This 3rd Panzer expansion set includes the most significant US and British forces that saw action on the Western front in 1944 up until the end of the war in 1945. Also included are the German units that fought against their relentless advances from Normandy, across Italy, breaching the Siegfried Line, and finally pushing in to the German Fatherland.

The playbook for this third expansion includes rules for special units, new optional rules, Unit summaries for the US, British and German units and 10 scenarios. The list of Scenarios can be found below in the Community Wiki section.

The TO&Es booklet includes details for the US, British and German forces covering the period from 1944 through 1945, including the US eavy and light Armored Divisions, British Armoured Divisions, in both Western Europe and Italian configurations, and Infantry and Airborne Divisions. German forces include Panzer Lehr, the 101st SS Heavy Tank Battalion (Michael Wittmann commanded its second company) and two independent Panzer Brigades.

Finally, this expansion includes the next 4 double-sided geomorphic mapboards (8 mapboards total), modeling the terrain found in the close confines of the French boscage country and many other features as the Allied forces push into the heart of Germany. Add these 4 geomorphic mapboards to the 6 geomorphic mapboards from Expansions 1 & 2 for added play and many possible battle combinations.

In order to play this expansion only the Panzer base game is required. Ownership of Expansions 1 & 2 is not required to field the German forces, they are all included here. However, this expands on those German units included in the first two expansions, no unit IDs are duplicated. Combine the German units from all three expansions to create customized scenarios on either the Western or Eastern Front.
