Since the original Panzer Corps, Slitherine and Matrix Games have continued to release a series of campaign scenarios recreating the European Theater of World War II.

Please see Avery Abernethy’s Panzer Corps game review on. This review will not attempt to cover all aspects of the core Panzer Corps game but the features of this new expansion and some comments on the series as a whole.

Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps is an expansion for existing Panzer Corps owners as well as a stand-alone game for new players. Earning supply/prestige by capturing objective hexes unrealistic. Difficulty levels make the game too hard or too easy. Decent additions to AI, terrain, and unit diversity.įailed Basic: Debatable that the new features warrant the price tag.

In February 1943, the XXXXVIII Panzer Corps took part in the battles around Kharkov, and in June it was committed to the southern flank of the Battle of Kursk as part of Hoth's Fourth Panzer Army. However, it was quickly reformed and used by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein's Operation Winter Storm efforts to relieve General Friedrich Paulus' trapped Sixth Army still in Stalingrad. During the Battle of Stalingrad the corps was trapped and its major units, 22nd Panzer Division and 1st Armoured Division (Romania), were destroyed. Thereafter the corps joined the Fall Blau offensive towards Stalingrad under Army Group B.

įrom late 1941 to May 1942, the corps took part in defensive operations in the Kursk area. As all German Corps on the Eastern Front, the XXXXVIII Corps implemented the criminal Commissar Order. The corps took part in the Battle of Brody early in the campaign, and later saw action at Berdichev and Kirovograd. The Corps was attached to Field Marshal Ewald von Kleist's Panzer Group 1, a part of Army Group South. At the dawn of Operation Barbarossa, on 22 June 1941, it was redesignated as the XXXXVIII Panzer Corps. The corps was originally formed on 15 December 1940 in Germany.
