  • Panzer Warrior
    Panzer Warrior Panzer Blitz/Panzer Leader Rules consolidation Consolidated by Fred Schwarz Incorporating Optional Rules by Byron Henderson, and some new rules by Fred Schwarz Developed by Byron Henderson and Keith Plymale V1.21 12-26-2016 Preface I have been playing PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader since the early 1970s. PanzerBlitz was the first wargame I owned and I have great nostalgic feel for the game. At times it has sat on my shelf un- played for long but I come back to it now and then. The game has an elegant simplicity and is very good game of positioning and maneuver. But I have always been bothered that nuanced differences exist between PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader; and I don’t like having to make the mental leap each time I change games. Also I have never really liked the lack of Indirect Fire ability in PB but don’t like the lethality and record keeping of those rules in PL. So I set about consolidating the two rule books into one, while integrating many of the excellent rule changes done by Mr. Byron Henderson. For a more detailed look at how I set about doing this consolidation and why I made certain decisions, please read the Consolidator’s notes at the end of the rules. This is my first endeavor at doing such a rules consolidation. I hope I have been successful. I ask the gaming community to take some time to play with these rules as written and to provide feedback to me. At some time down the road, I will take another look and see if your thoughts and suggestions should be incorporated.

  • CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ, HIS TRINITY, and the 1812 RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN PART ONE Though He Wrote His Seminal Work on War Almost 200 Year
    Journal of Slavic Military Studies, 19: 295–341, 2006 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN 1351-8046 print DOI: 10.1080/13518040600697944 FSLV1351-8046Journal of Slavic Military Studies,Studies Vol. 19, No. 02, April 2006: pp. 0–0 CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ, HIS TRINITY, AND THE 1812 RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN ClausewitzBrian Drohan and the 1812 Campaign Brian Drohan This article analyzes the 1812 Russian campaign using Clausewitz’s con- cept of the trinitarian nature of war. This approach uses a case study to delve deeply into understanding the subtle, philosophical nature of Clausewitz’s trinity. The article is serialized into two parts; the first dis- cusses each of the trinity’s elements. The second part applies each trini- tarian element to the Russian campaign. PART ONE Though he wrote his seminal work On War almost 200 years ago, Carl von Clausewitz’s intellectual achievements still dominate the study of warfare across the globe. One of Clausewitz’s theoretical insights in particular remains especially relevant at the beginning of the 21st century. Clausewitz developed a subtle, philosophical understanding of the nature of war as a human phenome- non articulated in his concept commonly called the Clausewitzian Trinity. This essay approaches the tripartite nature of war with a largely philo- sophical perspective: It will examine each trinitarian element individually as Clausewitz characterized those elements. Next, this article will analyze each element of the trinity as it is expressed in Napoleon’s Russian cam- paign of 1812. By viewing the tripartite definition of the nature of war through the lens of a historical campaign, historians and military thinkers will achieve a more comprehensive, holistic understanding of the trinity.
