Panzer General 2 Mac Version

Panzer General II is a computer wargame by Strategic Simulations, Inc. Released October 15, 1997, Panzer General II is the sixth SSI game in the ' General ' series and the first in the 'Living Battlefield ' series. It takes place during World War II, covering events from the Spanish Civil War in 1938 to hypothetical battles in 1946. Panzer General is turn-based game, set on operational level hex maps. One plays lone scenarios from either Axis or Allied side and against a computer or human opponent. In Campaign Mode, the player assumes the role of a German Generalissimus against the Allied computer. Panzer General is an operational-level game, and units approximate battalions, although unit size and map.

Before release, there were two special pre-order variants of Panzer Corps 2 available for sale. One was the General Edition, which came with exclusive bonus content, and the second was the Field Marshal Edition, which as far as we can recall was the same as General except you also got the first two DLCs for free.

Those two editions have now been removed from sale. The Field Marshal version makes the most sense as both DLCs covered by that particular version - Axis Operations: Spanish Civil War & Axis Operations: 1939 - have both been released.

In their place though, Slitheirne are offering an ‘upgrade pack' that will allow you purchase the General Edition content separately, if you want to.

Unsurprisingly it's called the General Edition Upgrade, and is available for £12.99 as a DLC with the following content:

Panzer General 2 Manual

• New Bonus scenarios: 4 brand new scenarios in which you can test your mettle against the AI. Face new, original situations and adapt your tactics to overcome your opponents.
• New Camo skins: New 75 exclusive skins are available for your vehicles. In Panzer Corps 2 you can customize the appearance of your units, and with the General Edition you have access to special skins which aren't accessible in the base game.
• Digital printable Campaign tree chart: A beautiful hi-res printable artwork depicting the branching single player Wehrmacht campaign in Panzer Corps 2 and which choices you can take.
• Digital Wallpapers: 4 hi-res desktop sized digital wallpapers depicting new Panzer Corps inspired artwork.
• Digital Soundtrack: 16 beautiful tracks composed by the talented Bill Meyers, Dan Bewick and Alexander Shargin, inspired by classic movies on World War II. Available for download as high quality .mp3 files.

As far as we're aware that's the extent of what the original General Edition purchases received anyway. Anyone who already owns the General or Field Marshal editions don't need to worry - their bonus content is secure and they won't need to repurchase anything.

This new pack is also available via Steam, and there is a new bundle titled the ‘Field Marshal Edition Bundle' that will net you the base game, the General Edition Upgrade DLC and the two expansions released to date.
