Club Philosophy

 

The Panzer Campaign Club was formed to play the games by HPS and John Tiller that are World War II related. Any future games that relate to this period will also be supported when they become available. We DO NOT support or CONDONE any activities of any neo-nazi, extremist or anti-American organizations.
No such support should be assumed.

There are currently 18 games that are supported by the PzC:

All of the above games can be purchased from HPS.

We encourage all  players to play with the most up-to-date patch that HPS has, the patches can be downloaded here :


Panzer Campaign Series

Squad Battle Series


The PzC wishes to provide members with a setting where the military and historical flavor of this period can be explored and savored among friends. The PzC, while competitive, wishes above all to promote good will and camaraderie for war gamers of this period. 

Only one side may be joined, either the Axis or Allied Army.  You can start and play a sanctioned game, playing any side.
All members will start at the lowest rank for their respective armies. Points will be awarded for games played, and administrative duties performed. 

Friendly banter is encouraged, but rude and antagonistic behavior will not be tolerated. As well as cheating !

 

 

 

Army Organization

 

Each Army will consist of the Following :

Army: An Army Commander-in-Chief is either chosen by the club president or by the retiring commander-in-chief.

Corps : Officers that wish to be a Corps Commander must contact their Army Commander. He will then set you up with a Corp if possible and he deems it the correct course of action.

Division : Officers that wish to be a Division Commander must contact their Army Commander. He will then set you up with a Division if possible and he deems it the correct course of action.

Regiments : All officers that join the club will be assigned to a regiment of the army that they have picked,  you could eventually become a Corps, Division or Army leader should you wish.

Automated System

The automated system that the PzC uses will require a username and password.  Username and Passwords will be sent to you upon joining the club, Please feel free to send a message to the Club President if you want a different username and Password. The system will cover the following areas : 

Creates a member Username Page 
Assign New Game ID's
Calculate the End Game Reports
Creates a Member Battle History for each officer
Promotes officer to the next rank upon reaching the criteria
Awards Honors for certain scenarios that are played in which a Major Victory was achieved

After the process of all New Game Reports the program will send a confirmation mail to both players involved with a Game ID, what side the players are playing, the Scenario that is being played, How many turns, and the type of game it is. ( Battle or Manuever )

After the process of all End Game Reports the program will send a confirmation mail to both players involved with the points each officer received, Type of decision that was reached, ( Major Victory, Minor Victory, Draw ), Promotions if a officer has reached the criteria, and any honors the players has received upon reaching the criteria. 

 

 

 

Club Scoring

 

The following calculation will be used to determine the amount of points awarded to each player upon completion of a scenario. 

Win/Loss points + Turn Points + Victory Bonus (Vp) = Score

Decision

Decision Points

Vp Bonus

Major Victory

5

+50% Total Score

Minor Victory

4

+40% Total Score

Draw

3

+30% Total Score

Minor Defeat

2

+25% Total Score

Major Defeat

1

+20% Total Score

Each Turn = 1 Point

Example:

A Major Victory in a 10 turn game will be as follows for both players
5+10=15+7.5=22.5
1+10=11+2.2=13.2

Games between players from the same side ( Maneuvers ) will use the same format, but without the Vp Bonus.

Discussion Boards

There are 4 boards in the Panzer Campaigns Club.

Clash Of Arms Tavern ( Just a place to talk about whatever )
Challenge Forum ( Place to post or accept challenges from other club Members )
General Quarters ( For PzC Club Officials )
Axis Forum ( Axis Players Only )
Allied Forum ( Allied Players Only )
 

All discussion boards within the club should be checked as often as possible. 

Besides friendly banter these boards will be used to get information out to all the club membership. Also, in the case that someone is having troubles contacting you via e-mail they will most likely try to reach you this way.

Respect for your fellow members, proper language, and good conduct are the rules governing all the boards within the club. Above all we are here to have FUN, not degrade, insult or hurt other members.

 

 

 

AWOL

An officer is considered AWOL if his chain of command has not heard from him within 2 months. If this occurs that officer will be moved to an inactive post.

Should an Officer re-establish contact while on the reserve he will be given an active command and will retain rank and points.

After 6 months on the inactive reserve list, the member will be automatically removed from the roster and would need to re-join as a new member. Should the officer return after being removed he will have to start again from ground zero in both rank and points.

 

 

 

 

Poor Game Conduct


Poor game conduct is not condoned in this club!

Computer gaming enthusiasts often see codes and cheats available in computer games. Some game enthusiast's pride themselves in being able to hack the game code and develop cheats of their own. This is frowned upon in this club. All members are on an honor system and are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that would make Mama proud.

The club considers the following as poor game conduct. Intentional replaying of any portion of a turn. ANY altering of battle files, parameter data files, or order of battle files without the mutual consent and cooperation of your opponent. Viewing opponents files without permission to gain information, including miss sent files. Misrepresenting oneself in the club to obtain information or advance in rank. Falsifying games. This club is meant for fun, if you feel you must manipulate situations to win, go somewhere else.


As a Last Resort

If you suspect a player is willfully and blatantly cheating contact your immediate superior and let him review files or raise issue to the President of the club. Always handle these matters discretely, as everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Accusations of cheating can be very damaging to the club and to individuals concerned. All communications regarding cheating MUST be handled privately and discreetly. 

Players that attempt to PREEMPT the boards verification and/or results by making PUBLIC statements will ALSO be looked at closely by the board. In addition, players that attempt to sway results with PUBLIC opinion, using SPAM tactics, will not be allowed and is vigorously discouraged. The board shall review the situation and all results will be kept on file. Cheating is grounds for dismissal. Likewise frivolous accusations will not be tolerated.

The best defense is to not play against a person you suspect of cheating.
