Panzer Corps Grand Finale: a DLC and an update!

[Philkian]

It has taken over a year to develop more than 140 scenarios, hundreds of units and an extensive number of new features. From the cold steppes of Russia, to the hostile beaches of Sicily, the Panzer Corps Grand Campaign series of DLCs has brought to life the entire course of the war in one of the most ambitious projects ever created for wargamers.

Now, with the release of Panzer Corps ’45 West, the Grand Campaign comes to an end. In this final installment, surrounded by enemies on all sides, the once mighty German Wehrmacht faces ultimate defeat on the eve of 1945. Little do the Allies suspect that deep underground in secret bunkers, German scientists and engineers have built an arsenal of wonder weapons that could turn the tide of the war! Armed with the these new weapons, Germany sends the last of its reserves in to battle with Operation Wacht am Rhein - a final attempt to end the war favourably.

The DLC contains 5 new units including the V1, V2 and advanced jet aircraft such as the Gotha, 18 all-new scenarios that utilizes the new features implemented in Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps as well as the latest content updates. Players can import their core force from the previous campaigns, or alternatively use a preset core force and play each of the campaigns on its own or jump in at any year.

Furthermore, Panzer Corps Wehrmacht has been updated to version 1.13. The v1.13 update contains numerous improvements to the UI and the controls and features new modding possibilities. This update also includes some language fixes, adds new units and fixes the Tileset. Here the full changelog:

I hope every one of these will come out on iPad. If you have any doubt please see the results of battle academy on iPad. Guess you guys don't like making money......

[VPaulus]

We're porting Panzer Corps to iPad.
But at this point we cannot give any release date yet.

[rodney727]

I guess to me panzer corps was made for iPad...much like commander the the Great War is. Silly me I'm just one of many thousands of consumers who are willing to pay for such a game on the iPad. I'm part of a generation that out number the people who buy your PC games 1000 to 1. Did you see how how BA outsold your PC version 5 to 1 in the App Store ? I have said this before ....you can either fly with the eagles or walk with the crows... I wonder which path matrix games will follow.

Well, you and I are reaching an age where we are consider "old farts". But I would love to have Panzer Corps on iPpad too.

[Tac2i]

I want an Android version, please. Same for Battle Academy...

[dsawan]

which ipad would work with it

[rodney727]

Most games will work on all iPad versions. I had an iPad 2 for almost two years before I got my iPad 4.

[Dragoon.]

Unless it's graphic intensive you don't have to worry. I mean Infinity Blade on an iPad 1? Yikes!

thx for updat. I am on a budget though and these things are expensive.

[rodney727]

Save 25 per paycheck every two weeks. I did this by simply not going out for lunch. I was saving up for an iPad 3 and when I saved enough the ipad4 came out.. .also sold my iPad 2 64 gig on eBay for 350. So I got more than half my money back. True you can buy an android tablet for as little as 50 but 95% of all android tablets are crap.
