Panzer Battles 2 - The Official Teaser Thread

[Strela]

GerryM,

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Go to this page on John Tiller's site and download the (free) Visual Order of Battle done by Mike Avanzini.

There are also a heap of preview files available for you to look at.

To help a little, platoons are the basic manuever element. In normal play, it is preferable to have platoons combined into a company and this comes with benefits and costs as laid out by ComradeP.

Hope seeing the Visual OB will give you a feel for scale, just remember 'like' units in the same formation can combine.

Thanks to both of you for your answers. Looks like I would be able to handle the battalion-level scenarios. I checked the documents and found out how many of those are in Kursk (assuming a Battalion listed scenario means no more than a battalion).

David, can you give me a ballpark figure for battalion or smaller scenarios in Normandy?

Also with a game of this scale, could you have future games that touch on other parts of Kursk and other parts of Normandy. I understand that PzC games covered the whole but seems you could a few games out of one PzC game?

Hi Gerry,

Keep in mind battalion is very small when it comes to size of scenario. I would estimate 10 - 15%. Regiment/Brigade is more of a sweet spot and there would probably be another 25%-30% at this scale. Regiment & Division are the most prevalent.
