Panzer Corps Allied Corps

Panzer Corps Allied Corps is an expansion for Panzer Corps that puts you in command of the Western Allies across a campaign spanning 1940 to 1945. You begin in the Western Desert as the British 8th Army, fighting Italian forces supported by the German Afrika Korps. The war continues in Sicily and up through Italy against German resistance, then opens a new front with Operation Overlord in 1944 before the advance to the Rhine and Berlin.

Campaign

The campaign has 30 scenarios, including a tutorial based on real World War II events that leads directly into the main campaign. It covers action in Africa and Europe and offers six entry points, so you can start in any year. You can begin as Britain or the USA, then later command a mixed British and US core force. The campaign includes historical scenarios as well as what-if scenarios, including one asking what might have happened if the Russians had continued heading west.

Units and battles

The expansion adds more than 50 regular and special elite units, alongside modified versions of existing units. Across the game are 900 unit types in 19 classes, each defined by 20 parameters, and 17 terrain types that affect gameplay. Units from more than 30 nations are represented, including Great Britain, the USA, France, Poland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Albania, Romania, Greece, India, New Zealand and Australia.

As units fight, heroes with bonuses can emerge. You can track each unit’s battle history and medals, save games, watch replays and share them with friends. The game also includes a library of information about tanks and aircraft from both sides of the war.

Multiplayer and tools

Two players can compete through the PBEM++ server. The expansion also includes a scenario editor and extensive modding options.
