Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations - 1943

Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations - 1943 is the sixth chapter of the Axis Operations Grand Campaign, focused on the Eastern Front. After the Battle of Stalingrad, the destruction of German, Hungarian and Romanian forces has left huge gaps in the Axis front. You lead efforts to stabilize it before the Battle of Kursk, where your decisions and earlier campaign results can influence events and potentially change the course of the war in this and future campaigns.

Continue your campaign

You can import a core force that completed Axis Operations 1942 East, or start with a preset force containing experienced units and heroes. Imported forces can take on increased difficulty settings and advanced game modes for further challenges and growth. At the end of the campaign, you can save your core force for the next Axis Operations installment; each campaign can also be played on its own.

Missions and history

The campaign includes bonus objectives inspired by historical events and appearances by additional German leaders from World War II. Their mannerisms and writing draw on their real-life memoirs and thoughts. The 17 scenarios are Zaporizhia, Backhand Blow, Kummersdorf 1943, Yakovlevo, Oboyan, Prokhorovka, Operation Roland, Stalino, Rostov 1943, Elista, Astrakhan, Return to Stalingrad, Orel, Panther Line, Taman Peninsula, Kremenchug and Zhitomir.

Earn commendations

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

The Battle of Kursk

At Kursk, you lead Wehrmacht veterans against Soviet defenses protecting the salient. Earlier victories can influence the battle, but you still direct your forces through it. Your campaign may follow a path shaped by history or carve out a new one.
