Epsom, UK, September 16, 2013 - A new update for
the award-winning strategy games
Panzer Corps Wehrmacht, Afrika Korps and
Allied Corps developed by Flashback Games Studio and the
Lordz Games Studio
(
www.thelordzgamesstudio.com)!
The
v1.21 update fixes advanced options in GC - fixed the
issue with too generous hero assignment in GC, disbanding
0-strength no longer gives prestige, kamikaze units (like V
weapons) no longer get to reform. Also the Afrika Korps intro
movie has been fixed - replays no longer display danger dots when
moving airplanes, and a few more experimental options which were
used in the Allies beta are now available via gamerules.pzdat
file.
For a full list of changes, check out the dedicated
Forum page
.
To download the updates, players can run “Check for
Update” via the game menu or download them directly from the
game’s download page

. The patch is compatible with the original game, Afrika Korps
and Allied Corps.

About Panzer Corps Afrika Korps
Welcome to the desert!
The year is 1941 and you will lead the German Afrika Korps, and
its Axis allies, into Libya and Tunisia during the North African
Campaign of World War II.
The reputation of the "Deutsches Afrikakorps" or "DAK" was
synonymous with that of its first commander Erwin Rommel. Now it is
up to you to overwhelm the Allied forces in North Africa, secure
the Suez Canal and take hold of the oil-rich lands of the Arabian
peninsula; maybe even invade the underbelly of the British Empire
and threaten its crown jewel, India.
Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps is an expansion for existing Panzer
Corps owners, and a full stand-alone for new players. With more
than 20 new units, 24 new scenarios, new dynamic and varied
scenarios and weather types, players will have their wits and
tactics tested in this turn-based strategy game of the
award-winning Panzer Corps series!
About Panzer Corps Allied Corps
The spiritual successor of Allied General is here!
The Allied Corps Campaign takes the award winning Panzer Corps
game system and puts you in command of the Western Allies. Starting
in the Western Desert and commanding the British 8th Army, the
player takes on Italian forces with support from the German Afrika
Korps. The war then moves on to Sicily and Italy where the Allies
must fight their way north against stiff German resistance. In 1944
a new front will be opened by Operation Overlord, D-Day, and then
push on to the Rhine and Berlin.
Panzer Corps: Allied Corps is an expansion for existing Panzer
Corps owners, and a full stand-alone for new players. Allied Corps
includes more than 25 new scenarios, over 50 new regular and
special elite units, and modified version of existing units to
cover the entire war in detail from the Western Allies
perspective.
Please note: Allied Corps is a stand-alone game and does NOT
require Panzer Corps to play
