Watermarked PDF – Sale Price $20.95 USD
For the first time, we have put together a collection of classic games published in Panzerschreck. So many of the magazine's games have been out of print and unavailable for many years, except on the expensive secondary market. This new collection allows you to pick up several classic titles at once…
Along with the games, new game commentary and design notes are included. Scan and print the game components from the pages of the book, or from PDFs (available separately). The format is classic Panzerschreck, in full-color, along with editorial introduction, Panzerschreck game listing, and games available from Minden. If you missed out on any of these games the first time around, here's your chance to add them to your collection.
