Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations - 1945

Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations - 1945 is a campaign add-on with two playable paths: a historical campaign covering the final months of the Second World War in Europe, and an alternate campaign continuing the Ahistorical 1944 story after the Axis victory at the Battle of Ploesti. Both campaigns are available immediately, with no prerequisites or barriers. You can start with a newly formed Panzer Corps or imported forces.

The historical campaign

In the Historical Campaign of 1945 East, you lead Wehrmacht forces into their final desperate offensives on the Eastern Front. The campaign also explores the context and costs of operations such as Operation Bodenplatte and Spring Awakening. Its story covers the fates of historical German figures and the Axis Operations characters, and examines why many ordinary Wehrmacht soldiers continued fighting despite the lack of hope for victory.

The alternate campaign

The Axis Operations 1945 Alternate campaign picks up after the victory at Ploesti. Germany has repelled the Western Allied landings at Normandy and halted the Soviet invasion of Eastern Europe, but Allied resolve remains intact and Germany is still at an impasse. With another major offensive in the East being prepared, the campaign follows this alternate history toward its uncertain outcome.

Choose your forces

For the 1945 East campaign, you can import a core force that completed Axis Operations 1944 East or start with a preset force. Imported forces can take on increased difficulty settings, advanced game modes and new elite objectives. The preset force includes a moderate number of experienced units and a selection of heroes. The campaigns can be played separately, and the historical or alternate path is recommended for veteran players importing a force to experience the extensive narratives.
