Forces are chosen from hundreds of fighting vehicles, weapons, aircraft, and force structures that were oreven could have been used on the Eastern Front. Tigers on the Prowl is realistic. Set at one of the most demanding combat scales, (above company and below division), both strategy AND tactics must be meshed to achieve success.

Combat orders must be issued through a "chain of command" to subordinate company, platoon and section sized units. Tigers on the Prowl is accurate.

These calculations take into account actual armor thickness and round penetration at the instant of impact, weight of explosive, fragmentation effects, environmental conditions, and more. Tigers on the Prowl is easy to use. Designed for all levels of wargamers, Tigers on the Prowl includes 5 scenarios, a built-in scenario builder, and three levels of difficulty.

User Addendum: The game box for Tigers on the Prowl v2 (and hence, the text above) is the same as the original Tigers on the Prowl, but with a small, round "Version 2" sticker attached. Tigers on the Prowl v2 uses the same game manual as it's sister game, Panthers in the Shadows.
