[481010001] Achtung Panzer – Rule Book (A4 Softback)

The Second World War saw the rise of armoured fighting vehicles, in particular the tank, from experimental designs based on unfounded theories to fully developed war machines capable of incredible destruction. Wherever nations clashed, tanks could be found, often having a pivotal impact on the outcome of battles and campaigns.

Achtung Panzer! puts YOU in command of a tank platoon and thrusts you into the heart of the action on the battlefields of World War Two. Take charge, and lead your armoured forces to glory!

Missions are set during close-quarter engagements between opposing armoured vehicles on battlefields dominated by buildings, ruins, woods and other terrain – battles are close and deadly firefights!

This book contains all the rules you’ll need to take your armoured force into battle along with a campaign system that allows your crew members to progress after each encounter and your tank to be upgraded to be more effective in the next battle.

The player who best exploits the strengths of their tanks and crews, who plans their movement carefully and uses the terrain to their advantage will prevail – will your tactical prowess and the fighting aptitude of your tank crews win the day?

Inside the Achtung Panzer! rulebook you’ll find:

• • How to create your platoon and recruit your crews
