Just like Panzer General, Panzer Corps is a somewhat complicated “rock, paper, scissors” game. Winning a scenario with little time to spare earns a marginal victory and substantially fewer victory points. Winning a scenario less quickly earns a regular victory and fewer points. In a campaign game when a player quickly takes all key cities in a scenario, a decisive victory is won which grants a substantial point bonus. Experience points usable in repairing units, purchasing new units, and upgrading units are gained by capturing key cities, other victory point cities, and destroying enemy units. The player attempts to take key cities within a time limit. Experienced core units can be “over-reinforced” to make them more powerful. Units gain experience by attacking and destroying enemy units. Unit types include infantry, tank, recon, anti-tank, artillery, anti-aircraft, fighter, tactical bomber, and strategic bomber.

The player takes the role of a German commander who has a set of core units containing a mixture of weaponry. Panzer Corps may succeed in its goal of bringing Panzer General style wargaming back to modern PCs. Fog of war, weather effects, and supply are options available to the gamer. Roads, railroads, bridges, airfields, and ports all come into play. There are different terrain types including plains, mountains, rivers, and seas. For example, one battle map includes all of Norway, parts of Denmark, and the surrounding seas. Panzer Corps is played on very large map overlaid with a hex grid. Many PC wargamers got their start with one of the Panzer General games. Panzer General is one of the best beer & pretzels PC wargames of all time and is still played by many according to wargame forums on the web.
