John Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:39:13 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=18.html I have been messing around with Norman Beveridge Jr's old "Desert Rats" Panzerblitz variant that he created WAY back in 1972-73(?). I have modified the numbering of the scenarios to have them progress chronologically. In an attempt to make this revision look spiffy, I went ahead and used the counter designs from IM Strategist and Greg's Panzerblitz sites. Now that all sides use platoon sized units, some of the scenarios may be just a little high density, but what the heck, the idea of more burning tanks in the North African desert is an awesome concept! I intended for us to use the AIW morale and improved positions rules. On the scenarios that call for entrenched units at the start, I suggest that the units so entrenched receive a defensive of advantage of plus one to the combat resolution die roll. I made sure that at the bottom of the scenario sheets I credited where I got the counter designs and the idea for the scenario. I did not include any airpower counters...I ran out of room on the scenario sheets!!! If you want to use Stukas and the Hurribombers. ..go for it! Let me know what you folks think about this...I had fun doing it...in spite of me taking too much of my time away from my other obligations! Check the gallery & ENJOY!!! Bill (PanzermanBill on the Panzergame.info site) Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:25:48 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=17.html I found a nice website when looking for some halftrack pictures. It's called the Antiaircraft Command. It's got some good info on AAA guns and weapons, plus some nice pictures of AAA guns on halftracks. There's also a lot of history on the AAA units themselves. Click over and browse their site. http://www.antiaircraft.org/index.htm Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:26:28 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=15.html Iam asking that everyone be civil when posting. You may not agree with someone's opinion and it is fine to argue, but not to the point of name calling. And you may not agree with the way that someone conducts their business: but it's not your business and you're not forced to buy anything, so please pass on commenting on prices, methods, advertising, etc... If you want to critque a product, good. Do so and be fair. But don't comment about how you don't like the prices or their operating model. And I'm talking about singling out individuals, either directly or indirectly. People not involved in some of these conversations have complained and we need to bring this back to what it's supposed to be: Discussion about Ground Combat games, focusing on the PB/PL/AIW family and other games as well. Also, I've instituted a new forum in the General section. It is called "Classifieds" and it is now the one stop shop for anyone offering anything for sale, looking for trades, or looking to buy. It is the only forum that these type of posts will be accepted. Please be considerate and post them only there, or I will move them, warn you, and if you continue, take further action. Please also use the Announcements forum to announce updates to your websites where you have free-to-all material. If it's not free to all, use the Classifieds. Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:35:09 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=14.html The Panzer Games site will be undergoing some upgrades, enhancements and additions over the next couple of weeks. We're going to add some new forums, expanding the coverage to other games (don't worry, this site's main focus is still Panzerblitz, et al!), adding content and highlighting some of the best threads we gotten so far, and upgrading the look and feel. So, loyal members, I'd like to make a couple of requests: 1)Volunteer to be an administrator of forums. I have emailed several of you so far, and I'd like to know if anyone else is interested. 2)Recommend new content and subjects for additional forum areas. 3)Tell me anything else you'd like to see here. I hope that the site will be even better than it is now and spark new debates and discussions on an even wider range of topics, as well as provide you with better resources for your gaming. John Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:18:45 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=13.html I recently received an email from a member asking how to change your password. It's not as easy as I thought. It took me a minute to figure it out. Here's what you do, from the main page: panzergames.info Second box down on the left is called "User Info" Second line down should be "My Account", click it. Now you're in a page called "This is your personal page" First box on left is called "My Account Tools" Fifth line down, fourth link is called "My registration details", click it. Now you're in a page called "My account>Registration information" In the main window are lines for your current password and new password. Make sure and click "Save Changes" Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:03:20 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=12.html I just would like to let you all know that while I wasn't paying attention the forum passed the 1000 post mark sometime last week. I was expecting to hit that around the first of the year, but we did it a month early. And I approved member numbers 94 and 95 today. So, we will have about 100 members and over 1000 posts by the new year. I'd like to thank all of the members here, the regular posters, the lurkers and the once-in-awhile drop-ins for a great start. This forum has had way more traffic and discussion than I would have guessed when I put it up in June. I'd like to ask that you all take a moment and think what would you like to see, or what could be done to improve the website, and then drop me a line. I would like to do what I can to make this site even more useful for you, the Panzerblitz faithful. John Tue, 12 Dec 2006 15:08:25 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=11.html Due to popular demand, we're opening a forum exclusively for uploading of files, where you, loyal reader, can then download them. This is called the Library. Here' how this will work: 1. Go to the Library Forum 2. Start a new Topic 3. Type the name of the file is and which game it applies to in the title of the topic. If all, type - ALL. 4. Type a short description in the body of the topic. 5. Using the "Attachment" function load up your file. Rules: 1. Keep it to PB, PL, and AIW relelvant material please. 2. One file per thread. 3. If the file is over 256k, or you get a "Can't Upload" message, contact me via PM. I'll give you temporary access to load larger files. Please let me know how this works for you and if I can improve the system. Fri, 03 Nov 2006 02:25:10 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=10.html Have you tried to attach a picture to your post yet? I have trying for the last 12 hours to get the size right, the space right, the admin rights right, and no luck. Every time I tried I got a Can't Upload File message. Well, I'm kind of a dummy. The folder on the server was not set to allow anybody to write to it unless they were logged in at the server! Oops. Fixed that. You may now load pictures and attach them to your posts at will. Try to keep the file size below 75k, and Width down around 600 pixels. For a good tutorial on how to resize your pictures, go to this tutorial. See ya! Engineer John Sat, 21 Oct 2006 15:50:33 GMT http://panzergames.info/News/article/sid=9.html This is actually an old report, but I just found it. A T-34 that had been captured by the German Army in 1944 was sunk in a lake in Estonia. A man remembered seeing tracks going down to the lake with no return. Years later he told local historians about it and they went fishing. See what they found. Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:33:19 GMT
