In Panzer Grenadier: Lithuania’s Iron Wolves we told the stories of four campaigns that never happened, stories of Lithuanian resistance to Polish, German and Soviet aggression. In the actual events, the out-numbered and out-gunned Lithuanians did not offer armed resistance. Lithuania suffered brutal German and Soviet occupation anyway. Legend of the Iron...
"Eastern Front" is a reprint of the original "Panzer Grenadier" game by Avalanche Press. However, it's much more than just a reprint, with the game expanded noticeably and a new revision of the rules, taking lessons learned throughout the series. Art has also seen a major update, along with a number of other improvements: The new maps will use the style...
From the publisher's web page: For 900 days, German troops ringed the city of Leningrad, trying to capture the Cradle of the Revolution while Soviet soldiers and militiamen fought just as desperately to keep them out. Nazi savagery caused the deaths of well over a million civilians. Repeated assaults failed, as did Soviet attempts to break the siege. "St....
From the publisher's web site: March on Leningrad is a supplement based on the German drive to capture Leningrad, and the Soviet defense of the approaches. Mike Perryman has designed ten scenarios, or separate game situations, based on battles that took place south of Leningrad between June and September 1941. This module is not playable by itself, but...
From the publisher: In 1951, Canada created a brigade to serve as its contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s defense of West Germany against potential Soviet aggression. Initially designated as the 27th Infantry Brigade, the unit would go through a number of re-namings and re-structurings over the years that followed until the withdrawal...
From the publisher's website: The First Great War ended in December 1916 with Wilson’s Peace, a negotiated settlement that left all parties vaguely dissatisfied (except those called on to die by the millions). The Second Great War erupted in August 1940, with Russian, French and Italian armies attacking the Central Powers in a naked grab for territory and...
From the Avalanche Press website: Formed during the U.S. Army’s 1941 pre-war expansion, the Third Armored Division fought its way from Normandy deep into Germany. Breaking German resistance, the division suffered enormous casualties – over 16,000 of them, 2,500 of them killed in action (including division commander Maurice Rose). Late in the war, the...
World War II was scheduled to begin on 28 September 1938, when German armies would cross into neighboring Czechoslovakia. Unexpectedly, Britain and France agreed to almost all German demands, and the Munich Agreement caused the Germans to cancel their plans. The Czech Army numbered 1.5 million men, with 17 regular and 17 more reserve infantry divisions and...
In May 1940, German panzer divisions attacked the Soviet Union, beginning a two-year campaign that finally ended in the summer of 1942 with the defeat of the Stalinist regime. Immediately afterwards, Germany’s supreme leader turned his attention to the Western allies, Britain and France, beginning the lengthy conflict that would become known as the Long...
From the Avalanche Press website: In the spring of 1940, the French Army appeared invincible. They awaited the expected German offensive with great confidence, ready to repel their ancient foes and overwhelm them in 1941 with a massive wave of new armored divisions. Instead it was the German panzers that did the overwhelming. Despite heroic efforts in...
From the Avalanche Press website: 1940: The Fall of Luxembourg gives you the entire order of battle of Luxembourg forces in the Second World War in Panzer Grenadier format. That adds up to a whopping 16 counters, including leaders, plus four more markers for the curious Luxembourgeouis (Luxemburger? Luxembourgian?) defense strategy: stop the Germans by...
From the publisher: When France fell to the Germans in June 1940, she possessed a strong force of tanks and armored vehicles – many of them technologically superior to those of the Germans. Yet even better tanks and guns had been designed. Some of these existed as prototypes, and some had even entered production but had not reached front-line troops in...
