Command a regimental panzergrenadier battle group through individual battles or in campaigns, including a grand campaign that takes you from the first shots fired on 1st September 1939 to the final battles of 1945.

1.  This unique war game lets you command a mix of maneuver and combat support units that you can assemble into combined-arms battle groups. Build these around a core of infantry and armor, and reinforce them with combat support elements like anti-tank or engineer platoons. Then command them across battlefields where you must synchronize maneuver and fire, and plan for ammunition replenishment, in order to defeat an enemy who fights according to tactically-sound battle plans. Fight historical scenarios or use an editor to design your own offensive or defensive battles where you can go for an easy day by crushing a mass of early-war light tanks with King Tigers, or challenge yourself to stop a flood of Soviet armor with nothing but infantry and anti-tank guns.

2.  Your selection of units includes:

  a. motorized and mechanized infantry companies;

  b. StuG assault gun companies;

  c. tank companies ranging from the early Panzer IID to the heavy King Tigers;

  d. batteries of field artillery and multiple rocket launchers that support you with indirect    fire and lay smoke screens;

  e. combat engineer platoons that can lay and breach minefields;

  f. reconnaissance detachments;

  g. anti-tank gun platoons;

  h. tank destroyer platoons that range from the very first Panzerjagers to the massive Jagdtigers;

  i. forward air controllers who can call in reconnaissance and strike aircraft as well as fighters to protect you from enemy air attack; and

  j. platoons of deadly 88mm Flak guns to defeat the enemy's heaviest tanks.

3. Face off against a selection of 159 British, French, German, Polish, and Soviet unit types.
