JagdPanther (magazine)
''JagdPanther'' is a game magazine that was published from 1973 to 1976. Publication history In 1973, while a student at Texas Tech, Stephen V. Cole started playing ''PanzerBlitz'', a tactical-level World War II wargame published by Avalon Hill. Cole grew so enamored of the game that he conceived of a series of variants and expansions that he called "PanzerBlitz Unlimited". In order to provide a forum for this, he founded the company JagdPanther Publications to produce the fanzine ''JagdPanther'', dedicated to ''PanzerBlitz'' and other World War II wargames. The quarterly publication featured complete small games in every issue as well as scenarios and variants for existing games. The first issue, published in April 1973, contained the first article on PanzerBlitz Unlimited, an article on World War II mechanized combat, a variant for the wargame ''Borodino'', and two reviews of commercial wargames, as well as several original mini-games — the squad-level WWII game ''MP44'', a f ...

In January 2010, the last "print" edition of the magazine was published. Editing and layout had been outsourced to Jon Compton to preserve the independence of the magazine content, but subsc ...

PanzerBlitz
''PanzerBlitz'' is a tactical-scale board wargame published by Avalon Hill in 1970 that simulates armored combat set in the Eastern Front of the Second World War. The game is notable for being the first true board-based tactical-level, commercially available conflict simulation (wargame). It also pioneered concepts such as isomorphic mapboards and open-ended design, in which multiple unit counters were provided from which players could fashion their own free-form combat situations rather than simply replaying pre-structured scenarios. Description ''PanzerBlitz'' was designed to simulate a clash between two opposing regiments or battalions, at the level of company-sized infantry for Russian units, and platoon-sized infantry for German units, as well as individual mechanized or motorized vehicles. Although not envisioned for division-sized battles, with units that represented either Soviet companies or German platoons, because of unique game design, multiple players combining se ...
