  • 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.

Als Kinder schnippten wir Steine H. G. Wells, Litte Wars gegen Treibholz im Fluss und phantasierten da- bei von Flugzeugträgern und Kamikazes. Unser Taschengeld floss in Transparentbeutel gratiger Plastikheere in Grün, Braun, Grau (leicht entzündliche Heere, wie wir mit Freude und zum Unmut unserer Eltern bald herausfanden), und Playmobil gewann über Lego, weil es Gewehre und Pistolen hatte. Der Blick des Feldherren über seine Truppen hatte etwas unerklärlich Aufregendes und Erhebendes, und standen sie nur auf den Spiel- brettern von Risiko (Parker Bros., 1959), Axis & Allies (Milton Bradley, 1981) oder Advanced Squad Leader (Avalon Hill, 1985). Wenn wir unsere kleinen Panzer aus Plastik (oder Pappe oder Zinn) von Irkutsk nach Kamtschatka schoben und zum Angriff würfelten, dann fühlten wir uns nicht nur wie, wir waren Gene- räle in den Kommandoräumen, die unweigerlich in jedem Film über den Zwei- ten Weltkrieg auftauchten. Selbst wenn wir den Kriegsdienst verweigerten: Im Nachspielen des Krieges lebten wir einen Traum. Und mit Warcraft (Bliz- zard Entertainment, 1994) und Command & Conquer (Westwood Studios, 1995) träumten wir von elektrischen Heeren. Diese imaginierte Nähe von gespieltem und realem Krieg scheint kein Zufall, liest man die bis heute luzideste (Nicht-)Geschichte des Videospiels, Claus Pias‘ Computer Spiel Welten (2002).
