If playing the game through Steam, it has to be online in order for achievements to be unlocked. Had to replay the final scenario in the Afrika Corps campaign myself in order to unlock Italian Victory only because of this.

Battleaxe Perhaps the most difficult scenario of the entire campaign whose character resembles the previous one, Brevity, albeit with much steroided-up Allied strength as well as another layer difficulty being added by scripted counterattacks and shifting objectives :shock:. In order to triumph a d...

I downloaded the replay and loaded it in-game and it works fine for me. I archived it using WinRAR into a ZIP-file, perhaps this is what causes the problem. If so I'm happy to upload it using another format.

By the way, nice posts and an ambitious AAR! You could also post strategic maps (e.g. at the beginning or at the end of a scenario) visualizing your approach/tactics... nice program for this is (besides others of course) Greenshot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenshot Thank you very much, it all ...

The images in post #2 will not display no matter what I do it seems. Are they awaiting confirmation by an administrator? Otherwise I would much appreciate if someone could review the post and point out any coding errors on my behalf. The image links are valid and can be accessed by right clinking th...

Brevity First scary scenario where the British is assaulting in force. Their forces include two 17-strength behemoth Matilda IIs which is a rather terrifying thing to deal with this early in the campaign. Key to success is to play it conservatively first 8 or so turns as the AI relentlessly hurls h...

Ras el Mdauuar Bunkers galore. Added an Italian heavy flak and two artilleries to my core. Disbanded a few German units including 2 ATs which I will come to regret later in the campaign. Also upgraded two German infantries to Pioniere to help deal with the bunkers. Overall a rather uncomplicated al...

Reconnaissance in Force Overall pretty straightforward scenario where the objectives change a few times over the course of the game. In order to score a DV a couple of towns to the very east must be captured and so I had to peel off quite a few units of my main force advancing north in order to rus...

Dear community! I have recently finished the AK campaign on Manstein difficulty level as well meeting the prerequisities for the Italian challange achievment. In practice this means that all AI units received a +5 boost to unit strength while I was only allowed to purchase new Italian equipment thro...

Tried windowed mode right now and I have also upgraded to Win 8.1, installed the latest DirectX and the problem persists. Any animation generating a smoke cloud takes 2-3 seconds to clear. All other animations run very smoothly. Maybe the firstmentioned animations are supposed to be that way eventou...

The smoke generating animations still run slowish with the Audio folder renamed.

I can't seem to find a spoiler option in the list of tags but here ya go: DirectShow Filters: WMAudio Decoder DMO,0x00800800,1,1,WMADMOD.DLL,6.02.9200.16384 WMAPro over S/PDIF DMO,0x00600800,1,1,WMADMOD.DLL,6.02.9200.16384 WMSpeech Decoder DMO,0x00600800,1,1,WMSPDMOD.DLL,6.02.9200.16384 MP3 Decoder ...

I have checked a good few of the animations over and it is more and more obvious that only the smoke animations causes the game to run in slow motion. For example air unit taking heavy casualities, ground unit destroyed, landing shells etc etc. All other animations work fine.

Will do. Thanks

Hi

I just moved my PzC installation to Steam, removed the old one and, voila, the three extra difficulties is no longer accessible. Is there any means to reactivate them without having to plow through the entire grand campaign once more on FM difficulty?

In short: ------------ DxDiag Notes ------------ Display Tab 1: No problems found. Sound Tab 1: No problems found. Sound Tab 2: No problems found. Input Tab: No problems found. The entire file generated by dxdiag contains more than the maximum allowed characters (86022!). If there is a specific part...

The movement animations run rather smoothly save for a very short latency. The fire (and smoke from landing shells) animations, however, especially when shooting artillery, run in slow motion. Laptop power mode is set to high performance btw.

Hi! I have just made full Panzer Corps latest patch installation on my new laptop and the animations just runs annoyingly slow. It really ruins gameplay. Some latency time when scrolling as well. No memory/CPU consuming/heavy applications running in the background save for Steam and Mozilla Firefox....

Playing the Dieppe scenario in GC 42/43 I just got a rather nasty surprise as an AI 15 strength HW inf popped up in a checked/besieged city hex (16,10) from one turn to another, badly damaging a nearby unsuspecting tank unit. Hex was occupied by an AI artillery unit on the previous turn. I am unable...

@the opening post I think ultimately PzC borrowed the original PG mechanics a bit too literally. The game pieces represent not units as KK suggests nor individual pieces of equipment but rather an abstract combination of both. Similarly the mechanics are abstract representing neither truly tactical...
