Integrating new expansion sets into the old game - 6/5/2012 9:33:07 PM

Hello,

I have a question about the various expansion packs and how they fit in the original campaigns. I haven�t started any campaigns, but just a few scenarios to familiarize myself with the game - I was a big fan of the original Panzer/Allied General and still have it. My question is: in the original version there seems to be one mission to invade Poland, but in the various expansion packs (Panzer Corps 1939) there seems to be several added scenarios that involve the invasion of Poland (for example)� How are these integrated in the campaigns? Are these new missions stand-along scenarios, or are they somehow added to the campaign mission roster?

I am a bit confused as to how all of these expansion packs fit in the original game. Is it possible to download everything at once, start the campaign in 1939, and then seamlessly go through every mission from the expansion packs depending on the choices I make? Also, are graphic, AI or other improvements added to the original game when I download an expansion pack that has such improvements?

Thanks.

Hi.
I think when you say extra expansions you're referring to the DLC Grand Campaign which has so far 5 campaigns; starting from 39' and ending in East 45'.
Those DLCs wuill not be integrated to the Panzer Corps original campaign. It's another campaign with a lot more scenarios than the original. Also it follows a path more close to the historical events. You don't invade US for example, like you can do it with the original Panzer Corps campaign.

If for extra expansions you're referring to the custom packs made by modders, they also don't integrate with the Panzer Corps original campaign. They have their own set of scenarios, sometimes bringing new graphics and sounds to the game.
