Panzer Leader (1974) Revised 1975
Freelance design revised by Avalon Hill
Designed by Dave Clark & N/A
Development by Randall Reed
Box art by W. Scott Moores

A West Front exploitation of the PANZERBLITZ system did very well in terms of both sales and gamer appreciation. It was far from perfect though and regrettably changed the scale of the original game so that the pieces did not really interchange smoothly. The revision was limited to the scenario cards of the first edition. Another member of the 100,000 sales club.

Hope this info helps with the submission. Cheers! Bill Mayhue
