Peiper Pbg Set

Description

This set includes 4 of our famous Pocket Battle Games complete with die-cut counters and link rules that explores the critical thrust by Kampfgruppe Peiper during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944.

While the 1st SS Panzer Division was the spearhead for the offensive, the tip of the spear was Kampfgruppe Peiper, a hodgepodge organization that was, for its size, the strongest unit in the entire battle.

Their job was to punch a narrow hole through the Allied formations, all the way to the Meuse River bridges. Their tools included a full battalion of gigantic "Tiger 2" or "Royal Tiger" tanks, backed by Panthers and virtually every other top weapon the Panzerarmee could field.

Yes, even in a world war with stories like Stalingrad, Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Battle of Britain, there's something about the mix of shock, desperation, and enormous tanks at the "Battle of the Bulge" that grabs the imagination.
