Introduction to Panzer Battles North Africa 1941

A clip from the upcoming John Tiller/Wargame Design Studio game, showing the initial turns of the airborne landings at Maleme, Crete. We hope to publish a number of these over the next couple of months. Best viewed in 1440 HD.

Figured I might as well comment here. I own 10-12 Tiller titles and am picking them up one by one until I have them all (with the exception of Squad Battles which I'll het to in a moment). I'm on medical retirement, have my own house and have waaaaay too much time. Prior to WW2 I'm getting the most play out of The Seven Years War WW2 I'm getting a mx of Panzer Battles North Africa/Normandy - and surprisingly the demo for Panzer Battles. Although i have a lot of Panzer Camapign titles (and Japan is another one in my sights), my first love is at the more tactical scale - so, playing the ones mentioned above. It would seem that there is an oppurtunity for an early war Panzer Battles (1939-41ish) covering Poland, France and perhaps the early stages of Barbarossa. Or, concentrating on the eastern front; Barbarossa from June 41 until prior to Kursk. The Squad Battles games are my cup of tea, but to put it bluntly, they really REALLY hurt my 58 yr old eyes. And ya know the alternate icons that you can choose to bave displayed on the unit counters? I would LOVE to have attack, defense, range and movement values be placed on them as an option. The wide open, sweeping terrain in North Africa and the Russian steppes appeal to me. Tom

I got excited thinking this was new look Panzer Campaigns lol. But I like Panzer Battles just as much!

They need to upgrade the western Panzer Campaign series to Gold standard.

I have the Panzer Battles Demo. Have read the manaul and still cannot move nor shoot with them. Your video does nothing to help explain movement?? As well as a explanation of the control bars. Video does nothing to explain game.

Hi Bob, this was intended to be a teaser video. I will plan to do some tutorials with your questions in mind. Also post any questions you may have at the Panzer Battles forum at the Blitz at this url - I'm certain we can answer your questions there; www.theblitz.org/message_boards/forumdisplay.php?fid=280

Hi Bob, are you looking at the user.pdf in the manuals folder? Movement is explained in Section 4, page 18, firing is section 5, page 37. Sounds like your looking at one of the other PDF files not the user.pdf
