Attached is my TAC Scenario Conversions, plus one more of the missing files that I found.

For those that don't know what TAC is, it essentially is...

SPI's 1969: Test Series Games, called Tactical Game 3, included with Game Situations 1-6. This was the precursor game to Avalon Hill's PanzerBlitz board game.

Back then the scenarios did not have any names, so I took the luxury of creating a name for each of the scenarios and the liberty to retrofit those scenarios into the SPWW2 format. These are all pretty 'meaty' scenarios (at least a battalion or more on each side (that is 3-4 companies).

Many many thanks to RetLT for his fine and dedicated testing.

Here is a summary of each scenario.

These all take a few hours to play. Clear your afternoon and hold your calls.

Hmmm, there are around 104 PanzerBlitz/PanzerLeader scenarios, I could convert those one day...

Great Scott! What are you waiting for? It would be your eternal gift to a grateful wargaming public.

And who knows? After people get jaded with fancy graphics attending specious stuff like World of Tanks a sober, historically based combined-arms tactical game like WINSPWW2 might be right up their alley.
