Learning about things like the Italian Pasta Rule is one of the reasons why I love it here.

we talked about it on the GrogCast in 2017

Around the 27-minute mark or so.  The whole CNA discussion starts around the 22-minute mark

I was part of a group that played the first six turns of CNA, back in the '70's. We gave up.

Just curious...why did you give up?

This wasn't on my radar at all...then I saw it has all the Operation Mercury scenarios. SOLD!

Craig,

Thanks for the great After Action Report. We have been very happy how the game has been received (and enjoyed) by the community.

You should try the Variable Victory Point version of the scenario and see how you fare!

Strela,

I know you guys are busy. Any idea when the variable VP will be ported back PBK/PBN? Seems like a game changer.

I'm doubling down to get the remainder of the Panzer Campaigns series upgraded to Gold status currently. After that, we will patch the two earlier Panzer Battles games. That said, there won't be any scenarios that use the new feature as every scenario would need to be redone and rebalanced.

I may choose a few to upgrade as examples if I can find the time. Operation Bluecoat comes to mind from Normandy as that was the scenario that convinced us we needed the feature...

Thanks for the info, sir. Kind of figured it would be to time consuming to port the feature back.
Happy Holidays to you and yours sir.

I really enjoyed the AAR...I've played Panzer Campaigns and Squad Battles but never Panzer Battles.  Looks great. On my wish list.

I wish Richie 61 could be here to see, and mod, this one. Looks great! Does it include an Italian Pasta Rule?  ;D

Those counter graphics?  Do you play the game from that view? 

I have France 40 and the counters look different, is there something I need to c change?

I haven't played Panzer Battles in a while, but they are really nice games and a sufficiently different experience from PzC and SB. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Try out the demo first, as it offers a variety of scenarios (13 in total) from 1940-43. I thoroughly recommend it.
