About the game
[Alan Arvold comment: This is a reprint of my article "New British Scenarios for Panzer Leader" from the BOARDGAMER Special PANZER LEADER Issue. It has ten scenarios, three from my article, six more from various other articles in that same issue, and a photocopy of the Dieppe scenario from the GENERAL Vol.21, #3. The counters are sub-standard. Throw this one away. Read full comments on Counter Moves here: https://grognard.com/info1/plartrev.html] This add-on to Panzer Leader: Game of Tactical Warfare on the Western Front variant includes unit corrections for the Armies of the United Kingdom Forces. Also includes new scenarios that put the U.K. effort in 1944 to liberate Europe and defeat Germany in proper perspective. Ever wonder why the FireFly Tank with its 17lbr is valued incorrectly in the original game? This NEW and exciting variant brings to life the struggle of U.K. forces over Germany - from Dieppe to the Ruhr Pocket! Variant INCLUDES: Rule booklet for UK Variant New Scenario's such as: Villars Bocage Operation Totalize Ibbenburen Hells Highway Menzelen Bieville Douvres Bretteville Saint Lambert Dieppe Over 140 Factory DIE CUT Counters Expands: Panzer Leader: Game of Tactical Warfare on the Western Front
