Golden Journal 48: Black Helicopters

Edición en inglés.

Several times a year, when we feel like it, the Golden Journal brings Gold Club members some fun extras for their Avalanche Press games. Our new-model Golden Journal features a “real” booklet, just like a small magazine, and a small set of die-cut, silky-smooth playing pieces.

The first helicopter entered serial production in 1942, the Sikorsky R4, an American machine. Others followed, including several from German manufacturers – the Flettner Fl.282 and Focke-Achgelis Fa.223 both would see limited service before the end of World War II.
Black Helicopters brings the helicopters to Panzer Grenadier: 28 very fine die-cut pieces, featuring the R4, Fl.282 and Fa.223 plus the Fa.284 (a heavy transport helicopter), the P.1003 (a tilt-rotor transport) and the Japanese Ka-1 autogyro. We tell you their stories, and then we include 10 new scenarios so you can play with them. You’ll need Parachutes Over Crete and Elsenborn Ridge to play those scenarios.

Golden Journal No. 48: Black Helicopters is built around the 28 helicopter pieces that were used in the old Secret Weapons book (part of a larger sheet including the heavy tanks in Golden Journal No. 37: Heavy Metal).

You’ll need Parachutes Over Crete (for the German mountain troops), River Battleships and Fire in the Steppe (for the maps and most of the other pieces) to play all of the scenarios.
