SB Features in PB - kolc - 03-04-2014 When I look at the screen shots of the new Panzer Battles games, I think Panzer Campaigns. What are the Squad Battle features that are part of the game? RE: SB Features in PB - Compass Rose - 03-04-2014 My 1st thought in seeing the screen shots is SB not PzC.  In PzB Kursk, they are using bigger sized counters with the unit pictures on them, just like you see in the SB series. Also the map looks 100% SB to me. No more super small counters and hex sizes for these aging eyes!

RE: SB Features in PB - GerryM - 03-04-2014 Hello: The scale is one of the main differences. PB is 250m hexes and 30-minute turns. Scenarios/battles last no more than a day. Engine changes also that some of the experts will be able to explain better. Gerry RE: SB Features in PB - Strela - 03-04-2014 (03-04-2014, 08:20 AM)kolc Wrote: So its a visual thing.... A lot more than visual. Download the designers notes from here and there is a list of changes in the FAQ section.

The ranged fire routines are the same as PzC, but the modifier has been changed to make it more effective. I think that the game looks like PzC too, at least under the hood, but after several turns, I am convinced that it plays more like SB. I am pretty sold. Jeff RE: SB Features in PB - kolc - 03-05-2014 Thanks for the replies....yes I don't like to read...it makes me sleepy
