23 PANZERBLITZ VARIANTS

(In PC Format)

(These are the free files. Go to http://www.rainbownerd.com/wargaming/vaipa.html for the commercial Panzerblitz/Panzer Leader variants.)

A file with each variant is listed with the description of that variant. It is a self-extracting Winzip file. Simply download it and then double-click on it and it will unzip itself. The size of the file is listed so that you will know about how long it will take you to download it.

Each file will contain 1-4 items. Most variants don't have all 4. (Note: I use Windows ME. All the following instructions work with Windows ME. Wordpad and Paint come with all versions of Windows, I think. Your milage may vary.)

  1. Background article - This article explains the variant. It is in .rtf format. I chose this format because I could incorporate the graphics, yet it still can be read by Microsoft WORDPAD. Simply doubleclick on the Background file while in Explorer or load up Wordpad and open the file.
  2. Scenarios - The scenarios are in their own sub-folder. Each scenario has its own file. Simply doubleclick on the file while in Explorer and the scenario will appear. Print directly from here and you will get a full sheet version of the scenario. I like this as it allows me to stack my units on the scenario printout.
  3. Counters - The counter file is in .jpg format. They have been adjusted to the correct size. Simply open up the file from the PAINT program. Put all borders at minimum (.25"). Then print them out on whatever you like.
  4. Maps - The maps have their own sub-folder, also. They are in .jpg format like the counters. Print them out just like the counters.
Now, without furthur ado, here are the 23 variants (Please E-mail me if a link doesn't work):
