    Codename: Panzers Phase 2 is a real-time strategy game set in the WWII era. Like its predecessor, Codename: Panzers Phase 1, it consists of three chapters, each of which depicts events from a different point of view: the Axis (Italo-German), the Allied (Anglo-American) and the Partisan (Yugoslav) campaign. Campaigns are divided into a number of missions, and feature a distinctive set of heroes, some new, some already familiar from Codename: Panzers Phase 1.

    The Axis Campaign is based on operations conducted by Italian and German forces in North Africa between 1940 and 1943. Starting on the eve of the British counter-offensive at Sidi Rezegh, it follows the Axis heroes fighting their way towards Cairo via Mersa Brega, the Halfaya Pass and the Gazala "Cauldron", the most intense armored battle ever fought on African soil. The campaign concludes with a major standoff at Tel el Eisa during the First Battle of El Alamein, the farthest point of Axis penetration into Egypt.

    The Allied Campaign begins with the dramatic stand of the British forces at Kidney Ridge in November 1942. Including such key events as the liberation of Tobruk, the battle of Kasserine Pass and the invasion of Sicily, it follows the path of the British and the American heroes across the Italian mainland to the Volturno River and Monte Cassino, the last major obstacle between the Allies and Nazi Germany.

    The Partisan Campaign picks up the story after the fall of Mussolini. Following the Allied Armistice and the withdrawal of Italian troops from occupied Yugoslavia, local resistance begins an offensive of Liberation which takes the Partisan Hero from the Dinarian mountain range and the secret hideout of General Tito to Belgrade and beyond the Isonzo River on the western border of Yugoslavia where the last battle against the fleeing invaders will be fought.

    Historical and personal events unveil from one mission to another. Each includes several objectives, which must be completed in order to advance to the next mission. Also, there are optional goals which allow players to gain more experience and prestige points. Area maps and troop positions in the Single Player Campaigns are based on historic data. Multiplayer maps are custom built around their respective objectives, and feature scripted events to provide a different, yet no less engaging, gaming experience. You will play the commander of a small military formation. Your task is to accomplish all missions successfully, and ultimately complete all three Campaigns. Your formation includes infantry, artillery, armor and supply units. You may request aerial reconnaissance, long-range artillery support, tactical air strikes and strategic bombing as well.

    At the beginning of each mission, you will be given specific objectives. Offensive operations typically involve attacking enemy positions, capturing strategic locations (towns, bridges and railway stations), defeating enemy forces and seizing bases. Defensive operation objectives include holding fortified positions attacked by superior enemy forces. You will be able to issue individual orders to any combat unit under your command, or put several combat units together into a group and manage it as a single entity. The mission is considered successful when all mission objectives are accomplished. If all your forces have been defeated or you have failed to achieve the objectives essential to the scenario, the mission is considered a failure.

    Main features:
    • 3 captivating World War II inspired campaigns encompassing the AFRICAN deserts, the scenic ITALIAN and SICILIAN countryside and the former YUGOSLAVIA.
    • NEW DAY-NIGHT CYCLES take on an even greater importance with nighttime stealth and search and destroy missions.
    • EDITOR TOOLS allow you to create your own missions.
    • Uncanny mixture of exceptional missions, optional goals and a number of surprises combined to keep game play fresh and challenging.
    • COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY in several modes.
    • Enhanced version of the celebrated GEPARD 3D GRAPHICS ENGINE.
    • New and familiar heroes.
