About this game

PANTHER LINE: ARMY GROUP NORTH 1944 is a detailed new Advanced Tobruk System (ATS) game that tells the story of the Russo-German War on the Eastern Front from the perspective of the soldiers that faced off during the Summer of 1944.

The ATS gamer is hurled into a pitched battle, with German defenders clinging to a line of hills, amid forested terrain. Another unique ATS battlefield of one 22" x 34" historical game map is provided in all its glory. Available on March 2004.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.6/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
