Panzer Leader 1987
Join us for a summary review of a recent game of modern-era Panzer Leader, played between Oriskany Jim and Arrigo Velicogna. It’s a Panzer Leader take on the “War that Never Was” envisioned so many times in works like The Third World War: August 1985, Team Yankee, Red Storm Rising, Red Army, and so on. It’s the mid-late 1980s, and the Soviets crashed across the border into West Germany.
In particular, its a “tip of the spear” meeting engagement between elements of Soviet 8th Guards Combined Army / Second Western Front and American V Corps / CENTAG. In particular, a forward battalion task force (reinforced) of 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment has been ordered to Rossdorf, there to meet, engage, and hopefully at least slow the vanguard operational maneuver group of 79th Guards Tank Division.
