Panzer Blitz / Panzer Leader

Then we started building 1:285 scale GHQ Micro Armour. A bunch of us developed a set of rules for the WWII miniatures. Got me through college!

When I retired twenty years later, the model bug bit me. Early 90’s 1:15th scale Tamiya PzKw VIa (early). Completely motorized with 2 drive motors, turret turns, 88mm gun fires w/ strobe flash, MG34 strobes and sounds, motor sounds match throttle setting.




AND, BY POPULAR DEMAND; “TIGER I, THE MOVIE”!

Drove the teachers nuts. Taken away, you can come and pick it up at the end of the school day

Do you remember being able to manipulate the defenders by moving certain directions quickly?

Yep - up down, up down, up down, go and then press your brains out heading for the end zone.

Too difficult for me to justify feeding more quarters into the machine. This was more my speed - easy concept:

Galaga and Centipede were 2 of my favorites.

@jorayr97 Loved Galaxian, just looked this up - Galaga was the sequal, who knew?

I dumped more than a few quarters into this one too.
