The second chapter gives much more specific information on the “current” technologies and how they were used in combat. Chapter three covers the tactics associated with armored fighting vehicles in different roles and against different types of targets. Chapter four is a supplement to the overall historical guide, detailing the historical campaigns included with the game (for in-depth data on the specific scenarios, see the Gameplay Manual, chapter seven). Reference data for all of the units in Panzer Elite is provided in chapters five and six.

  • Breakthroughs: Armored Offensives in Western Europe 1944
    Breakthroughs: Armored Offensives in Western Europe 1944 Ed., Barry R. Posen and the MIT/DACS Conventional Forces Working Group © 1994, 2009, SSP/MIT draft: not to be used or quoted from without the consent of Barry R. Posen Preface June 6, 2009 marked the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings, the beginning of the challenging campaign to invade Germany from the West. Less remembered is that a period of brutal attrition fighting then began on the Normandy Peninsula, which did not end until the success on July 25 of “Operation Cobra,” a classical “breakthrough battle.” Shortly before the end of the Cold War, I and a group of graduate students became interested in the potential lessons that the experience of breakthrough battles on the Western Front could offer for a possible clash of arms between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Though that danger subsided, our interest did not. We launched a comparative study of several of the best known battles of this kind initiated by the British, the Americans, and the Germans and completed a draft of the study in 1994. As one might imagine, no publisher was then interested. As the 65th anniversary of the Normandy landings approached, I recalled that I had retained digital copies of this work, and that an intervening invention, the internet, would allow us to share it. This study would normally have gone through one more editing before publication. We do not view this as a truly finished product. In the last fifteen years, however, the authors have developed other interests, and additional work is out of the question.
