The first online-available solo scenario for Panzer General: Allied Assault has been released! We've seen a lot of interest in developing more solo scenarios since the game's release, so this is just the first of many more that will become available.
Scenario is posted below. You can also find it in the File section here on Geekdo.com. A PDF version is also available at:

Good luck, and show us some amazing battles of Blitzkrieg! Even if you do not want to participate directly in the contest, post your photos anyway! Please note if you are outside of NA and/or do not want to directly participate in the contest.

Blitzkrieg Solo Scenario
Introduction
Blitzkrieg is German for "Lightning War." It’s an all out attack using land and air units to push forward in a surprise attack. Armor led the way, and important objectives were surrounded and the advance continued while rear units were used to take over the objectives. The tactic was used successfully in Spain and became a standard German battle plan where possible.
Map Setup
* American Home tile: 4a
* American Home-Row: Bottom of the map (from Player’s perspective)
* First Player: Non-Player (Germany)
Win Conditions:
* Player must take control of Fortification tiles, 26b and 25b.
* Control more tiles than Non-Player by turn 8.
Lose Conditions:
* Non-Player unit must take control of a Player’s Home-Row tile.
* Control fewer tiles than Non-Player by turn 8.
Non-Player and Player Setup
Non-Player Decks
Combat Deck:
This deck combines both the "Firer Deck" and the "Target Deck" together. If the Player flips a card from this deck for the Non-Player and it does not apply to the current combat, discard that card, it has no effect (e.g. If the Non-Player plays "Strafing Run" vs. Target unit).
* 4 Strafing Run
* 4 Forced Retreat
* 4 Deadly Fire
* 4 Off Target
* 4 Snap Shot
Action Deck:
No Cards in deck.
German Unit Deck:
All multiples of the following types:
* 3 PZ V Panther
* 3 Stug III
* 2 PZ II
* 3 PZ VI Tiger I
* 2 Hertzer
* 3 PZ IV
* 3 Panzergrenadiers
* 1 PZ VI King Tiger
* 1 PZ III
* 2 Marder III
* 2 Puma
Player Action Deck: All remaining cards in Action deck.
Player Unit Deck: Entire American deck.
Non-Player Pre-Placement:
Place a Puma unit on Fortification tiles 25b and 26b.
Player Starting Prestige: 10
Player Starting Hand:
3 Unit Cards
6 Action Cards
Player Unit Pre-Placement:
Choose 4 infantry unit cards from the American deck and place them on tiles 27a, 10a, 34a, and 20a.
Non-Player Spawning and Movement and Attacking Rules
Spawning at the beginning of each of the Non-Player’s turns:
* Draw 2 unit cards from the Non-Player’s unit deck and place one on each of the Fortification Tiles (26b, 25b) on the back row of the map.
If these tiles are occupied, place them to the right (1a) or to the left (23a) of the Fortification tiles.
If these tiles are also occupied, do not place any new Non-Player units this turn.
Movement & Attack:
* Units spawned, except if they were placed that turn, will move in a straight line towards the Player’s Home-Row, when possible.
* When unopposed, units with the Special Ability to "Move Twice" will.
* When blocked, units with the Special Ability to "May Move Diagonally" will from right to left.
* When blocked, Non-Player units will prioritize their movement, from right to left.
* Non-Player units will attack Player units before moving.
* Non-Player units will prioritize their attack on Player units first from the left, and then to the right of them, finally Non-Player units will attack Player units in front of them.
* On Player retreats, Non-player units will advance when possible.
* When Non-player units attack Player artillery units, Non-player unit immediately wins the combat and the Player artillery unit is destroyed.

Thanks Matt, Very Cool!

Thank you so much

That's cool! I like the scenarios that are already in the game, but you can never have too many scenarios to play
 . Thanks for continuing to support and build on Panzer General Allied Assault both in the board game and XBLA versions.
I'll see what I can do with the new solo scenario.

Hi James,
You can host images here on Geekdo by going to the "My Geek" drop-down menu and adding an image into your personal gallery, then linking that image here.
Looking forward to seeing what you have!

Rules question
In the rules where the Non-Player is to prioritize movements from "Right to Left", that is from the Non-Player's perspective, meaning from where I sit on my side of the board it will be the reverse, I.E. they will try to move toward my right. Is this correct? Thus they will be trying to land on my Home Base.

Greetings longhaifeng! That is correct. The movement guidelines though are really just to keep it more orderly for you. Feel free to do the reverse if you like .

Game in progress
Here is my game in progress. This is at the end of the American Turn #2. I am documenting the game, and will post an AAR when I complete. I figure it will help to have people point out my errors.

Hi James! If you could please check again, I've sent a couple of PMs already, the latest included a key.
If these are not getting through for some reason, feel free contact me directly at panzer@petroglyphgames.com. I would prefer not continue to use this forum for support.
Thanks!
