Gaining Prestige Points
Prestige Points are accumulated through regular game play of Panzer General II. These Prestige Points can be used later on to purchase new and improved units for your army, but it can be rather time consuming to accumulate enough for every unit in the game. Thankfully there are some simple tips and tricks you can use to maximize the amount of Prestige Points you gain for each victory.
Never claim your last victory objective until you see the notice saying "Brilliant Victory: Last Turn." When you do see this, make sure to save your game immediately. If you don't receive a valuable prototype unit, simply reload your game and complete the objective again. Finding the right prototype unit through this method can actually save you quite a bit of Prestige Points.
There is also a method that can be used to obtain an unlimited amount of Prestige Points. Once you have cleared a city of all enemy units, place one of your own inside that city. Now cancel the units that are moving into the city and you'll be able to keep all of the Prestige Points that were originally earned. You can repeat this process as many times as you'd like to gain additional Prestige Points. This trick only works if the difficulty is 100 percent or greater.
Play As Both Sides
Select the option "Play By Email" at the Main Menu of Panzer General II and save your game as soon as it starts. Reload your saved game and you will now be able to play as both sides in the war.
Artillery Tips
Artillery units normally take a long time to reload between shots, but there is a glitch you can take advantage of in order to speed up the process. After you've placed your artillery and it has fired off the first round, start to buy another unit. When given the option to replace your new unit, double-click on your originally artillery unit to replace it. It will now be fully loaded and ready to fire again.
