Band of Brothers: Ghost Panzer

Squad-level WWII tactical wargame set on the Eastern Front, covering German 11th Panzer Division actions from 1941–1944. Players command infantry, tanks and artillery using a streamlined ruleset that avoids combat charts and minimizes exceptions. A graded suppression system accumulates effects from multiple fire sources and delays morale checks until units are tasked, creating uncertain reactions in play. Casualty and proficiency ratings differentiate squads beyond simple morale values, while mechanics incentivize fire-and-maneuver, close assaults on pinned troops, and dispersion of forces for survivability. Designed as a stand-alone title and part of a broader series covering other WWII formations.
