Panzer
Grenadier:
North Wind
As 1945 began, German and American troops
struggled in the wooded hills of the Ardennes.
To the south of this "Battle of the Bulge,"
the Germans launched a separate offensive,
designed to divert American reinforcements
away from the key sector and inflict as many
casualties as possible.
Operation North Wind indeed caused a great
many casualties — though more to the
Germans, who also could afford them less.
But despite a number of tactical defeats,
the Americans held their ground and protected
the symbolic French city of Strasbourg without
drawing troops away from the Battle of the
Bulge.
North Wind is a supplement focusing
on the battles from the last German offensive
in the Western theater. There are ten scenarios,
or separate game situations, based on battles
between the inexperienced American divisions
of the Seventh Army and German units varying
wildly in quality from inept volksgrenadiers
to the tough 10th SS Panzer Division.
This module is not playable by itself, but
requires ownership of our Road to Berlin,
Battle of the Bulge,and Eastern Front games and our Red Warriors
and Iron Curtain supplements. Each
scenario has its own card in a spiral-bound
booklet.
This supplement is no longer in print.
