USA Corps?

I do hope the Grand Campaign can be completed post-sealion, and I also hope you guys raise the money for an Allied Grand Campaign.

Game is too good to be forgotten. >_>

Sir, yes, Sir!

That would mean more "what if", not sure this is what people are waiting for.
I posted a patch that allows the SL army to be imported in DLC 43W; at least it is something.

It is not a matter of money.
It depends more on time and people to create content. For example, it took me nearly four months to create Sea Lion alfa, taking in consideration that i have a family and a full-time job.
Also, I think the British were pretty well covered in Allied Corps.

To be honest I'd love to see more historical grand campaigns first. An allied GC and Soviet GC series. maybe after that a what if DLC series or maybe an update of some east scenarios that makes it possible to win 1941 at moscow (I mean the scenario is already there) and after that you can start a USA invasion DLC. That way you could go GC39, GC40, Sealion, GC41, winning at Streets of Moscow, GC USA 45 or something like that.

I think there's a lot more potential in this game for DLCs still. Especially once Rudankort has time again to work on stuff in the code. I mean common, you could improve things slightly and have tons of content stull. I see no reason for a new engine so far.
Suggestions for additions would be including the hangar system from OOB Pacific so planes really land and can be bombed on the ground, potentially introduce the idea that AT guns give support fire against tanks, like in OOB Pacific. That would improve the usefulness of AT guns IMMENSELY, even the towed ones. There's some good ideas in that game that could be introduced in Panzer Corps. Geez I mean we already have graphics for hangars even. And support fire is already in the game. It'd just have to be scriupted for AT guns too, defending against armored attacks only. I think it'd be worth trying out with future DLCs. It could be another rule set so you can deactivate it if you don#t want it for older content.

But the engine is defintiely not at an end yet. There's tons of stuff that can still be done.

Hmm.. Well, GC East is already historical, so I see no reason not to do the more 'fantasy' things. I mean, it is the Sealion route after all. If people still want to be ground to a fine paste by the Russians they still have that option... :O

Aww for the no-go on British :( I have Allies Corps, I just want it to be more grand campaigny. It is your fault (and your co-workers), if you didn't make the grand campaign in the first place, I wouldn't be demanding more grand campaigns... :P

Well, best of luck anyway, I'll be looking forward to whatever comes out. :D

Oh I mean the GC east to remain the same. I just meant that you could use the already present Streets of Moscow as the jump to the US. So if you win at moscow you beat the USSR and then pop->US

Hello,

I think that an historical Soviet campaign goes 1st.

Combat in the Pacific belongs to OOB, not to Pz Corps (even if OOB requires a stronger PC than Pz Corps).

Why US DLC ? Allied Corps covers the British and US interventions already, no ? What will be changed in comparison with Allied Corps ? Do you mean a German invasion of USA ? Based on what I read it seems playing on the US side.

For me we need a US campaign starting in 1945 vs the attacking Soviet hordes (maybe remnants of the Wehrmacht will be used by Allied troops!).

In all cases congrats for the hard work!

Why US DLC? I just felt like creating a US GC, which i began working on a year ago. But first there will be Soviet Corps of course.
Allied Corps is merciless for the US. After barely one mision, you face the Germans in the Kasserine Pass. I think the British were pretty well covered in Allied Corps.
I suppose we leave the what-if (German invasion of the US) on the back burner; i don't think that there is demand for more what-if at this time.

I will buy whatever you put out for this game...
Thank you for putting time and energy into this remarkable game and continuing to add content that fans like me can purchase.

Note that there is a TV series based on P.K. Dicks The Man In The High Castle. While that certainly isn´t about Panzers, German invasions of the US and AH scenarios are on the public radar. Also, most buyers are probably from the US, aren´t they ? Attacking ones hometown with Nazi panzers presumably has its appeal.

Anyway, congrats to your great work. I have just finished Reyjavik and am quite satisfied by Sea Lion. While some scenarios were pretty conventional, there have been real high lights in it.

I'm watching The man in the High Castle too. I can't wait for the next chapters, hopefully November 20th.
I am currently reading the first book of TimeRiders, in which an evil character goes back to 1941 and tells Hitler not to attack the Soviet Union. After the unification of Europe under the German flag, the Germans invade the US in 1956.

I'm glad you liked playing Sea Lion. The beta testers were of tremendous help to finalize Sea Lion.

I must admit I only play the German side... Same with PG, have tried Pacific General and Allied General, but stuck to the Germans as I enjoy their build up/development of forces over the years more than the allied side (US, Brits or Russian). I'd go for chasing USA after beating Moscow therefore. Also: change of Afrika Korps - ending it in India is not what I think would strategically be the only German goal, but swaying north to the Caucasus and the oil fields. That would connect both battlefields.
Of course that would mean "what if" scenarios / less historical, but it would not be unaccurate as to what could have happened.
Will definately buy Sea Lion, after completing GC East first, which will surely take all most winterevenings ;-).

As an long time player of panzerkorps and the old panzer general series i would love to see a GTPG campaign or LOV like version but then for the allies. With the same massive amount of scenarios! They were the best mods ever for panzerkorps and really enjoyed them. In fact i still play them up to this day. But we will see what comes next.

All moderators, developers and other people working on this great game thx for all the effort that goes in to making this an even better game and giving us so much content and fun. I really appreciate it!!!

PANZERKORPS RULES!!!!

For GTPG and LoV there was never a problem to create a sufficient amount of scenarios from an Axis point of view; and those mods took me two years of my life to create :lol:

The cards are different for the American forces. They entered the North African theatre in 1942 and it is not possible to create such an amount of scenarios that can possibly compete with my older mods and the official Axis GC 39-45.

In those two years you gave us 2 brilliant pieces of modding ever! Maybe for the american side 70+ scenarios is indeed to much (maybe not for the brits side, they where involved already in 1940 (start with a losing campaign that slowly transforms in a winning campaign path)). But i'am just daydreaming here!!!

Again all the efford that goes into making these mods is much appreciated and i can't wait to see whats coming up. Keep the good work up!!

Let's wait for SOviet Corps and then discuss what might be cool future projects. Seeing how by then my eyes are hopefully be healthy again... I might even go for trying to create some content. Maybe I'll be able to help out. if it weren't for my eyes I'd have tried something like that already probably.
