The developer has a staunch NO DLC stance that is refreshing from the world of conveyor line DLC’s as a profit model. One interesting contribution is the simplicity, functional UI, and rapid development. The game is fairly derivative of past works. Contributions to the wargaming state of the art Seeing it in a lens of the real situation is troublesome as the game doesn’t have it as a goal, it’s searching for the nostalgia in reality, not the reality itself. The game would be worse off if they tried to make it an exact representation of history. In this it succeeds as it doesn’t try to fit itself into a historical shoe. It is in broad brush strokes that one invades Poland or Russia, not in fine details of trucks per division or how many MG42’s are in that lead unit. The designer has focused on making a representation of games like Panzer Corp or Panzer General and not a historical piece such as a Grigsby or Tiller game. Evaluation of the systems success at achieving the designers goals and representing the real situation In this the game works well, you can absolutely slog about Poland without much difficulty or menu digging. Your options are movement, attack, and some supply actions that replenish your units or reinforce them. The game itself is mechanically easy to play. You will know, fog of war excepting, exactly how your combat will progress. Intricacy of the system and mechanical ease of play An anti-tank gun, even if it would only be a company level asset, occupies the same physical game space as an armored division or infantry division. It is not an entire armored division with a mixed OOB. The game has combat units represented by the primary combat unit, so for example an armored unit is represented as, and purchased as, a Panzer IV.
Research and production is also represented but on a per-equipment basis and not Army Group or composition. Placement of these support assets is critical in order to assist units. Support assets are present and occupy the same space as the primary combat units. The game represents units engaging in combat on a Brigade-Divisional level. GAME SYSTEM Principal areas of reality represented in the game Scenarios are historical to a certain degree but this is not a Grigsby, ToaWIV, or Tiller title with lovingly crafted OOB’s. Supply, reinforcements, and fuel, are all present in the game. Placement of units and the order in which they are played impacts the combat results. You operate units in a IGOUGO system with support units occupying the same space as divisional infantry forces.
Someone looking for a quick scenario or one-two punch, Unity of Command like, should look elsewhere. It is a game to be savored in long stretches as you build up your units into experienced forces complete with heroes and all. The game focuses on the long burn where a scenario must be played to completion over 30 or more turns. At a higher zoom level the text on the units became blurred and difficult to read though a quick zoom in was enough to clear it up. The maps are fairly basic but the unit art is fairly well done. Allied units operate independently, you may assign them reinforcements. You play as a supreme commander of your forces. Armor and non-infantry units are not divisional but a literal single type such as Pz IV or 88mm Flak Cannon for example. Scale ranges from singular infantry units to armor. It works, but puts it squarely into the Panzer Corp/General style of combat. It is an odd abstraction to have an Infantry division occupy the same quantity of hex space as an AA Flak cannon or anti-tank gun.
Air units also occupy a single hex but on a different Z level. Units occupy a single hex with support occurring from neighboring units. The scope ranges from theater, continent, and regional conflict.
PANZER CORPS 2 TIPS UPGRADE
You begin with a range of units and can upgrade units or purchase new ones to be deployed as your advance and capture locations. You can play as any Allied, Neutral, or Axis power in a range of scenarios, campaigns, or even a random battle that is similar to something from Advanced Tactics.

PANZER CORPS 2 TIPS ANDROID
The title is both on Steam, as well as Android and iOS. Designed by Valentin Lievre, this is a first release for the designer as a self taught programmer. Hex of Steel, previously know as Operation Citadel, is a multi-platform turn based war game set during World War 2.
