Campaigns and Commanders is a new series of book supplements adding campaign games and roleplaying to our long-running Panzer Grenadier game system. New rules allow Panzer Grenadier players to create characters representing officers in the armies that fought World War II. The characters participate in battle scenarios just like normal Panzer Grenadier leaders, but have far more detailed skills and abilities that add a whole new dimension to Panzer Grenadier play. Characters fight a sequence of battles where they can gain combat experience, improve their leadership abilities and acquire new skills. Most importantly, they can earn medals for bravery and move up the ranks and move on to new campaigns later in the war. In addition to the campaign scenarios, new rules let players design their own scenarios and create their own campaigns. There are detailed instructions for creating an entire campaign in advance, plus a variable scenario generation system that lets players create each new campaign scenario just before play for maximum "Fog of War." This book includes three campaign games. |
