I WANT MORE! There is no shortage of diversity of opinion about what WBC does or does not need. Balancing those conflicting desires along with managing the natural ten- dency towards procrastination by far too many of us is a monumental task seem- ingly made more difficult each year. The most recurring theme seems to be a call for more events—even though we find it increasingly difficult to service those we already have—let alone add more. No one gets paid to run events at WBC. The sad truth is that the same people who have made all this possible year after year increasingly pull double and triple duty because others won’t lend a hand. And more of them fall by the wayside each year. So before you add to the chorus of wants, give a thought to what you can do to help your hobby and step forward to offer to run an event next time.

For a number of years Reisswitz’s father has fought battles with friends using blocks on a sand-table. Reisswitz has come up with the innovative idea of translating his father’s game to large scale maps using small blocks with standard military symbols and a scientific set of rules that enable the movement and combat of formations to be reproduced with great precision. Reisswitz’ rules were written to enable a Blue Prussian Corps, Division or Brigade to pitched against a similar Red Prussian Corps or Division, on large scale maps, moderated by an umpire and assistants.

  • 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.
