## About This Content
After the stunning defeat of Poland shocked the world, the Western Allies
prepare for the inevitable. The British Expeditionary Force has landed on the
continent, Belgian and Dutch forces man their fortifications, and the vaunted
French Army mobilize their formidable heavy tanks for combat.
After German plans fall into their hands during the Mechelen Incident, the
Allies think themselves ready for the coming storm. But in truth, they have no
idea what is coming as Germany launches Von Manstein’s master plan to conquer
Western Europe!
To execute the plan, your veteran Wehrmacht forces are called to action to
once again!
## SURPRISE ATTACKS

As part of the Manstein plan, it will fall on you to execute a series of
surprise attacks against the Allied powers. In addition paratrooper assaults
behind enemy lines, you will also get special opportunities to destroy the
enemy air force… while it’s still on the ground! Strike quickly, and your
Stukas and Messerschmitts can bomb and strafe enemy aircraft to pieces before
they know what hit them.
## CHAPTER 3 OF THE AXIS OPERATIONS GRAND CAMPAIGN

Take command of Wehrmacht forces once again in the continuing Axis Operations
Campaign for Panzer Corps 2. Re-unite with your loyal command staff and as an
extra special feature, get ready to fight alongside one of the greatest German
Generals in history, Erwin Rommel. Join forces with Rommel’s 7th Panzer
Division to carve a path of devastation through the Low Countries, France, and
beyond in this third chapter of the Axis Operations Campaign.
## CONTINUE WITH YOUR OWN PANZER CORPS

Players can import their core forces that completed the previous Axis
Operations 1939 campaign or use a preset core force to directly launch into
the Axis Operations 1940 campaign.
## MISSIONS FROM HISTORY

Explore both obscure and well known battles of World War II through various
scenarios and bonus mission objectives taken straight from the pages of
history. In addition to normal combat, you’ll be tasked with objectives such
as launching daring paratrooper insertions, searching for a lost Panzer
Division, observing Italian efforts in Albania, and perhaps even invading the
shores of Britain, if you dare to challenge the British on their home soil!
There will also be an entirely new mission type: a training scenario. These
scenarios are very simple, micro engagements where you can catch a breather to
help newly purchased recruits fast track their experience levels. A little
target practice might help them maintain a competitive edge to match the
growing strength, power, and experience of the enemies you will continue to
fight over the course of a Grand Campaign.
## GAIN AND SPEND INFLUENCE

By completing bonus objectives and achieving various degrees of victory,
you’ll earn Commendation Points that can be spent on a variety of unique
rewards ranging from access to stockpiles of captured enemy equipment, special
prototype vehicles, and even convincing historical officers or special female
assistants to join your army.
## WESTERN EUROPE AFLAME

From Norway, to the Low Countries, to France, Britain, and the Balkans,
players can again expect to encounter a huge variety of adversaries in this
campaign. Plenty of different battlescapes await, as does the ongoing
opportunities to capture and field enemy equipment as your own.
And watch out for the return of the Nemesis system, as a certain French tank
commander named Charles de Gaulle may prove to be quite the thorn in your
side!
## THE AXIS OPERATIONS CONTINUE

The end of 1940 is not the end of your campaign though, it is merely the
latest step. At the conclusion of Axis Operations 1940, players will again be
presented with the option to save their core force for use in the next
installment of the Axis Operations Campaign.
Any campaign of the Axis Operations can be played individually as a standalone
campaign.
