A groundbreaking board game of armored warfare on the Eastern Front in World War II.The game is tactical scale (company/platoon sized units) with geomorphic map boards. The counters are 1/2' and 5/8' and were very striking for their time.A stand-alone follow up game, Panzer Leader, was set on the Western Front. Although it introduced a revised rules system, Panzer Leader used geomorphic map boards that were compatible with those used in Panzerblitz.The second direct descendant of Panzerblitz was 'Arab-Israeli Wars', which involved modern armored combat in the Middle East.Panzerblitz: Hill of Death was released in 2009. It is only related to the original Panzerblitz by way of name, scale (tactical), and general topic (World War II armored warfare, albeit on the Western Front). PB:HOD is not a redesign or expansion of the original game.Avalon Hill Complexity Rating for Panzerblitz: 6 - BoardGameGeek
