Panzer Grenadier: Hyderabad 1948 2026

Under the British Raj, India included 565 "princely states," each with their own semi-independent rulers. At the 1947 founding of independent India almost all of them opted to join either India or Pakistan, but the largest, Hyderabad, balked at becoming part of India. Its ruler, the Nizam Osman Ali Khan, chose independence for his state or, barring that, accession to Pakistan.

Indian leaders refused to allow a large Muslim nation within their borders, leaving land-locked Hyderabad with few options. Muslim activists armed themselves and prepared to resist the Indians. While the Nizam frantically tried to expand his 22,000-strong regular army and Qasim Razwi gathered 200,000 fanatic militiamen, the Indians prepared their Operation Polo to conquer Hyderabad. In September 1948, the Indian Army began a four-pronged assault. Four days later, the Nizam surrendered.

Hyderabad 1948 is a mostly-complete Panzer Grenadier game; you’ll need a set of Panzer Grenadier Fourth Edition rules (from any Panzer Grenadier game – the rules are the same in all of them). You can use the maps from Conquest of Ethiopia or order them separately.

Hyderabad 1948 includes 240 new pieces and 10 new scenarios; it’s a digital download so you’ll have to assemble the pieces yourself.

Note: This product is a digital download. Pieces require assembly.
