Solitaire Game
Game time: 20 minutes approximately.
Kursk, Eastern Europe. Summer of 1943. German
army and Red Army will face each other in the most
brutal and technological battle in the history of
Humanity. 2500 German tanks against 5000
Russian tanks will fight for weeks trying to find a
definitive path to victory. The Werhmatch has its
heavily armored Panzer tanks, with a firepower
never seen before; meanwhile, the Red Army will put
its most emblematic war tank, the T-34, among
others, on the ground.
For the Germans, this is the last chance to regain
their stability on the conquered lands, while for the
Red Army there is only the idea of victory regard-
less of the price.
Still, the Russian soldiers were not afraid of this.
With their T-34s, simpler and lighter than German
armor but easier to mass-build and repair in the
field, they learned to maneuver their tanks with
efficiency and precision and to identify the weak
points of the Panzers; Besides that they were inge-
nious and knew how to repair the damage they
suffered and received support from the populations
they were liberating, where they found supplies for
the combat of their infantry, as well as fuel for their
armored vehicles and recovered ammunition from
destroyed tanks.
GOAL
As responsible of a T-34 crew, your mission is to
advance across 420 kilometers and destroy as
many Panzer tanks as you can and survive the
battle.

GAME DEVELOPMENT
The game is played in three phases turns:
1. Basic dice rolling.
2. Action.
3. Panzer die shooting.
PHASE 1 - BASIC DICE ROLLING
Roll the 6 white dice and put them on the corresponding
places on the game sheet 1 taking into account the next
conditions:
-Dice results 2 and 3 are PANZER DICE and you must put
them without changing the results in any of the five
boxes in the Panzer Dice area.
-Dice results 1, 4,5 and 6 are ACTION DICE and must be
placed in the corresponding boxes.
FASE 2: ACTION
After placing the dice in their position on game sheet 1,
you must execute dice action 1, 4, 5 and 6 in their
respective numerical order. For results 4, 5 and 6, for one
die of each class you can perform a corresponding action.
For each additional die you can perform two actions of its
kind.
-RESULT 1: RADIO ORDERS
Each die of this class can change the result to any other
Action Dice. It can even be changed its own result.
-RESULT 4: REPAIR
With each die of this class, you can repair damages in any
of your T-34 three Armor Tracks on the game sheet 1. For
4
You receive damage when you are shot from a
Panzer Die in the Panzer Die Shooting Phase or
when you move on the field and get to an explosive
mine or antitank canon hex.
-RESULT 5: SHOOT
With dice of this result you can shoot at Panzer
Dice. When shooting a Panzer Dice, its value drops
one point, for example: if you shoot a Panzer Dice
of value 3 its value drops to 2. If you shoot a
Panzer Dice of value 1 its value drops to zero, then,
you must remove it from the game sheet to be
rolled again on the next turn.
Every time you fire a shot, you must mark it on the
Ammo Track. When you completely destroy a
Panzer, you must mark the Panzer Destroyed Track.
The destroyed Dice leaves the Panzer Dice Area in
the game sheet 1 and are re-rolled at the start of
the next turn.
During this phase you can also use the Infantry
Items that you have found in the Villages. You can
use as many items as you have available in a turn.
-RESULT 6: ADVANCE ON THE MAP
With dice of this result you can move through the
Map towards your goal. You move one hex for each
die you use and two for each additional die. You
cannot go back. Every time you move to a new hex
you must mark on the Fuel track.
If there is an icon in the hexagon where your move-
ment ends, you must perform the action shown
there.
PHASE 3:PANZER DIE SHOOTING
After you have completed phases 1 and 2, roll a black die.
If any Panzer Die is occupying a box labeled with a die
with the same value as the black die roll, then this die has
fired a shot at you. This shot will damage your T-34 and
the amount of that damage is equal to the value of the
die, that is, from 1 to 3. The part of the tank that takes
the damage depends on the location of the Panzer Dice.
This is marked with the letters A, B and C. For example: if
a Panzer Dice with a value of 2 fires at you from a box
with the letter C, your T-34 takes 2 points of damage on
the C Hull Track of your T-34.
As you can see: every time you shoot a Panzer Dice, its
firing power drops as well.
As your T-34 moves across the Map, if you are in a gray
hexagon, you must roll 2 Panzer Fire Dice (black dice).
BOMBING RAID
During the turn sequence, the Panzer Dice that come out
during the first phase of each turn, occupy the boxes in
the Panzer Dice Area and there they remain locked
during the following turns until you destroy them and
then they will be unlocked to be rolled again in next
turns.
If at any time the number of Panzer Dice is greater than
the boxes available to place them, this means Bombing
Raid. The first time this happens, they are Ilyushin
planes coming to your support. All Panzer Dice that are
occupying boxes are destroyed. You must mark in the
Bombing Raid area at the top of Game Sheet 1. The
second time this happens it means an strike by Stukas,
which means you lose one point in each of the 3 Hull
Tracks of your T- 34, then you must uncheck the Ilyus-
hin box and check the Stuka box. These bombings are
alternated in such a way that each time they happen,
the mark of Bombing Raid must be erased and made in
the other, or the position of the cube must be changed.
20 PANZER DICE DESTROYED
When you destroy a Panzer Die, you must mark it on
the Destroyed Panzer Track on the game sheet 2.
When you have destroyed 20 panzer dice you recei-
ve a full supply of Ammo, then you must remove all
of the marks on the Ammo Track.
ADVANCING ON THE MAP
As you move around the Map, you will find different
hexagons that can be in your favor or against you.
Some will allow you to make repairs to your T-34,
find ammunition and fuel, or penetrate villages
where you will find objects that the Infantry can
use. You can also trigger an Anti-Tank mine and Pak
40 Anti-Tank Guns that will cause damage on your
T-34.
Every time you receive damage, you must mark on
the corresponding Hull Track of you T-34.
VILLAGES
If your advancing on the Map ends in a hexagon
with a Village icon, you must roll a die
and solve the boxes on the right side of game sheet
2, then you must mark the Infantry items that you
found, at the bottom of game sheet 2.
REPAIR
When you stop in this hexagon you can decide
whether to recover three points of armor in one of
the Hull Tracks A or C of your T-34, or all of the
points of Hull Track B.
FUEL OR AMMO
This hexagon means that you recover one point of
Fuel or one or two of Ammo.
5
Each time you move to a new hex you must mark on the
Fuel Track. If you come to a hexagon with a Fuel icon, you
should not mark. When you have marked all the squares
of the Fuel Track, you will no longer be able to move on the
Map, then you will have to wait for new supplies, while

