1991 Gulf War in Panzer Leader
Had a great demo game of Panzer Leader, updated to 1991 Gulf War, using Toscach Miniatures’ Tactical Combat Middle East as a beginning guide.
Made some counters for the US, including M1A1 Abrams, M2 Bradley APCs, AH-64 Apache gunships, UH-60 Blackhawks, rifle platoons, and HMMWVs, and sent them up against a rag-tag collection of Medina Division Republican Guards (T-72s / BMPs) and remnants of a shattered Iraqi mechanized army division (T-55s / BTRs).
Just a few turns to try out the new counters, again, most of them make up just this morning.
We stream hobby every Thursday, and live games on the web every Sunday! I you haven’t already, check us out!

Will the math for the stats support things like ‘time on target’ arty barrages or an airstrike with precision guided munitions?
Can you include things like real time satellite imaging into the spotting rules?
Be interesting to see how far you could push the system before it starts to waver.
@damon – Oh, it wavers already. These counters, for example, have quite a bit a few errors in them. We’re just getting started here on a whole new era of Panzer Leader (or at least I’m just getting started here). I just have to be more careful with counter design, etc. Time on target is simple enough. Just increase the (H) values. Each turn in Panzer Leader is between 6-15 minutes depending on how you interpret the rules. So each artillery ToT artillery strike could conceivably take place within a single turn. Still need to call it in one turn… Read more »
