Alan R. Arvold's Ode To Panzer Leader: The Original 20 Situations
Wargamer's Game Depot scenario store having closed down, in co-operation with Alan R. Arvold, I am posting all his Avalon Hill Panzer Leader boardgame situation conversions to The Blitz Wargaming Club Scenario DB. To download them, one needs not to register with the club, so it seemed like a good place to have the scenarios available to everyone.
I am uploading the PL situation conversions at a rate of two scenarios per week (more or less), as among other things I am running each scenario through the automated test script Berto's made available. So it takes a while.
But what better way to run down the clock towards the 2016 release of MCS 3.0, where all these scenarios will be available within the game itself.
And who knows, with the new Zoomed-In 2D view available, all going well there just might be a Panzer Leader Counter Art mod available to play them in a proper manner.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this little rendez-vouz with these 1970s classics already with MCS 2.02. In the following posts the scenario title will be a link to the download page.
Enjoy! [:)]

RE: Alan R Arvold Ode To Panzer Leader scenarios available at The Blitz
I thought I'd give each of these situation conversions - both for PB and PL - a proper introduction so they get all the visibility they so fully deserve.
There's some 80+ PB and 70+ PL situation conversions coming up. Future's looking bright! [8D]
My sincere thanks to Alan R Arvold for having these available to be shared with everyone.

RE: Alan R Arvold Ode To Panzer Leader scenarios available at The Blitz
As a this weekend's Panzer Leader treat, I have uploaded all Ode To Panzer Leader Design Notes by Alan R. Arvold to Blitz Scenario DB, one zip archive per game.
PL Design Notes can be found here:
Ode to Panzer Leader - All Design Notes (Not A Scenario)
There's a plethora of information available for us Board Game geeks - and for others too! - as how Alan has transferred each of the situations to West Front, and of his thoughts how they are best played.
Enjoy! [:)]
