Hex size

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

Hex size

Post by wings7 »

What is the scale area for a hex in meters or yards? I did not find that info in the manual, or did I miss it? Thanks!

I don't think it is fixed but it is likely to be in the 10s of miles range.

In the first scenario (Poland) of the base game it is approx 10 miles per hex.

Because you can`t play Crete and Caucasus with the same units on the same scale.

I'm new to Panzer Corps...so do most of the scenario and campaign designers in include the hex scale (or scale) in their respective descriptions?

There are a couple mods that strive to keep things in the range of 1km=1hex, but the official campaigns do not necessarily have the same scale from one scenario to the other, nor do they announce a scale as far as I`m aware. Most mods tend to take the same loose approach I think.

Thanks for the info! [:)] Can anyone else add something or anything else?
