Panzer Corps Afrika Korps

Panzer Corps Afrika Korps is an expansion for Panzer Corps, a turn-based strategy game. Set during the North African Campaign of World War II, it puts you in command of the German Afrika Korps and its Axis allies as they enter Libya and Tunisia in 1941. You lead them against Allied forces, with the stated objectives of securing the Suez Canal and taking the oil-rich lands of the Arabian peninsula; the campaign may also threaten India, the British Empire’s crown jewel.

The Afrika Korps campaign

The expansion adds 24 scenarios, from Reconnaissance in Force and Ras el Mdauuar through El Alamein and Kasserine Pass to Mareth Line and Tunisian Bridgehead. It also includes several multiplayer scenarios set in the African theatre. Objectives are more varied and can change during a battle, and the scenarios feature new desert-related weather types.

Units and equipment

More than 20 units join the equipment table, including gliders and flamethrowing tanks. Ten new Afrika Korps heroes are included, and your core force can now contain allied units such as Italians. New desert camouflage units accompany a desert tile-set.

Additional content

The Library adds information on prominent World War II airplanes. The expansion also includes new concept art, music and an intro trailer, as well as an improved AI. Its new units and tile-sets are available to the modding community through the existing editor.
