About the game

What you do in a play session

Panzer General: Allied Assault drops you right into the final stretch of World War II, spanning 1944 to 1945. Things got serious with D-Day, and now the Allies have a shot at pushing the German army back towards Berlin. The game cleverly blends cards and a board to create dynamic tactical and operational combat. You'll relive epic battles like Utah Beach, Operation Market Garden, and the infamous Battle of the Bulge, aiming to turn the tide against the Germans.

What's cool is that you build your own custom deck of 60 cards, tailoring your strategies. There are over 12 different scenarios, playable solo or in a two-player duel, simulating combat situations between German and American forces. Think D-Day, Bulge, Market-Garden, Metz, and more. It's based on a video game, but brings the experience to your tabletop in a quick and engaging way. If you enjoy wargames with a touch of card management and historical scenarios, this one might be a great pick. Get ready to command your troops and change the course of history!
