Slitherine, Matrix Games, and The Lordz Games Studio are proud to release the comprehensive 1.05 update for their highly touted international WWII strategy hit, Panzer Corps.

The update includes 4 new multiplayer maps, a number of new units, and plenty of bug fixes and improvements. The new units coming in the 1.05 update include IS1, KV85, BS3, 85mmM1939, Soviet guards, Soviet SMG and Soviet conscripts.

The file is available from this list of mirrors.

About Panzer Corps

Panzer Corps is a brand new turn-based strategy game that reinvents a classic genre. Produced and developed by a team of experts and brought to perfection by a community of hundreds of fans, the game has evolved over 2 years to become what can be defined as a modern classic!

Set in World War II, Panzer Corps puts the player in charge of Axis armies, taking their core force with them through the entire war. The use of combined-arms tactics requires each general to make use of the strengths and exploit the weaknesses of their opponents.

Its multiplayer mode, an improved version of Slitherine’s award winning PBEM++ system, allows players to easily find opponents anywhere in the world enjoy playing them with none of the hassle.

Panzer Corps is designed to replicate the feeling of a classic wargame, but brings it up to 21st century standards and to a whole new generation of gamers.

Get the update here. The update is comprehensive and will bring all previous versions of Panzer Corps to 1.05. Get more information on Panzer Corps from its official on the Slitherine site or on the Matrix Games site.

After the demand for the first few, we thought that adding some mirrors would be a good idea. We have since added a great deal of additional bandwidth to our servers, so if you try downloading from our site through "Check for Updates" or the public FTP, you should see much faster download speeds than with previous update releases.

Regards,

- Erik

No, you missed my point. I had v1.04; I installed '41 campaign and SHOULD installed ALSO the v1.05, but didn't.
So I had to do it manually.

Guderian: lowers the number of turns you have to complete a scenario or to achieve a decisive victory.
Manstein: sets enemy unit strength to 15.
Rommel: reduces your number of core units and prestige.

Right.
But there will be custom difficulty levels.

Status: offline 		BASB, according to the slitherine link, you must complete the original campaign to western USA getting all decisive victories. This will unlock the new levels. The link VPaulus gave for changing it manually, sounds risky.

Status: offline 		Exactly like von Rocko, said.
There's only a new difficulty level, the Ultimate. And for that you've to edit the gameoptions.htm file.
The others (Rommel, Manstein and Guderian) exist since version 1.0. You can only have access to them if you win the USA West scenario with a DV on Field Marshall difficulty level.

@von Rocko
Yes, if you don't feel comfortable in messing with registry, don't do it.
Of course, if you create a restore point prior to the changing, you can always go back at least.

Now I'm a bit confused. Do you need a decisive victory in all the scenerios leading up to,and including, USA West? Or do you just need the decisive in the USA west? (on field marshall of course)
