I used to play a lot of FPS games but recently lost the use of my dominant hand, very shaky, and found it impossible to play with my left. I thought maybe strategy games would be better. I got Panzer Corps 2 and tried to play it and soon lost interest, my previous experience was Risk board game, lol. Thanks to you, and a whole bunch of time to kill, my interest has returned and with your guides I feel more confident than ever. Excellent guides, Thank You.

Late to playing this game and just picked up, but your tutorials made me decide to get this. Really helps to have someone go over some of these basics which just aren't obvious playing the tutorial in the game.

@carador9286 3 года назад

Thank you for the guides! I bought the game a few days ago and somehow managed to get to Dunkirk. But my army had lost a lot of its strength in Norway and Belgium, so that it would become impossible (with my below average skill) to take Dunkirk, especially with British air superiority. I think I'll watch your videos now, and then start all over again.

@TheEdmon 3 года назад

It can be a very challenging game to be fair. It can take some time to learn all the different aspects of combat.

@shaneintheuk2026 Год назад

As a long time player of Panzer Corps 1 I bought this game when it came out but never fell in love with it. I even watched a couple of your videos back then. I'm going to watch the whole series and see if it helps me get enthused. I think the thing I struggled with is this game requires you take the initiative but the original heavily discouraged you from activating more enemy units until you had cleared the last lot. It's a question of play style that I never managed to get comfortable with.

@TheEdmon Год назад

Having played both, I have come to enjoy PzC2 more, so I hope you settle down and get into it :). It can be really rewarding to play.

Well done, this is a first rate beginner guide. My favorite games are turn based strategy, I'm fair at them, but not an in depth expert. This guide helped sway me to buy Panzer Corps. I wish guides would have been around when I first started playing Panzer General 1 etc, they would have saved lot's time in the casualty ward. BTW, i'm also a fan of your Order of Battle stuff as well.

very nicely explained, thank you. This is my first game of this genre. I'm wondering if the general rock-paper-scissors concept (of Tanks vs Infantry / in open or close terrain etc) would carry over into similar games?

@TheEdmon 2 месяца назад

Most WW2 games use the idea that infantry is good in close terrain, and tanks are good in open terrain, but the bonuses depend on the game.

Just jumped into Panzer Corps 2 blind, after seeing what is essentialy my favorite board game brought to PC and made better (Tide of Iron, love it, but gosh does it take a ton of time to play, on average 45-60 minutes per turn on custome games). And I was wondering why I run out of prestige so fast, I have strong units and kept scratching my head why my tanks in forest get decimated by infantry and other horrible things. THANK YOU very much, for explaining these key points which I somehow missed. Well, I did take Moscow, barely, with heavy losses, but hey, I can always restart with new knowledge and smeare the ground with the enemy now. THANKS!

@MarcoAntonio-tb4gx Год назад

Recently I felt the nostalgia for panzer general, but tbh that game has olded very bad so I started looking for alternatives, first I found order of battle ww2, and that lead to this, I read somewhere that many people preffer OOB Over PC2, last night I Got PC2 and after seeing your videos I see theres a lot of not so obvius mechanics there that make this game also ínteresting, many people blame this game to be more arcadey than OOB but after seing this video and another one of yours about enveloping and getting prestige, I see this game is not that arcadey as some people claim, besides I Love the graphics

An excellent guide for new players! Maybe it should be featured on the SlitherineGames channel. In my experience another 'danger tile' would be next to a mountain tile, even if your unit is in its favorite terrain.

@TheEdmon 4 года назад

Combat takes place in the defenders tile, so while there are a few little bonuses for those on mountains, parking next to one in a clear tile as a tank is fine. Infantry would still get murdered if it tried to attack down into the clear tile.

Thanks Edmon. Newbie here and appreciate the advice. Some of the PC2 streamers I've watched are very...whiney about some of the combat results, even though they've ramped up the random combat aspect. Ruins the streams for me

@TheEdmon 4 года назад

I am not one to whine about RNG (or anything really) but I don't want it to be the reason I win or lose fights. It can be hard to understand how the game works when massive dice rolls throw the results all over the place.

@NipapornP 3 года назад

Really great tutorial, thanks! Only one question: How do I know, WHAT a unit actually is? I mean, it says "8.7,5cmFK16nA", which is perfect for a strong password, but I have no clue, what this cryptic alphanumeric combinations really are. For me it's always a "canon", but you said, it's an antitank, an artillery, an antiair or something like that. Any advice?

@TheEdmon 3 года назад

Click the little "i" button on the unit panel. It's type will be in the stats page.

@NipapornP 3 года назад

@@TheEdmon Thanks! I found out, that hovering over the symbol on the right side next to the "i" also says it. I didn't realize, that there are only that few types of units, so I quickly got used to the symbols now anyways. ;)

I just picked up panzer corps 2 on sale. Running it on a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro with windows 11 via parallels 17. After playing for about an hour my MacBook is getting warm but I don’t hear the fan coming on. Been playing the first panzer corps on an iPad Pro and it’s great. The second one seems a little harder to get a grip on. I’m hoping your video helps me out.

Swamps in PC2 are a mystery to me because it seems only certain types of tanks can attack into them, is that right? Are there special rules for swamps?

@TheEdmon 3 года назад

You can't attack a tile if you are not able to move into that tile. A little known and used rule. This means if your tanks movement is not enough to move into the swamp tile (I think for wheeled, swamp is like 4 movement, so a tank with 3 movement) then you can't attack a unit there. This issue comes up a lot with thick forest and Barren tiles.

@tungstenkid2271 3 года назад

@@TheEdmon Thanks, that explains why the tanks couldn't go in swamps because they only had 3 MP's. How about trucks with 8 MP's, can they go in swamps? And do swamps block supply tracing? What are barren tiles, i haven't seen any yet. And is there a list somewhere of all unit stats which i can look at instead of having to click every unit in the game one by one? PS- I'm PoorOldSpike at the Slitherine forum..:)

@TheEdmon 3 года назад

If you hover over the "i" in the terrain panel, it will tell you how many points you need to move into that tile. As long as you can meet the cost, you can move into that tile. Barren tiles are rare outside of Africa, they stop all movement except foot.

@tungstenkid2271 3 года назад

@@TheEdmon Thanks, i'll hover. Incidentally i'm totally hooked on the fantastic random mission generator because it gives us a completely brandnew battle each time. I'm hoping Slith will expand it in a future update so that we can choose terrain density, for example low density for the Russian steppes etc, and dense terrain for the Ardennes etc. There's currently no Africa terrain (sand) in the generator so I hope that'll be included in a future update too..:)

Combined arms is your friend. A lot of people tend to rely more so on one unit class (tanks, infantry, planes) to the point that you're put at a disadvantage in specialized scenarios.
