Greetings once again to our glorious Panzer Corps 2 community!
So the biggest new feature we have not yet talked about with Fall of Poland is we have a brand new integrated image and messaging system now. This is something we know players have been wanting for a very long time, and it’s great to finally have it.
As you can see, we’re debuting this system with War Stories Fall of Poland, but we’re excited to invoke this system to improve the flavour and context of these mid scenario messages in future Panzer Corps 2 content.
Additionally, we’re hoping this will be a boon for creators of custom and user made content and campaigns. It’s going to be very exciting to see what kind of imagery our players use to enhance scenario events. Real historical imagery? Custom artworks? Iconic World War II photograpgy? We can’t wait to see the awesome WW2 theme visuals people come up with.
As you can see, this is the new Polish Uhlan Cavalry unit in its default form. They are mounted, with excellent mobility, but rather poor combat stats. This form is meant for rapid movement, to either cross the battlefield quickly or participate in assisting with long distance flanking and encircling efforts.
Here you can see their movement radius is significantly lower than their mounted switch form, but their combat performance is dramatically improved!
You are tasked with defending the line here, but you will very quickly find the German attack forces to be overwhelming, as they definitely were historically. We designed Forced Withdrawal objectives to allow players who want to fight against impossible odds to do so if they really feel like it, but we don’t force everyone to fight impossible battles that break history.
We’re back again with the second Developer Diary exploring the upcoming Fall of Poland DLC Campaign for Panzer Corps 2. Based on some of the community feedback we’ve gotten already, we have a few points to elaborate upon, as well a showcase for the latest round of intriguing new units being added to the already extensive roster of WW2 tanks, vehicles, and aircraft that are part of Panzer Corps 2!
When we focused this campaign entirely on your CORE units by not having auxiliaries or AI controlled friendly forces, our goal was to drive home that we don’t want players to feel you have a cushion of ‘expendable’ troops you can readily throw away as they do not progress through your campaign. Poland in 1939 was outmanned, outgunned, and outequipped by Germany; every soldier at your disposal is indispensable! Our selection Key Characters, a mixture of veteran soldiers, new recruits, and even a couple of civilians are meant to be the personification of this sentiment.
To try and quickly summarize, one of the key elements of Germany’s successful Blitzkrieg that historically dismantled Poland in mere weeks was their ability to take control of the skies over Poland. In the opening days, hours even, of the German invasion, Polish aircraft were targeted ruthlessly before many of them could even get off the ground.
If you’re hoping to have any sort of Air Force to work with in the Fall of Poland campaign, you’re going to have to scrape together whatever Limited Stock or Captured Equipment you can find. Or... if you keep the right Key Character(s) alive, they might be able to help you stock up on not just standard Polish Aircraft such as the P.11 Fighter, but they could prove to be your window into accessing some extremely rare prototype equipment!
Speaking of which, let’s see what some of these new Unit Models look like...
Image Credit: tanks-encyclopedia.comAs is befitting a game with ‘Panzer’ in our title, our next new unit is a solid tank, actually a prototype 14TP tank. This is not a vehicle that saw combat historically during the invasion of Poland, so it is not going to be a unit you can requisition as you would other tanks such as the TKS or 7TP, but you might be able to field a few of them... if you can find the right Stockpile of them squirreled away somewhere, or perhaps get a certain Key Character to lend a hand.
Up next we have some new Polish aircraft. The P.11, afterall, was a design from 1931, and Poland wasn’t planning to just use that fighter forever. The PZL.50 Jastrzab was designed in 1936 to be a much more modern fighter interceptor, while the PZL.38 Wilk was hoped to fill the roles of a heavy fighter/light bomber not unlike the also twin engine Bf-110.
The last two Polish units we’ll spotlight today are actually both modifications of the iconic Polish light tankette, the TKS. The TKD, with its lack of turret and larger 4.7 cm wz.1925 gun transformed the diminutive TKS that normally would only be armed with a single machine gun into something much more akin to a Light Tank Destroyer.
