Panzer Division. Eastern Front Battles. Punched. Complete. Zip-lock.

The game: Recreates on an operational scale some of the major battles that took place in the Soviet Union during World War II. The game attempts to simulate in a realistic manner the tactics and operations of armored warfare. The rules are organized into a series of five “instructive” scenarios, each introducing new terms and procedures which build on the experience of the previous ones. Scenarios 6-20 span the years 1941 through 1945. Five optional rules introduce more realism and complexity: supply, fuel, paratroops, variable reserves, and weather. One hexagon = 1000 meters; one turn = 15 minutes; one unit counter = one company, battery, or battalion. The Piker Game Company, 1977. Design: S. R. Lorenz.

Components: Two geomorphic map sheets; 480 counters; rules booklet with Scenarios 1-5 and three appendices: details on unit composition, examples of line of sight, and examples of mine clearing and air power; booklet with Scenarios 6-20 and time record; two identical cards, each with seven charts and tables; cover page with supplemental rules, comments, and errata; two dice; zip-lock bag.
