Panzer Corps v1.20 update

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!

Hi Phil, I have looked through all the game files but can NOT find an explanation of the 1.2 "Rules". You mention the changes, and I have seen those in several spots, including a readme file within the Panzer Corps directory. But bringing up the RULES gives me the 'old' rules and No explanation about the new stuff, including what ChessDice means (specifically) etc. Where is that file? In the new Advanced Screen (when selecting a Scenario) it asks if we want to use NEW or OLD rules, but what's the difference?? Thanks much! RIK

Better to check Slitherine forum, which has a more active Panzer Corps section.
There are several threads with some information.

It should be noted that panzer corps Wehrmacht HAS NOT been updated but ONLY allied corps has been updated to these new units and advanced options . While it may show that you can reform units in the east west scenarios in fact you cannot..

Well, it seems to work for everything but the DLCs. Another link below with how to get that to work while a new patch is worked up. Seems like a lot of work but some may want to try it.
