I posted this on TMP, but I thought I'd post here as well to see what ideas people might have. I'm thinking of what type of event to run at Tank Shock. Many of...
Chris: I've never tried this type of format, but think it would work if we had several of us (SCHGS members)to act as refs to help you with: getting people ...

There hasn't been much activity from this group lately. Here is a variant for the indirect fire rules that allows for some more variability in the number of...
I don't know why I never noticed this before, but I just discovered that panzerfaust translates as `tank puncher' and panzerschreck means `tank frightener.' It...

I was wondering if there are any official (or unofficial) rules for paras and/or gliders. GHQ makes some nice minis, and it would be a shame not to use them. ...

Wow, this sounds like a great game! ...but I'm biased :-) I'd be interested to hear how it turns out. Be sure to post the AAR to the Panzertruppe group as...
Just a few quick hitters before I post the full AAR later tonight. 1. 12 people was too many for one judge. It would have been much better with 2 people- one...
