Panzer

Panzer is a complete game system designed for small unit actions from platoon to battalion-sized formations in World War 2. The primary focus is Armored Warfare simulation, but Leg (Infantry) and Towed units are also part of the game. Each 7/8” double-sided counter represents a single vehicle, towed gun or aircraft. The 5/8" double-sided leg unit counters represent squads, half-squads and sections, including their attached weapons.

It's a modular rules system with Basic, Advanced and Optional rules, which the players can mix and match according to taste - you can keep it simple or make it as complex as desired. All Unit data is included on the full-color Data Cards. The streamlined chit-based command system moves the action along at a brisk pace.

The base game comes with 10 Scenarios, some of which are aimed at new players and use only the Basic rules.
