Panzer
Grenadier: Campaigns and Commanders
Vol. 2: The King's
Officers
Shepherd
British and Italian officers through the
Second World War with the latest installment
in our Campaigns and Commanders series. Panzer Grenadier: Campaigns and Commanders is a series of book supplements that adds
campaign games and World War II roleplaying
to our long-running Panzer Grenadier game
system. The series introduces new rules
that let Panzer Grenadier players create
Leader Characters representing officers
in the armies of the great powers that
fought World War II. Leader 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.
Each book in the Campaigns and
Commanders series includes historical campaign
games that let Leader Characters fight a
sequence of battles where they can gain combat
experience, improve their leadership abilities
and acquire new skills. Most importantly,
Leader Characters can earn medals for bravery
and move up the ranks so that by the end
of the campaign they can be high-ranking
officers in command of large military formations.
Leader Characters who survive a campaign
can move on to new campaigns later in the
war.
In addition to the campaign game
scenarios, each book includes rules that
let players design their own scenarios and
create their own campaigns. There is a detailed
point-based force-generation system for players
who want to plan an entire campaign in advance,
and a random scenario generation system for
players who want maximum “Fog of War” in
their campaigns. This gives the system infinite
re-playability and lets players take their
Leader Characters into any World War II combat
situation imaginable.
The King's Officers includes the
campaign games "The Desert War 1940-1941," "The
Desert War 1941-1942," and "War
in the Hedgerows, 1944." It also includes
historical articles and strategy tips on
how to use Leader Characters in battle. It
is not playable by itself, but requires ownership
of Afrika Korps, Desert
Rats and Beyond Normandy to enjoy all of the campaigns.