INFANTRY
You can use items that the Infantry finds, during the
movement of your T-34 on the Map to attack Panzer
Dice or to attack Anti-Tank Guns.
Each time you find objects in the villages, mark on their
respective track on the Infantry item area of Game
Sheet 2 according to the number you have found. Every
time you use Infantry items erase marks to indicate the
number of items you used on that turn.
You can only carry 4 different kind of items, so if you
find a fifth item you must get rid of other.
You can only carry a maximum of 5 items of a kind.
You can use as many items as you have available each
turn.

Panzer Die. One equals one shot
against an Anti-Tank Gun.
PANZERFAUST One is equivalent to one shot against a
Panzer Die or an Anti-Tank Gun.

END OF THE GAME
When your T-34 reaches a hex with the flag icon
without being destroyed, the game is over and you
have won.
When the damage taken on one of your T-34's Hull
tracks drops to 0, your tank is destroyed and you
lose the game.
SCORE OF THE GAME
You can calculate the score achieved in each game,
whether or not you have completed the mission.
Sum:
5 points for each Panzer Die destroyed
5 for each hex advanced into the goal
5 for each Infantry’s item at end of the game
5 for each cell of Ammunition at the end of the

-A large number of infantry soldiers are resisting in a

town where the enemy has surrounded it and in less than
a day they will fall. Your mission is to cross the fence and
reach the town that is in hexagon number 12 of column K
of the Map within 20 hours carrying 4 units of Flame-
throwers, 4 of Panzerfausts and 4 of Mortar.
In this mission, the number of destroyed Panzers does not
matter and the Destroyed Panzer Register becomes a
timer where each box represents one hour. If after turn
20 you have not completed the mission, you lose the
game.
