Panzer Grenadier: Eastern Front board game



Played a couple of scenarios with my Dad from PZG Eastern Front game which I obtained early last year but have only just got around to trying.
A sort of remake of Panzer Blitz but with Command and Control included.
This along with other rules makes for a better game in some ways than venerable PB but less free flowing.
Still overall a fun experience and worth another outing.
There are 112 (!!!!) scenarios included which is excellent value although one suspects not all are balanced.

New acquisitions

Despite a dearth of gaming time at present I did manage to feed the addiction :-)

Panzer Grenadier board game tried (The Road To Berlin)

Had a game with recently acquired Panzer Grenadier game the 'Road To Berlin' module and a decent game it is too.
A successor to Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader and comparable to White Star Rising but with bit more meat on bones.
Very easy to pick up with not too many special rules/exceptions to remember (main one we forgot was that units can have to shots including Tanks within Efficiency rating - all Germans and Soviet Guards in this module).
I also have the Beyond Normandy game which I will have to try out.
A whopping 75 scenarios of varied size included so a vast amount of replay value.
The counters are what I would describe as functional compared to White Star Rising or Hill Of Death but correspondingly easier to read than WSR in particular.
Couple of quirky armour ratings for some AFVs in my opinion (such as Su100 having 3 armour vs T34s 5 ?) but only minor quibble really.



































Another bunch of recent board Wargame acquisitions.
I have also bought quite a few painted figures as well of late (but no pics) mainly via EBay but with a full painted French 1814 Army and a SYW Prussian force currently being completed for me (I simply do not have the time to devote to painting at present)

Two new games from EBay












Managed to obtain two more board wargames I have been looking for on EBay today.
Looking forward to their arrival hopefully later this week.

Been considering a Panzer Grenadier series game and whilst this one described as not best to start series with I got it at decent price (£25) and subject matter appeals greatly


Again one I have been looking for as it gets decent reviews (seems bit of under appreciated gem) and again the 'Gotterdamerung' subject matter appeals



















Much more of this I am going to have to put myself out on street corners as well as the wife !! :-)
