Panzer Leader is a tactical board wargame published in 1974 as the sequel to Avalon Hill's PanzerBlitz, which appeared in 1970. Played with hexagonal maps and cardboard counters, it depicts platoon-level tank and infantry combat of the Second World War on the Western European front. Four geomorphic map tiles can be arranged in many ways for the twenty supplied scenarios, most drawn from the Normandy campaign and the Battle of the Bulge, or for scenarios that players invent. Two scenarios cover the amphibious assaults on Omaha and Gold beaches with special naval fire rules. Based on PanzerBlitz, its rules were cleaned up and gained air attacks, engineers and spotting rules that stop units firing unseen from concealment. Its maps work with PanzerBlitz maps, and a separate kit covers the tanks of 1940.
