Panzer Campaigns
The Panzer Campaigns series recreates the major operational campaigns of the Second World War at a scale of 1-kilometer hexes and 2-hour daytime turns (4-hour night turns). Command battalions, companies, armored formations, artillery, and air support across vast battlefields where logistics, maneuver, reconnaissance, and operational planning are every bit as important as tactical combat.
Spanning every major theater of the war, the series allows you to command Axis and Allied forces in some of history’s most decisive campaigns, from the invasion of Poland and the blitzkrieg in France to the deserts of North Africa, the vast Eastern Front, the mountains of Italy, Northwest Europe, the Pacific, and a selection of carefully researched hypothetical campaigns. Every title combines extensive historical research with deep, turn-based gameplay that rewards careful planning, sound operational judgment, and effective combined-arms warfare.
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.
