Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations - 1942

Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations - 1942 is a campaign add-on for Panzer Corps 2, following the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front during 1942. After Operation Barbarossa fails to defeat the Soviet Union, Soviet counter-offensives threaten to encircle German forces in the Russian winter. You command elite Wehrmacht forces through 17 scenarios, including several new mission designs.

Campaign and forces

You can import a core force that completed the Axis Operations 1941 campaign or begin with a preset force containing experienced units and an assortment of heroes. Imported forces can pursue further growth and challenges through higher difficulty settings and advanced game modes. After completing the campaign, you can save your core force for the next Axis Operations installment, or play this campaign on its own.

Historical missions

Bonus objectives draw on historical events, and historical German leaders appear in campaign briefings and scenarios, adding context to the battles. Mission objectives include airlifting supplies to isolated German forces, providing Close Air Support for Axis partner nations and escorting Kriegsmarine vessels through the English Channel. Close Air Support also appears as a new mission type.

The Battle of Stalingrad unfolds across multiple scenarios. This campaign is the first in the Axis Operations series to have more than one ending, with the outcome reflecting your efforts in the war.

Rewards and new units

Completing bonus objectives and achieving different degrees of victory earns Commendation Points. You can spend them on captured enemy equipment, special prototype aircraft and the opportunity to recruit additional historical officers.

The campaign also adds an improved Toldi II Model 1942 and Turan 1 tanks, along with a small collection of utility and prototype units. Some existing German vehicles receive visual upgrades, and new portraits expand the selection for historical briefings and random hero assignments.
