About the game

Inspired by Alan Arvold's website ( http://www.imaginative-strategist.layfigures.com/PDFs/Informal%20History%20of%20PB.pdf ) on PanzerBlitz and Mike Nagel’s ‘Tactical Game X’, I began work on ‘Grand Tactical Game X’ (GTGx) in January, 2024. This variant & expansion game for Jim Dunnigan’s 1970 classic wargame, PanzerBlitz (Avalon Hill). Instead of 6 minute / 360 second game turns, you will now be able to play each 1 second of time as a game turn, and make each turn valuable and logical, as you use USAF Col. John Boyd’s OODA Loop combat engagement theory. This rules & play aid set will be available for download and playing with your existing copy of PanzerBlitz. Why not give this Fast Paced (tm) variant a try?!
