The game is set during WW2, you are a German tank commander who has to get his battle worn tank safely back to friendly faces. The only way back is thru a small village but this contains elements of enemy infantry.

It is a card driven game, there are 2 types of card, Terrain cards which is the pack your trying to go through as quickly as possible, the last card is always the bridge card. There are also Event cards which mainly contain enemy soldiers. Each card has an activation number, the activation level is decided by shuffling activation cards into the terrain deck. So the further into the village you go the more likely you are to meet enemy opposition. I quite like the way this works.

You give orders to your crew, spending order points. prepare main tank gun, load main tank gun, move turret, observe etc. Your tank creates noise which attracts enemy soldiers and the terrain you move over may also have a bearing on this too.

Combat is a series of dice rolls, my least favourite part of the game but I reckon most wargamers will be ok with this. Also included are the use of Schirzen (side skirts), Zimmerit paste, PIAT attacks, a Sherman and tank traps.
