This term designates a specific historical wargaming product line centered on armored warfare during the Second World War. It encompasses miniature models, rule sets, and supplementary materials designed to simulate tactical engagements between armored vehicles and infantry units of the period. As an example, the rules allow players to recreate scenarios such as tank battles in the Eastern Front or ambushes in the Normandy bocage.
The significance of such a system lies in its ability to provide a historically grounded and engaging experience for hobbyists and wargamers. Recreating historical battles encourages an appreciation for the complexities of armored warfare, the strengths and weaknesses of different vehicle types, and the tactical doctrines employed by various nations. Further, it fosters community interaction and the development of strategic thinking.
