Three Moves Ahead 60: Achtung Panzer and WW2 Tactics - a podcast by Idle Thumbs

Troy, Rob and Bruce participate in the wonkiest Three Moves Ahead ever, as Dr. Geryk makes up for weeks of absences with another tour de force rant. How does Achtung Panzer compare to Combat Mission? What do we expect from a WW2 tactical game, and how do these expectations mesh with reality? Turn based, real time and replay – how do they fit together? Bruce also recommends a bunch of books.Achtung PanzerTom vs Bruce: Combat MissionDavid Glantz’sBARBAROSSA DERAILED: The Battles for Smolensk, July-August 1941David Glantz’sArmageddon in Stalingrad: September-November 1942 (The Stalingrad Trilogy, Volume 2) (Modern War Studies)andTo the Gates of Stalingrad: Soviet-German Combat Operations, April-August 1942 (Modern War Studies)David Glantz’sThe Siege of Leningrad: 900 Days of Terror (Cassell Military Paperbacks)John Erickson’sThe Road to Stalingrad (Cassell Military Paperbacks)
