GMT Games Panzer: Expansion 3 – Drive To The Rhine – The Second Front (2nd Printing)

Manufacturer:

GMT Games

This expansion shifts the action to the Western Front where US and British forces drive the beleaguered German units across Western Europe and into the very heart of Germany.

The Reference & Scenario Book includes a host of new optional rules covering the Staggered Initiative, Spot Removal, Delayed Reaction, Bocage Country, Defensive Fire, and many others including the complete rules and reference tables for airborne and glider operations. A few new special units, like the Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank, stoke up the action to a new level.

You will find no less than twelve versions of the Sherman tank in both US and British livery, Cromwell tanks, Hellcat, Jackson, and Achilles tank destroyers, Greyhound and Humber armored cars, anti-tank guns, four new aircraft and many others. The Germans are also well represented with the Marder III, STuH 42, Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, Hetzer (including the flamethrower version), SPWs, PSWs, and more.

The ten scenarios include seven historical-based and three actual historical scenarios that cover a wide range of action on the Western Front between US, British and German units, including two clashes between the British 7th Armoured Division, Panzer Lehr, and the SS Tiger tanks at Villers-Bocage.

Also included is a detailed TO&E book outlining eight US and British (Commonwealth) divisions. The German formations include Panzer Lehr, two Panzer brigades, and a s.SS-Panzer Abteilung 101.
