Description Description
Band of Brothers: Ghost Panzer is a fast playing game of squad level combat in WWII. It covers the exploits of the German 11th Panzer Division in Russia from 1941 to 1944. The rules are very simple (no combat charts are needed) with very few exceptions to remember and yet the game is meant to be all encompassing and will include infantry, tanks, and artillery. Based on years of research, the game system uses a unique suppression mechanic. There are no longer two unique states for a unit, but varying degrees of suppression. This allows suppression to accumulate from multiple fire sources and means that the unit will not take a morale check until it is asked to do something. You will never know for sure how your units will respond until they are needed. Although casualties can be caused by artillery and heavy weapons (which makes them prime battlefield targets), squads will never cause significant casualties shooting at range at dug in, first line troops. Their goal is to fire and maneuver. Sections of the enemy force must be pinned down and eliminated from up close. The system itself forces this realistic play. In a similar fashion, the system rewards you for spreading your troops out and other realistic game play. Another unique feature of the game is its use of Proficiency and Casualty ratings to differentiate squads in areas besides just morale. Ghost Panzer is a STAND ALONE GAME, but is also the second in a series. Band of Brothers: Screaming Eagles was the first in the series and followed the U.S. 101st Airborne Division. Other games under research are "The Old Breed" (the US 1st Marine Division) and a module that follows Commonwealth forces.

Excellent game that is even better than Screaming Eagles. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in World War II combat. With retrospect this game has aged really well. The scenarios in this module are excellent. I have heard some say this game is formulaic and boring. That is definitely not the case with many of these scenarios.

Playing my way through in order. Major improvement with the new Proficiency rules for inf., and tweeks to heavy weapons casualty/suppression numbers. The 'command range'/proficiency combination for tanks/AFVs finally shows how just the tech. stats do not tell the whole story of combat effectiveness. GREAT INSIGHT!____GREAT GAME!

The only squad level game you need. Properly rewards correct tactics with only 6.5 pages of easily-digestible rules. All game-y nonsense has been purged from this system with the ruthlessness of an NKVD anti-retreat detachment. Very elegant, it’s the quintessential “easy to learn, difficult to master” wargame.

Have played the first training scenario twice on Vassal now. Takes some getting used to the new modifiers, but I am liking it. I wish the Russians could shoot... anything at all! It feels a little smoother with the new modifiers. I need to get the physical copy and play more of the armor scenarios before I can rate this. Okay, the mixed infantry/vehicle scenarios on the big boards are just great. Wow.

This tactical game forces you to act like a real squad leader, spreading your forces out, suppressing the enemy before advancing on them, etc. Not having to refer to a 100 page rules manual keeps this game simple and FUN. Yet, tactical decisions have to be made to ensure victory. The game will probably just click with you, or it won't and you'll move on. But if it does click, you'll enjoy it immensely!
