Now featuring compulsory troop classes and morale ratings which give each nation an historical flavor, eg a small elite-veteran force of SS will outmaneuver and out shoot a larger reliable-conscript Soviet force which must use numbers to try to overwhelm the enemy. The morale system is now somewhat brutal, and there is an effective command-control system where each company HQ throws one movement-pip dice. Players purchase and field companies, though these can be 'ad-hoc' companies made up of platoons from different sources. The extremely detailed armor and gun charts have been completely re-written including footnotes notes on every item. Also soft skin and truck-mounted gun charts, and very detailed army and equipment lists for all thirteen nations. Usable with 1/300th, 1/76th or 15mm scales, these rules have a 1:1 ratio, though infantry are based in fire teams/crews. Infantry fire-fights are quickly resolved and require only 1 dice thrown per group of combatants, with casualties being complete teams. The nations covered are Belgium, Britain, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, Romania, Soviet, US Europe and US Pacific. These rules are complete, no future supplements or expansions will be needed. Page count has increased from 70 to 121 pages. The rules are not full of glossy color photos, however, when it comes to content, they are without compare. Panzerfaust Armored Fist covers all thirteen major nations, for the entire course of the war, with complete equipment lists with years of service and rarity, complete tank charts, guns charts, soft skin charts, and very detailed organizational charts.
