Scenario objectives are challenging enough to keep you engaged, enemy forces are balanced skillfully enough that you’ll be digging deep tactically to overcome them, and there’s enough map variety that every unit on your roster will find itself useful. There are strikingly few gameplay-related alterations outside of enemy force compositions and scenario details, though the pieces have been rearranged to provide a new experience that has been honed into a science. While weaknesses from previous content have been shored up, 1941 doubles down on what makes Panzer Corps 2 what it is. I can’t stress enough that Axis Operations – 1941 really is just an expansion of the impressively designed DLC campaign. Here you can see large portion of the Greek front suffering after their supplies have been cut off by a handful of German units. Sometimes all your allies need is a pinch of help. Your allies clearly haven’t been able to scrape together the brains needed to run a successful operation yet and you’ll have to sit through the slog that’s their turn when they’re up to bat, but hey, at least you’ll be able to back them up in their efforts and deliver them victory as you always do. They’re likely to put you through your paces and I’d even suggest that it’s the most challenging parts of the Axis Operations campaign to date aside from watching your AI-controlled allies blunder through whatever battles they find themselves in. Though you’ll likely crush the Yugoslavian resistance early on whether you bring your old reliables or use the default starting force for the DLC, your foes will become an increasingly larger threat all the way up to the point that you’re facing off against the Soviets in Operation Barbarossa. As the latest extension of the DLC campaign, you can roll your forces straight from 1940 into it, allowing your veteran soldier to fight all the way from the Spanish Civil War until now. The fight for the Balkans kicks off Axis Operations – 1941. 1941 carries on the tradition of letting you decide where your forces are fighting.
