The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Richie61]

Panzer Battles does fall between them but is probably closer to Squad Battles with the added bonus that armour & other arms are well represented. The scale keeps it playable and it will be a great series for tournaments and PBEM's. There is also enough PzC DNA in the game for it to feel familiar but also enough innovations that there is some different twists in playing it.

David,

Granted I don't own it yet, but I see way more PzC in PB then SB from what I see (graphics) and have read so far. The combining and breaking down of units is completely new to me. I have read about PzC but I own at the SB titles, so the talk about Arty & air power usage are over my head since I don't play PzC or whatever the WWI game is.

Here's one for you. How is ammo handled? Example: Does an infantry platoon have unlimited Panzerfausts? In SB I can have a few and need to old fire/ conceal a unit till a T-34 drives by to fire off my one or two Panzerfausts and hope for a kill?

Also, how does PB handle Panzerfaust equipped platoons? The game is 250m per hex, yet the Panzerfaust has ranges of 30, 60, 80 and 50meters? I am guessing that the tank platoon would have to enter into my hex and then a type of abstract calculations would be performed? Some type of melee type combat?
