PanzerKampf is a new 1/150 scale armored miniatures game system covering WWII on the Eastern Front. Panzerkampf pitches you into the fight via a short set of rules that have color and detail where it matters. Your ace crew, veterans of many such engagements, may conquer all, live to fight another day, or or suddenly die right after the glimpse of an invisible cannon mouth. Protection, hitting power, speed, and crew experience are essential in this game. But no one survives without luck, representative of which are a number of random events that can help sway the balance one way or another. Engines stall; turrets jam; and from out of the sky come Stukas and Sturmoviks loaded with deadly guns. But can they always tell friend from foe? [Forum]
