Panzerfäuste

Panzerfäuste is a fantasy skirmish ruleset by Wessex Games which is loosely based on the second World War. Set in a fantasty realm called The Land it features standard fantasy races such as Orcs, Dwarves and Elves fighting out battles with 20th century weaponry. The core game revolves around a system called Guts which helps simulate all the vagaries of modern warfare including morale and fatigue in one simple mechanism.

Wessex Games have released a stripped down 'lite' version of the rules called Panzerfäuste Unarmoured which allows you to try the game with the goose-stepping Dwarves verses the cheese loving Gnomes.

It is available as a free download from Wargamevault.com (there's a link on the main page of the Wessex Games site).

The full rules (which include stats for many more fantasy races, full rules for armour, optional campaign rules allowing character development, details of all races involved in the war with the Dwarves, maps of the theatre of operations and three introductory scenarios) can be purchased from the Panzerfäuste section of the Wessex Games website.

    Whilst Panzerfäuste can be played as a 'traditional' wargame where you're encouraged to line up your troops on opposite sides of the table and simply advance until you bump into each other in the middle, this isn't really much fun. Here are some interesting and challenging scenarios to make your Panzerfäuste games much more enjoyable.
