Panzerblitz is a tactical-scale board wargame of tank, artillery, and infantry combat set in the Eastern Front of the Second World War. The hex-grid map comes in several pieces to be fit together for various scenarios. As the board edges are mutually compatible, the three sections can be placed in 48 distinct arrangements. Different scenario cards gave the players specific missions to carry out in order to achieve victory.

PanzerBlitz was designed to simulate a clash between two division-sized forces with units that represented companies of infantry and squads of tanks. This scale of simulation had never been done before. Nearly all previous war games had focused on larger units such as brigades, regiments, and divisions. PanzerBlitz was originally published by Avalon Hill in 1970. The game was designed by Jim Dunnigan, who would go on to run Strategy & Tactics magazine and design many other war games.

Much of the strategy in Panzerblitz derives from the rule allowing units to shoot or move, but not both, in a single turn. Additionally, the difficulty of outright destruction of units encourages players to use combined arms rather than a simple concentration of one unit type to defeat the opponent.
