial campaign (6 scenarios). We also needed some dedicated multiplayer content - balanced and with good replay value - so we have 10 special MP maps. As for the main single player campaign, we do have a longer USA campaign which consists of 3 major scenarios. ;)

But this initial release is only the beginning, and we do plan to create a lot more content in the future. Africa will probably be the first theatre we'll look at.

Save often as there is no undo option. I found out the hard way after importing a map, and thirty minutes later I made a mistake with a road tile, and nothing would remove it. Lost it all. Save Larry!

Yeah, fair enough. I know the inclusion of MP capability was a HUGE issue for a lot of people. And as I said -- I am certainly enjoying recapturing the fun of the game. I have come close to getting my money's out of it already!

This is not how it is supposed to work. :) Could you please give more details on this? Normally, if you have a wrong tile, you can just go to the layer where this tile is located and delete it with right click on it.

I think its a fantastic idea that your units dont get automatically replenished..green replacements are free and elite replacements cost you points..this is very real and if you read books like Men of Steel it was a significant factor as to why late war german formations were not as effective and finally the fact that the german army had a serious manpower shortage after 1941..and it makes the game very fun and all you need to be is more careful in how you plan your battles instead of just bulldozing through..and finally it stops players from building up on cheap units..i think its a great feature and it should not be changed

If I would like to see any change in a future patch would be about 3-5 more core slots so that 30% of your core units are not being hogged by the airforce

Very easy to start playing indeed, but is still challenging when you ramp the difficulty level up.
I LOVE the multiplayer it's easy to get a game going LGS was right when they said it would be the perfect choice for setup. Plenty of games going as well hope it stays that way.

Totally takes me back to the original goodness of the original PG. I think I can waste very many hours with this game.

Thank you for the game. I have not had a good night's sleep since it's release.

Being forced to reinforce my own armies in between scenarios was a big surprise, but a welcome one. I think it is a good idea.

I have run across only one real problem. I am having some trouble picking core and aux units out from each other. The difference is really subtle.

Other than that I am having an awesome time and I will be glad to throw my money at you for any future expansions.

Biggest issue so far: I like the whole air units can run out of fuel idea (PG1 had that) but I would like a toggle to have it popup and say "you are going to be unable to reach an airbase if you make this move". I know that the red dots mean this but it is so far very easy for me at least to forget this in heat of battle.

I'm against any popups, because I like the general "board" feeling of this game and the red dots work just fine for me, I never made any of the mistakes in that area that you made. Anyways... just my 2 cents. :)

Me, too. I get aggravated enough at the new postmortem popup that was added to World of Tanks. We don't need no stinkin' popups in Panzer Corps!

Love the game. Love the editor even more. This is a lot of fun and a relative steal at $40.00 compared to other Matrix titles out there. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loved any of the Panzer General games and to anyone trying out their first wargame. Hopefully this should bring some fresh faces to Matrix.

Really the only thing I'm hoping for in a future patch is for a more streamlined way of incorporating user made CAMPAIGNS into the game. Regardless, job well done.
