Get ready to dive into the lesser-known history of World War II with First Axis: Slovakia at War 1939-1945, a Panzer Grenadier Scenario Book. This expansion, designed by Michael Bennighof and released in 2008, explores the often-overlooked role of Slovakia, a small nation that became the first Axis force to fight alongside the Germans. Players will take on the roles of Slovak troops as they battle against the Hungarians, Poles, Soviets, and even the Germans in 30 new scenarios. With a playtime of 120 minutes and easy-to-learn rules, this game is perfect for two players looking for a fun and challenging experience. The game comes with 88 die-cut and mounted playing pieces, mostly representing the surprisingly large array of Slovak tanks, as well as some new Hungarian tank pieces. To play, you'll need to own the base games Eastern Front: A Panzer Grenadier Game, Road to Berlin: Platoon Level Combat in World War II, and White Eagles: A Panzer Grenadier Supplement Book. But trust us, it's worth it - the scenarios are meticulously researched and offer a unique perspective on the war. The game mechanics, which include dice rolling, hexagon grid, and variable phase order, add a layer of excitement and unpredictability to each battle. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a new challenge, First Axis is a great addition to the Panzer Grenadier series. As an expansion, First Axis offers a fresh set of scenarios and gameplay opportunities, building on the foundation established by the base games. The book's format is similar to other popular Panzer Grenadier supplements, such as White Eagles and Fronte Russo, so fans of the series will feel right at home. With its unique blend of history and gameplay, First Axis is a must-have for anyone looking to explore the lesser-known corners of World War II. So gather a friend, set aside a couple of hours, and get ready to experience the war from a new perspective.
