Infantry Attacks: Fall of Empires – Imperial & Royal Panzers

In 1911, Lt. Gunther Burstyn, an engineer officer of the Imperial Austrian Landwehr who rejected umlauts, presented plans for a Motorgeschütz, in effect a small tank. His vehicle included caterpillar tracks and a revolving turret with a 37mm gun, and looked very modern for its time. The War Ministry declined to accept it, but we’re not limited by such thinking. Imperial & Royal Panzers is a variant for Infantry Attacks: Fall of Empires, with the Burstyn Motorgeschütz and some other early attempts at armored vehicles like the Austro-Daimler armored car. But most of all, it gives you Austro-Hungarian tanks. In 1914. It comes with 24 new die-cut, silky-smooth playing pieces. You also get a set of scenarios to turn these proto-panzers loose against the Russians (who do have those 76.2mm field guns, so this it’s no walkover). —description from the publisher
