WDS Panzer Campaigns vs Panzer Battles
Hooray, Christmas is here once again, and WDS is having their annual sale.
I want to expand my ownership of Panzer-related titles, but I am a bit confused. On the WDS website under the heading 'Panzer Campaigns', there is a title 'Normandy '44 Gold'. This title includes the following battles:
Utah Beach
Omaha Beach
Gold Beach
Juno Beach
Sword Beach
American Sector
British Sector
Buron
Caumont
Villers Bocage
Carentan
Cherbourg
Epsom
But also, on the WDS website there is another section entitled 'Panzer Battles' which includes a title, 'Normandy'. This title includes the following:
June 6th; D-Day Landings 14 scenarios
June 7th; Hitlerjugend's counterattack 2 scenarios
June 11th; Operation Perch 3 scenarios
June 13th; Villers Bocage 2 scenarios
June 13th to June 14th; Carentan 2 scenarios
June 22nd; Cherbourg 3 scenarios
June 25th; Operation Martlet 2 scenarios
June 26th to June 29th; Operation Epsom 4 scenarios
July 4th; Operation Windsor 1 scenario
July 11th; St Lo 4 scenarios
July 18th to July 19th; Operation Goodwood 6 scenarios
July 25th; Operation Spring 2 scenarios
July 26th to July 29th; Operation Cobra 3 scenarios
July 30th to August 5th; Operation Bluecoat 7 scenarios
August 7th to August 8th; Operation Lüttich 3 scenarios
August 8th to August 9th; Operation Totalize 4 scenarios
August 11th to August 12th; US 3rd Army breakout 2 scenarios
August 19th; Falaise gap 1 scenario
4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards Campaign 5 scenarios
2nd Armored Division (US) Campaign 18 scenarios
So there appears to be some overlap in coverage, even though the map scale and turn time is different.
I would be interested to hear the opinions of more experienced Panzer battlers about whether I should purchase both, or whether just one would suffice, and in that case, which one?
Also, is there anything significant about the inclusion of the word 'Gold' in some of the WDS titles?
