Description

From the back of the box: Normandy, 6 June 1944 American paratroopers spearheaded the Allied return to Europe, unraveling Hitler's vaunted Atlantic Wall and starting a drive that would destroy the Nazi regime. Airborne Introductory Edition features 20 of these battles, and is the perfect starting place for players new to the Panzer Grenadier game series. Playing pieces represent the leaders, troops, tanks and guns of World War II. A clever interactive system keeps both players constantly alert. Gamers and Avalanche Press agree - despite what the back of the box claims, this was never a good introduction into Panzer Grenadier. In its place, newcomers to Panzer Grenadier are encouraged to start with Elsenborn Ridge: Tactical Combat During the Battle of the Bulge – A Panzer Grenadier Game instead. Note - This is the second edition of Panzer Grenadier: Airborne. This game is part of the Panzer Grenadier series
