Avalon Hill Panzergruppe Guderian Punched and played VG/GD Condition For Sale

Panzergruppe Guderian\":The Battle of Smolensk, July 1941, is a wargame simulation of the German campaign to capture Smolensk in July, 1941. The game is played in twelve turns, each one representing 2 days time, on a map scale of 10.5 km/hex.

This wargame is famous for its innovative use of \"untried\" Soviet units. These untried Soviet counters enter play face down, their combat strength unknown to either player, until they take part in combat, at which time they are flipped to reveal their strength and defense numbers.

The game also models the effectiveness of German operations by allowing them a full mechanized movement phase both before and after combat, while the Soviets only move prior to combat. In addition, if all of a German division\'s regiments attack or defend in the same hex, their strength is doubled by a divisional integrity bonus.

The German player scores victory points for the capture of cities, and for any Soviet units redirected from the Southwestern Front. The Soviet player scores vp for recaptured cities and destroying entire German divisions (which possess several steps of strength).

The game includes: 1 map, counters (AH edition = 260; SPI edition = 200), 1 6-sided die, 1 Soviet reference card, 1 German reference card, 1 rules book, and 1 advanced rules insert.

Looking for a War Game? Check my other listings. More to come. A lot of games on are listed with the comment \"seems to be complete\". All of my games are inventoried to ensure they are complete. This means that small pieces are sorted and counted. In most cases, if there are any missing pieces, I can tell you which pieces are missing. This is time consuming and big dealers cannot invest the necessary time for this amount of detail. My games are priced to be equal to or lower than other listings in the \"same general condition\" as the ones that I am listing.
