Achtung Panzer Supplement turns back time
Well, Iron Coffins provides a gateway back into the earlier war years by bringing s host of vehicles not covered in the original game. Also rules and scenarios for desert. jungle. winter and city fighting are presented. Thematic ambush terrain beckons to be built. .
As with the original game, the expansion is dependent on a set of cards which layout the vehicles covered.
My own stable which includes Polish, French , Russian, English and German armor in the 1939 to 1943 period. Now my BT7 can prowl for the Pzkw II. My Char bis and Somuas are slated fighting Mark II's & III's.
I can even extrapolate some Vichy vehicles by adjusting some British portee trucks. Tanake anyone?
It will allow me to run as far back as the Spanish Civil War, again with an eye to creating cards for vehicles not covered. I could even imagine VBCW era games with contraptions tooling down country lanes.
To fully use the supplement, the expansion card deck for early war vehicles is needed. If your kits include pre 1944 vehicles. this one's for you.
While it's Bolt Action based, the graininess built in to the rules gives them their own flavor. I think the use of the mdf 'cockpits ' help organize the game play. Ahhh, more toys, same amount of time!
