In fact, one of our BETA testers gave us feedback that described our depiction of him as ‘the Gigachad himself’.
Additionally, players will get deep insight into Field Marshal von Manstein’s mannerisms, thought processes, and abilities in this campaign, as we scoured many historical sources to properly represent this historical figure in the campaigns of 1943. We really wanted to do this historical figure justice, so we armed him with amazing looking new portraits as you can see here. Even before his infamous combat career on the Eastern Front, he lent his genius to the Western Front of 1940, with the so-named ‘Manstein Plan’ that resulted in the collapse of France in just six weeks! Considered by some to be the most brilliant German military mind during this conflict, von Manstein’s list of battles and victories is extensive as it was incredible. In our extensive historical research of the Eastern Front of World War II, one name seemed to come up time and time again: Erich von Manstein.
PANZER CORPS 2 STALINGRAD UPDATE
Everyone should be seeing these awesome new portraits begin to appear in any German campaign they play as soon as the update rolls out. This change is actually not unique to the upcoming Axis Operations 1943 campaign, but will be available to all owners of any edition of Panzer Corps 2. And the six images you see here are just a few of the added portraits! This new batch of heroes is focused very heavily on Panzer and StuG crew portraits, to complement the existing infantry and Luftwaffe portraits we already have in game. Panzer Corps 2 has expanded its German hero portrait variety with a number of new images, which should reduce the repetition of seeing the same hero image repeatedly. One request we have received time and again is to increase the portrait variety of heroes the game hands out, especially from those players with highly veteran and many times imported CORE forces. With no time to waste today, we’re going to jump right into a general game improvement first with…Ī collection of new German hero portraits Panzer Corps 2: Axis Operations – 1943 – May Announcementīecause the upcoming Axis Operations 1943 is so jam packed with goodies, we have a very special second Developer Diary for you to get another preview of even more of the upcoming additions to Panzer Corps 2!įirst off, the important news!
