Since panzer corps 2 was announced I decide to do the 42-43 grand campaign expansion for panzer corps. It starts with you defending Europe from allied raids than to defending Italy. First scenario is St Nazaire. Have to defend the dock and u boats stationed. Reinforcements will help the troops north Allied commandos have sneaked into the dock! My troops in north have resisted allied attack and I will have to move troops to defend the dock Had to search this up a bit to make sense en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Nazaire_Raid#Campbeltown_explodesThe British rammed a ship full of explosives into the dock. Really liking the detail they put in. troops in north went on offensive but British attacked with more troops so I move them back to avoid destruction. my troops in the south defeat the last of the commandos and my troops in north resist the enemy attack holding onto objectives. but dock was still damaged by the ship exploding so marginal victory.

My force must move to save them .org/image/3r0h6n8tx/] [/url] .org/image/mkma3n71x/] [/url] These reinforcements must be "volunteers" from the east I suppose .org/image/v6tb44xn5/] [/url] .org/image/ky5fc1yz5/] [/url] The panzer with flame is very effective against infantry and troops from north defeat last of enemy .org/image/chgj8mphz/] [/url] .org/image/u8s5n34wn/] [/url] All trains are going along the route and no train lost so decisive victory

.org/image/vm3phm5xd/] [/url] Scenario 3 Hardelot. Have to protect 6 buildings but the area is so large my forces can't cover the whole area. Only thing I know is there will be a group in the middle and 2 more groups will come from sea and inland .org/image/s62gart03/] [/url] They destroyed a hangar! .org/image/9zfjwxn7d/] [/url] .org/image/ojwmrri61/] [/url] The allies are landing in the north but I only have few units to defend there. I am still finishing off the units in the middle .org/image/qredncgu5/] [/url] .org/image/68jhia2wt/] [/url] I was able to contain the units in the north with a few reinforcements but I have to let the rest of my units stay in south to respond to last wave of enemy. Eventually some enemy came from the south and I sent my units after them. Having a Churchill on their side is not accurate bu I get they need to provide a challenge .org/image/aw3xdsh7x/] [/url] .org/image/rl5d9pdt9/] [/url] They destroyed one of the buildings so I only got a marginal victory

.org/image/er5iyc47z/] [/url] Scenario 4 Dieppe I must defend Dieppe. The garrison in Dieppe won't last long. I am focusing my core units on the west of the city .org/image/o6ql0q2d3/] [/url] .org/image/s4duq4p6f/] [/url] My units advance to the east of the city and encounter an elite enemy unit lead by major general Roberts. This is first scenario with much enemy Air Force. .org/image/5svzz1crh/] [/url] .org/image/rtccfnvfh/] [/url] Much enemy came from the west so I had to set up defensive line. .org/image/q6e31g3gv/] [/url] .org/image/m3108noeb/] [/url] Eventually I destroyed many of them units and I was able to take some victory hexes. Could not get all the victory hexes so marginal victory. This is the first scenario that can really do much damage to your core if your are not careful due to the amount of enemy and their Air Force.

.org/image/h6uatjw8f/] [/url] Scenario 5 Gironde I split my troops on the two sides of the river. Goal is to protect the cargo ships docked from attack and capture all VH .org/image/69u0tufbb/] [/url] A submarine comes but naval mines block it .org/image/j90ilnz29/] [/url] .org/image/7xxuxas75/] [/url] What the! Commandos have come from the submarine and attacked one of my infantry units while they were being transported, completely destroying them .org/image/5d0k51glf/] [/url] Destroying the lead commando unit .org/image/civnxxjlb/] [/url] They enemy has destroyed one of my cargo ship! .org/image/c6y9vakhr/] [/url] .org/image/gu4bx27un/] [/url] .org/image/xvx5z5mpr/] [/url] I defeated the enemy attacks and went on the offensive to capture their VH in the north.i encounter 2 churchills which are very strong. My east group took their objective but the Churchill was too much to handle for my west group so I pulled them back .org/image/a16oft99x/] [/url] Since I could not capture all Victory hexes or protect all the cargo ships I got a lost. Luckily for this scenario a lost does not end the campaign. This is the last scenario in 1942 against the allied raids, next few scenarios will be defending Italy from the allied invasion in 1943

Scenario 6 Syracuse To Italy now and I been given a lot of new units to buy and prestige. I upgraded a few of my tanks to tigers and got better self propelled artillery. Goal is to save as many Italian units as I can by moving them to retreat hexes in the north My core is in north while Italians are in south Airborne is blocking Italian retreat so my units deal with them Map of the retreat. The main allied force is advancing on them A couple of the Italian armored units are retreating past my core force now but the infantry is too slow and eventually got killed All Italian units are reaching my core now. I start to retreat all my units Acting as a rearguard the SE panzer and last of my units retreat I saved more than 7 Italian units so I got a decisive victory. I saved 13Italian units A view of map at end. There was a 2nd wave coming.

Neat! So many allied troops were coming in the end! All the more reason to get the hell out of them once you rescued the Italians. i pity the player who makes a stand here.

Just realized the medal they give in the end is the "war merit cross" (or the KriegsVerdient Kreuze/KVK in German)

.org/image/j2vxbnyu3/] [/url] Scenario 7 Etna line north I was given choice to fight Americans or British. I chose to fight the Americans, goal is to hold as many victory hexes.

The enemy tanks in the north find it very difficult to advance because of the mountains .org/image/k9e0ugkjx/] [/url] .org/image/adcxuterx/] [/url] I got marginal victory, if I evacuated a bit more I would have gotton decisive victory.
