Description
Airborne is designed to be an introductory game to the world of Panzer
Grenadier, and is an inexpensive way to learn the game.
Airborne is a core game, meaning that everything needed to
play is included. All Panzer Grenadier use the same core
rules, so players that master Airborne need not learn anything else to
play the more expansive games available.
Each unit represents a platoon of infantry,
weapons or vehicles. Each hexagon represents 200 meters of
terrain. Each turn represents 15 minutes of time.
PG features an interactive turn system, so a player may not
get to do everything he wants to do before his opponent gets to counter
move.
The PG system is vast, with many modules
available. Each module focuses on a particular theme and
provide counters, maps and scenarios to play. There are two
types of modules, the core and the supplements. Core games
are complete by themselves, with everything needed to play.
Supplements expand on the core modules, bringing new
scenarios and unit types to the game, but require one or more core
module to play.
