The main question I have with the current text is just how close the original S&T game was to the AH PanzerBlitz. If it was the same rules with new scenarios and maps (did TG3 have geomophic maps?), fine enough. If the rules got an extensive overhaul (which seems likely with Dunnigan) I'd rate them as separate games. Which would just make PB the direct decendant of the first tactical game, and the second one overall. -- Rindis 19:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Ironically, this masterpiece was designed by James F. Dunnigan who later became a major designer for SPI, a competing company noted for its emphasis on highly detailed simulations.
...not really ironic. James F. Dunnigan FOUNDED SPI. He went out on his own and published several more wargames than Avalon Hill, though they weren't quite as polished (the game maps were paper only - at least the ones my friends and I bought). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xodmoe ( talk • contribs) 19:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
Does the Unit Scale as given in the article apply to the Tactical Game 3 edition? Because it's certainly incorrect for Panzer Blitz where unit scale is Platoons for the Germans and Companies for the Russians. Generally speaking PB is a Platoon level game. Considering how the TG3 information was only added recently I assume the original scale given was incorrect.-- Caranorn 18:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Let's see, there's three boards, so there's 3 x 2 x 1 ways to assemble the boards, but each one can be rotated 180 degrees, so there's really (3 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (1 x 2) = 48. BUT, that's just if you set them up with the long edges touching. You could also set them up with the short edges touching, which I think gives you 48 more. And, to make it more complicated, I think there were some scenarios which only used 1 or 2 boards, so there's even more combinations. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:01, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