For the Panzer II, we have the IID and IIG now joining the current existing Panzer IIC. In the Panzer IID, we have improved ground speed over the IIC thanks to four large road wheels and torsion bar suspension. The Panzer IID would eventually go on to serve as the foundation for the Flammpanzer II Flamingo.
As an experiment in Panzer Corps 2 as a whole, something we might be dabbling with are full fledged Command Units. We sort of saw this originally with the Panther IVH, the Command Tank with a Panzer IV turret and dummy gun on a Panther Chassis, but now in Fall of Poland we’ll be seeing the Command Tank version of the Panzer I in the Panzerbefehlswagen, a Command Recon Car in the Kfz 14, as well as a Command infantry unit with the new Wachtruppe.
As a final note, here is that complete list of new units and new models debuting alongside the Fall of Poland Campaign coming soon:

Welcome to the first Developer Diary exploring the upcoming Fall of Poland DLC Campaign for Panzer Corps 2. There’s all kinds of interesting details to be found in the latest upcoming Panzer Corps 2 Campaign, so let’s get right into it!
At the heart of the campaign, from the very first scenario to the very last, are a group of Key Characters. As you journey through the campaign you will encounter these Key Characters directly on the battlefield. They are figures who will be fighting alongside you, or in need of your protection, as war threatens to consume Poland all around them.
This control is a double edged sword though, because it will also mean you are fully responsible for these characters. Their fate will be in your hands! But to once again avoid unpleasantness around them, keeping these Key Characters alive are actually entirely optional. If a player really isn’t interested in these characters and their missions and the historical information they have to share, you can safely play through the entire campaign with any or even all of them having been killed off!
We didn’t want to mandate players to keep these units alive at all costs, it is going to be entirely up to you whether you want to devote your forces to helping these characters to reap the rewards they offer, or not to, as you can opt to focus purely on your mission objectives to progress the campaign.
Your primary orders, the task needed to progress the campaign, is directly south of your deployment zone.
However, the Key Character here who needs your help is all the way on the other side of the map, way up here on the Westerplatte Peninsula. 
So as you can see, right away you have a dilemma. Do you focus purely on your primary objective, or do you risk splitting your forces in two opposite directions to help escort this Key Characters to safety? That decision is yours to make, but if you leave this Key Character behind, it will be the last you see of them for the remainder of the entire campaign!
One more example, from further into the campaign:
In this battle, your primary orders are actually very close by to your deployment zone, just a few hexes due west. However, if you’re looking to continue to shepherd and safeguard Key Characters, they’ve requested your help to be escorted deep into enemy territory, way down here on the bottom edge of the map!
Greetings once again to our awesome Panzer Corps 2 Community!
And I swear, we did definitely not individually count this batch of files for updating to exactly get that ‘1939’ number! Those with even passing familiarity with World War II will recognize that fateful number as being very special, but even more so beyond that and what makes this an extraordinary coincidence...
Right away, we’ve got quite a few things to unpack here. Yes, we've seen Poland 1939 played from Germany’s perspective in Panzer General, Panzer General II, Panzer Corps, Panzer Corps Grand Campaign DLC, Panzer Corps 2, Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations DLC, and in practically in every other Panzer General-type game you can name. But this time, Panzer Corps 2 is offering something different once again, and we’re offering up a campaign about the defense of Poland. This is Allied campaign content starting right at the very beginning of World War II, on that fateful day of September 1st, 1939!
As with the Fall of Poland campaign itself, we’ll have more information for you coming in the days ahead, but to give a quick summary, we’re going to put the fate of any campaign characters more directly into your player hands. Their survival, or even their downfall, will stem directly from your gameplay. No more unalterable fates written in stone, this campaign will be your War Story to write based on how you play it out!
We’re currently developing 2 new DLCs so expect new mission locations, units, and many other exciting additions as the story continues.
