I always asked for an AH game at Christmas. Had all the old titles: D-Day, Stalingrad, Gettysburg, Jutland. A few years ago started buying them again on eBay. Had two shrink-wrapped Civil War titles, Grant Takes Command and Stonewall in the Valley. Never got to open them. I guess I accumulated between 15-20 titles. My wife later filed for divorce (not over the games, haha) and I had to leave it all behind. Such a shame. I guess she threw them all out. I asked if she would ship them to me, she never did.

This one I still have, bought it around 1980 when I was in college. These games were much easier to decipher and understand at 20 than when I was 10. Very enjoyable and fun game, I played the heck out of it solitaire. A few years later I progressed to Squad Leader.

Great review of a great game! Get the manouver cards if you can, they enhance your survivabilty if nothing else... My only reservation is the mentality of the players; all about getting the kill, not about completing the mission and surviving, but then where is the exitement in artillery spotting....

It had some unique features as I recall. Airbase units representing ground crews, for instance. Something I don't believe I've seen in other games since, but actually quite realistic (and playable). Combat Results might have been a little different too. Fun game-- considering it was Avalon Hill :)

Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane! Like many others, my 40 year love affair with wargaming began with the iconic Panzerblitz, circa 1982. Panzerblitz and PanzerLeader consumed hundreds of my gaming hours in the early 80's. I've thought about finding a nice original example, but ended up downloading both game elements (and many variants) from Greg's Panzerblitz site. I've found most of 30+ year old games often have a musty smell to them.
