Plan Your Missions Wisely with CDV's New Codename: Panzers - Phase Two Mission Editor Tutorials

Armchair Generals looking for help designing new missions for Codename: Panzers, Phase Two have several new tools at their disposal, as today CDV has released a new Flash-based walkthrough of the game's mission editor, along with a PDF document detailing the basics of the editor. Last, but certainly not least, Wargamer.com, one of the world's top wargaming sites, has posted the first part of their feature series documenting the editing tools.

The Flash walkthrough, available at http://www.panzers.com/index.php?page=download.us.phase2, is a quick overview of the basic steps of building a new mission from the ground up - detailing terrain design, structure placement, vehicle and unit planning and basic event triggers. For those new to modding or looking to get their feet wet in the Phase Two editor, this animated walkthrough is a quick and easy way to get started.

The Codename: Panzers, Phase Two editor manual, available at http://www.panzers.com/index.php?page=download.us.phase2, covers the same basics as the Flash walkthrough, but adds more detail and descriptions of the editor's feature set.

To serve as an additional editing resource, Wargamer.com, a top Wargaming Web site, has posted the first part in their series detailing the editing tools at http://panzers2.wargamer.com/editor.html. This feature discusses the intricacies of designing maps, illustrating how to use the map editor to design terrain and even include special weather conditions.
