1 x 5/8" (16mm) custom precision die.
Panzer-Brigade 107 is an entry in Battleschool’s series of Operation Market-Garden themed custom precision dice for ASL. Each die in the series is a 5/8″ (16mm) ball-cornered custom precision die associated with a unit that fought during the Market-Garden operation.
Panzer-Brigade 107 was a relatively small and minor unit compared to others that fought to take the “bridge too far,” but was designed solely because the unit appears in the third party module Hell’s Highway.
The die is a black die with white pips. In lieu of a 1-facing is a gold foil rendition of the divisional symbol of the 25th Panzergrenadier Division. The 107th was built from the remnants of the destroyed 25th Panzergrenadier, so that unit’s symbol was apparently used here because a brigade has no divisional symbol.
Even Market-Garden fans might have a tough time convincing themselves to buy this particular die, which depicts a unit that did not actually fight at Market-Garden and whose remnant appears in a minor third party product.
Presumably, “did not actually fight at Market-Garden” is meant to be “did not actually fight at Arnhem?” Because the 107th was involved in fighting that was unambiguously part of the overall operation.
