MISSIONS FROM HISTORY


Panzer Corps 2: Frontlines - Bulge introduces players to the first downloadable content, immersing them in a dynamic and engaging narrative battlefield that unfolds during the epic Battle of the Bulge, starting a few days before the fateful date of December 16th, 1944.

The campaign kicks off with a smaller-scale US attack along the border region between Belgium and Germany, providing a compelling starting point for players. This historical conflict, which raged on for 4-6 weeks, comes to life with a unique twist that ensures an engaging gameplay experience.

This introductory battle serves as a manageable yet thrilling experience, allowing players to acclimate to the game's mechanics and storyline. As the campaign progresses, it sets the stage for a dramatic turn of events—a surprise German offensive that adds layers of complexity and excitement to the gameplay.

Rather than cramming the entire Battle of the Bulge into a single scenario, it has been divided into smaller battles, each representing just a few days of in-game time and covering a limited geographic area, typically spanning a few dozen miles. This approach grants players an unprecedented level of detail, allowing them to relive key moments of this monumental battle.

NEW CHALLENGES


Panzer Corps 2: Frontlines - Bulge introduces a new layer of challenges. In the early stages of the German offensive, you'll be outgunned and outnumbered. Additionally, the adverse weather conditions limit the main Allied strength – airpower. To ensure an enjoyable and balanced gaming experience, you can earn rewards, including heroes and extra units, and select from different scenarios three times during the campaign, enabling you to choose between different areas of the battle.

Very short - a small number of scenarios. Starts with a new (US) army with barely any experience. Many supplementary units were under-strengthed and easily die. I have the entire series and this DLC isn't much fun IMO.

This is a really nice, fun first entry into the Allied side of Panzer Corps 2! The historical aspects and storytelling really helps bring it to life, as well as giving a nice bit of immersion. I can't wait for more

We need an actual Allied AO. Or a Pacific AO. Do a Soviet campaign. Cut expense by just reusing most AO assets from 41 on you're just on the Soviet side and can use/carry over their AWESOME units. This wasn't worth it

If your a fan of the Panzer Corps 2 Grand Campaign then this will be awesome and until now short of individual scenarios you couldn't play the Allies well this is playing as the U.S has new commanders like Patton ECT,

This DLC does not really appeal to me at all. You pretty much get all your units from the get go and the first few missions are a snooze fest. You heavily use infantry due to the nature of the map, but the enemy has

Bulge changes game design to be more contained, not so much over-powered heroes and small sized core battles. It's pleasant change after AO1944, AO1945 and AO1946 where it didn't matter much what you had as you could
