Status: offline 		The award-winning strategy game Panzer Corps is now launching an attack on a new platform with its release on Steam!

Thanks to the fans who supported the game with thousands of votes, Panzer Corps was Greenlit on Steam last December. After two months of optimizing and adapting the game to this platform, and implementing 84 unique achievements, Panzer Corps and all of its expansions will finally be out on Wednesday, March the 12th! This means you will have access not only to the base game but also to the 10 Grand Campaigns, Afrika Korps and Allied Corps expansions by mid week!

This project would not have been possible without your full support. In order to thank every member of our current Panzer Corps community, we’re pleased to announce that when the game is available we will be giving a free Steam key to everyone who has a copy of the game, wherever you bought it from. All you need to so is register your serial number here and on release day you will be able redeem your code!

Get more information on Panzer Corps from its official product page.

I think its a good idea as well. With so much DLC for all the campaigns- I think Steam is well suited for a game of this type.

If you have it already installed, will Steam make the existing installation and saves "native to steam"? or to use Steam it would need to be re-installed?

You'll have to install the Steam version. However, the saves folder in "Documents\My games\Panzer Corps" will be used by the Steam version. You can load the save games from the non-steam version and vice-versa.

Will you get better profile or similar if I do.

Also is there a cost to you if I do so (do you have to pay steam for those keys) ?

If you don't care about Steam achievements then there's no other advantage, besides the easiness of installing the game.

You can redeem your Steam keys at no cost:

Status: offline 		I really hope you guys put more games on Steam. That has frankly been one of my issues with buying more Matrix games. If the games were easily accessible through something like Steam, I would probably buy more.

I hope to see my John Tiller games there eventually. I would also love to see Carriers at War (thought I hope the price would drop too.)

Thanks,
Duncan

Launching really quietly in the middle of a Rockstar games sale probably hurt. As does not getting a place on the featured games slide. Panzer Corps already isn't on the front page of New Releases, there's no reason to believe most people saw it.

Yes, where are all the millions of wargamers that just did not know they like wargames unless Matrix started releasing games on Steam

At some point, if they really want to reach the top of the charts, they'll need to put the whole bundle on sale for a much lower price (~75% off) while there aren't any other big sales going on, or as part of the summer/winter sales.
