About the Game

Klotzen! Panzer Battles, is a World War 2 turn based operational strategy game set in Europe and North Africa. Made with passion by strategy gamers, it was designed with replayability and challenge in mind.
Intuitive and easy to start, it offers a classic gameplay experience for Panzer General lovers.


Execute enveloping maneuvers by taking key towns and cutting off roads and railroads to disable large groups of enemy units quickly using our unique supply system. Just remember that this is a double-edged sword which AI will use expertly against you.
Flexible AI that leaves room for mistakes in lower settings and detects local and strategic mistakes and exploits them on highest difficulties. Learn to protect your exposed units, objectives and supply or let AI help you remember.


Use your air force as never before – bomb enemy supply and vital bridges, mount air offensives by attacking airfields to achieve quick air superiority, or swarm the skies and strafe exposed enemy ground units during their move.
Dig fortifications and lay minefields, blow up bridges or repair them using dedicated engineering units.


Offering large branching campaign, random events for campaign and each scenario, massive customization options both for the whole army and each unit individually, it gives the best replayability in the genre.
