About this game

This is a mobile version of the hugely popular PC series Panzer Campaigns. This first release takes you through several hypothetical scenarios on the East Front as a German Panzer commander and introduces you to both the basics of the Panzer Campaigns game engine and also the unique mobile interface. Following this free release, there will be additional releases in this series each representing a smaller mobile version of the corresponding PC game.

Panzer Campaigns is a detailed turn-based simulation of operational warfare from World War II. It includes detailed rules and combat resolution but has a simple interface that allows the player to focus on strategy and tactics. A wide variety of unit types are represented including infantry, tanks, artillery, and engineers. This version has 18 scenarios particularly suitable for mobile devices including 12 "Panzer School" scenarios designed to introduce you to the basics of World War II warfare.

While this version of Panzer Campaigns will run on large-format Android phones, it is best on an Android tablet with screen size of 7 inches or more.

Ratings and reviews

This series is a hidden gem. No innovative twists to be found in these games, just tried and true JTS gameplay. Gameplay is a really sophisticated board game with the computer doing the heavy bookkeeping lifting. What I especially appreciate about the mobile series is the scenarios are all of a manageable size. While I really enjoy the depth of the JTS engine, many of the scenarios in the PC games are too much for my current free time budget right now.

A true gem for hardcore wargamers. I wish it had a longer campaign, but it still offers hours of fun. Smart and easy to understand system, just perfect!

Fun game, but the AI is too easy. I only managed to "lose" once - that was my first time playing, and it ended up in a draw.
