Panzer Battles
The Panzer Battles series recreates the decisive engagements of the Second World War at a scale of 250-meter hexes and 30-minute turns. Command companies, battalions, and supporting arms as infantry, armor, artillery, engineers, and air support combine to fight across battlefields where terrain, timing, and combined-arms tactics determine success.
Focusing on some of the most intense battles of the war, Panzer Battles bridges the gap between small-unit tactical combat and large-scale operational campaigns. Every title places you in command of historically organized formations during engagements that capture the complexity of modern combined-arms warfare. Whether assaulting fortified positions, defending key objectives, or conducting mobile armored operations, success depends on careful planning, coordination, and decisive leadership.
Designed for both newcomers and experienced wargamers, every title includes comprehensive documentation, tutorials where appropriate, and powerful editors that allow players to create and share their own scenarios. If you are new to the series, download the free Panzer Battles Demo to experience the game engine and tutorial scenarios before moving on to the full titles. Although the demo is completely free of charge, you will still need to add it to your cart and complete the checkout process so that we can generate your download link and unique serial number.
