Panzer Corps 2

Panzer Corps 2 has some tweaks in how combat and units can act in comparison to original Panzer Corps: Wehrmacht, but still follows the same formula of Panzer General where player controls German troops through campaigns or various random scenarios with a goal of occupying strategic hexes (map consists of hexagonal terrain areas) in a given time. While many options are adjustable (such as battle result randomness, fog-of-war existence, etc.), things cannot be toggled on and off in mid game like one could in original Panzer General. Furthermore, things like weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy) cannot be turned off at all, meaning that all the planes will be grounded when it rains or less effective when it's cloudy.

The game offers several different game modes including multiple singleplayer campaigns, fictional and historic scenarios as well as random scenario map generator. For multiplayer the game supports hot seat and PBEM++/online game modes. Multiplayer includes several competitive scenarios as well as some co-op ones. The game features five difficulty levels.

Unlike previous games in series and franchise, this game replaced 2D maps and units with fully 3D ones. The map can be fully zoomed out to see it in full in which case it switches to topographic display and 2D units (unless adjusted in options to leave 3D units on topographic display), or fully zoomed in so much that you can see a single unit across the entire screen. The game also features heroes which are individuals that can be attached to a combat unit of any type.

Similar to previous games, the map consists of hexagonal grid and each player moves their troops in turn-based manner. Each unit has stats which detail its efficiency to attack and defend against certain type of enemy unit or traverse and fight a certain type of terrain. Finally, the player commander can be assigned points for strengths and weaknesses which take course throughout the entire campaign and cannot be changed afterwards. Each strength costs points and each weakness gives points.
