Panzer Combat II is a miniature wargame of World War II ground combat. The game is suitable for all scales as distances are expressed in distance units.
A distance unit corresponds to the length of a medium tank like the Sherman tank, or 5 meters in real world. In 1:48 scale, which recently found renewed interest from manufactures like Tamiyatm and Gaso.linetm, a distance unit roughly corresponds to 10 cm. A wooded and hilly gaming terrain of 2 meters or more is required at this scale.
The gaming terrain can be as simple as a piece of carpet with some books under it and stones on it to simulate hills and rocks. Add miniature houses, trees and painted rivers in order to improve gaming experience.
Both players chose a country (Germany or US) and scale models to build up their army. The name and the combat data of the unit are written on playing cards. You can also create the fronts of your combat cards with the Combat Card Creator and glue them on playing cards. There are 4 combat data:
· Move Range: maximum distance the unit can move
· Anti-Personnel Fire Range: fire range for unarmoured vehicles and attacking infantry
· Anti-Tank Fire Range: fire range for attacking armoured vehicles
· Defend Value: protection value when hit by enemy fire
Requirements:
· Java 1.5 or later
