Tigers/Panthers
Campaign Disks
HPS has released 12 campaign disks for Tigers on the Prowl 2 and
Panthers in the Shadows. These campaign disks are a series of 10 historically based
scenarios which are linked and therefore provide a level of difficulty
beyond the normal scenario format. Suddenly, casualties matter in the
overall outcome, in that heavy casualties in early scenarios will cripple your
forces in later scenarios. Of course, replacements are received from time to
time, but not always enough to make up for a careless commander. Each campaign
disk has been carefully researched to ensure historically accurate orders of
battles. Maps have been reproduced from actual topographic maps to ensure the
most accurate depiction of the engagements possible. Each campaign disk costs
only $15.
CAMPAIGN #1 - "Panzers Forward!"
CAMPAIGN #2 - "Into the Cauldron"
CAMPAIGN #3 - "Liebstandarte in Normandy"
CAMPAIGN #4 - "Thunderbolt!"
CAMPAIGN #5 - "GDR on the Steppes"
CAMPAIGN #6 - "Heia Safari!"
CAMPAIGN #7 - "Hell on Wheels"
CAMPAIGN #8 - "Operation SEALION"

CAMPAIGN DISK #4 - 37th
Armor Battalion "Thunderbolt!"
The fourth campaign disk, for Panthers in the Shadows,
places you in command of the famous 37th Tank Battalion, historically
commanded by (then) LTC Creighton Abrams. In the words of one of his
subordinates,
"...German tanks where everywhere and he jumped in that command
tank...he took them under fire...all his other boys came in there and
they knew they had a leader. That whenever he would expose them he
would expose himself too and he would...He was out there exposing
himself, by God, where you could pick him out as a leader...absolutely
fearless but boy the men loved that. God damn what a leader."
Said CPT Tom Evans of Abrams: "Abrams, in my opinion,
was the finest soldier I ever met or worked with.....he had no fear,
none whatsoever.....He commanded that tank, and fought that tank. He
was a tremendous leader all the way around."
The famed 37th Tank Battalion fought a series of battles
starting mid September 1944 near Arracourt, France, against the 58th
Panzer Corps. The battles were mainly against the brand new Panthers
and Mark IVs of the 111th and the 113th Panzer Brigades .
These two brigades were virtually destroyed by the end of the month,
thanks to the technologically inferior but superbly led U.S. forces
under Abrams and COL Bruce Clarke.
Take command of this battalion, armed with light tanks, M4A1 Shermans,
M4A3 Shermans, and one stolen Hellcat (true story!) and fight against
the German 58th Panzer Corps in France. This should prove to be an
excellent campaign, as the historical data is very good, sometimes
down to the exact tank numbers for both sides. The maps were taken
from very detailed military 1:50,000 scale maps of France, of the
exact battlefields.
The scenarios are:
1. Ste. Genevieve 13 Sep 44 (river crossing)
2. Lixieres 13 Sep 44
3. Valhey 14 Sep 44
4. Maixe 16 Sep 44
5. Arracourt 19 Sep 44 (defense)
6. Arracourt 19 Sep 44 (counterattack)
7. Ommeray 20 Sep 44 (meeting eng.)
8. Moncourt 20 Sep 44 (night attack)
9. Juvelize 22 Sep 44
10.Lezey 25 Sep 44
Two battles have been previously released on the original disk but
they needed to be included to preserve the historical flow of the
campaign.
