Battles for the West presents eleven historical scenarios for use with Battlegroup Panzer-Grenadier wargames rules, (though, of course, they can be used for any similar rules system). Each scenario provides players with objectives, orders of battle, deployment and terrain maps. The scenarios cover the main periods of fighting in the west, ranging from the campaign for France in 1940 to the Normandy campaign and its aftermath in 1944, through to the German Ardennes offensive in late 1944 and in Alsace in early 1945. The scenarios cover a variety of mid-sized actions using both infantry and armour.
(The battles of Operation Market Garden are not covered here as it is hoped they will be the subjects of a dedicated volume.)
ADVANCED RULES for Battlegroup Panzer-Grenadier are also included and cover Combined Assault Combat Groups, plus Off Board Artillery Rules taking into account national differences, pre-registered and prominent targets, miss deviations distances and Naval Gunfire support. In addition the Advanced Rules take account of Snipers whilst expanding the rules on AFV Hull Down Positions, Turretless AFV's, the KV2 and King Tiger, the Bogged Down Test, along with additional AT factors for exceptional gun types.
Finally the AMENDMENTS to existing rules, introducing Tank Group Commander, more information of AT weapons and inherent AT weapons plus revised factors, along with expanded Dead Ground rules and additional and revised points costs.
