Armies Of Germany will follow the direction of previous books for past editions in that it will provide extensive rules and profiles for the German army during the course of World War II. You'll be able to use the armoured fist of the Panzer vision and the brutal and die-hard Fallschirmjäger. The book will come with plenty of illustrations to inspire you as well as images of painted miniatures. You will also get all of the historical background for whichever portion of the German force you want to play.

Everyone wants to be the baddies, apparently.
They did the same with second edition. German was the first Army book out. I can’t remember the rationale last time. I guess as the Germans fought the entire war (well at least until VE day) if you tried to do all the armaments and stats for early mid and late war in the back of the main rule book you would be devoting a lot of book space to it. A basic list to get going in the main book works to get people started. I know that kinda goes the same for the other lists and nations in… Read more »
