Master Panzer Corps 2 With These Must-know General Traits!

In this video we will take another look at the commander selection screen in Panzer Corps 2. It has been about a month since Panzer Corps 2 has been released so we can all engage in a conversation about how to set up your general with some hindsight. Cheers!

In my first complete campaign I played with:
+ Panzer General
+ Liberator
+ Master of Bitzkrieg
- No overstrength
+ AA Veteran
- Inefficient supply
- Trench slog


Took the West Coast on turn 16 with about 35k in prestige. Of all the negative trait, I would say Trench Slog is the easiest one to get away with, just make sure to get a lot of engineers which are one of the best units in the game anyway so why not? And a LOT of artillery. By final scenario I had 8 Hummels, 6 engineers and 3 flame tanks. City defenders just melted.


Next game I will DEFINITELY swap out Liberator with Trophies of War because not only do you get more prestige you actually get enough enemy equipment to use it while it is still worth using.

I prefer Trophies of War to Liberator. You can absolutely generate more prestige with Trophies of War if you play to maximize surrenders. Deadly Grasp and Flexible Command both add tremendous synergy, allowing you to quickly surround enemy units and then surrender them.

on hardest difficulty i find Green Army is the most punishing negative trait, i would rather use Trench Slog which is not that bad, just use units that ignore entrenchments against cities (there are both infantry and tanks that can do that), that is the easiest negative trait you can choose

I have played diffrent set ups on generalism now. No refill during battle is deffinitly the hardest negativ to play with, id say. Concerning your build i still like it, even though there are quite some draw backs. Right now i would guess that playing without green army seems stronger to me. I find that i can safe way more prestige with elite/upgrade play styles, since i have to refill less. 2 star troops are a completly diffrent unit than none stars on generalism. Also i like the strategic flexibility of free upgrading.
I just started a campaign with allmost no negatives on barbarossa and i am with about 5k prestige banked at moscow now. Talking of which, i am guessing u will run into trouble there, since u will need a lot of refills in battle there, which are same price as elite refills after battle...
Basicly i am saying, playing elites safes lots of prestige during battle, just as supirior equipment does. You have to spent to much during battle and in the long run your none stars will keep losing more and more strength points vs. stronger units.
I am big fan of hex control, anything else is just a nice bonus. Tank and Infantry general is very nice too, as is iron grip. Killer team strongly deminishes in return later on. The general traits have the draw back, that the exp is split between troops but the are nice for the free overstrength on former 3 point troops.
What i really liked a lot was the anti air upgrade, since a couple of fighters is enough.

In general every unit, even anti tanks have a good use. I also like the storch a lot now!
Anyways, so much to write really.

Moscow is the bench mark. I know that it is allmost impossible to winn without refills during battle and that air units do not hlp much because of bad weather and you have to fight a lot in city terrain. So artilery and nfantry/pioners are most important units in the game.

I'm going to try out with perimeter control next. I think killer team isn't so important unless you start in a later date. You can get those 3 heroes from Poland campaign. I always play with elites but I have so much more prestige since I play on regular difficulty. Elites kill greens so easily. Overall I feel elites are much better (but very costly, you can spend 400 on elite replacements for tanks) in Panzer Corps 2

I am watching to see, if I want to purchase this game. My expertise is for HOI4. There it is absolutely necessary for Germany to act fast, furious & focused for the reasons you give. Hesitation & procrastination only lead to defeat. Interesting that this concept is also in PC2. Certainly it is an historical imperative
