Luckily the interface keeps it somewhat easy to keep units together, although it could be made easier since it's difficult sometimes to tell which units belong to which without having to dig into them zoomed in. The most important thing to remember is to keep your "individual regiments together as a divion", your "divisions together as corps", and your "corps together as armies". The map has three zoom levels and a mini map that is accessible in the upper right of the screen (see image below) which makes navigation somewhat easier. The map of Poland in the "Case White" scenario is large enough to easily lose your bearings. Variants - Each scenario comes with it's own variants such as Stalin breaking his promise, Western troops helping in Poland, British sending more troops to France, weather variations, etc. This scenario is much more difficult since the Germans are faced with a much harder task with limited resources. Operation Seal Lion - The German player must capture 24 VPs before the end of September 20th. The hexes on this map represent a smaller area and each round equals one day. The German player is of course facing France, the BEF, Belgium and the Netherlands. Warsaw is worth 10 VPs alone so all the Polish player needs to do is hold onto Warsaw and one other VP to win.Ĭase Yellow - The German player wins if they capture 70 of the 106 VPs by the end of June 8th. There is also a campaign that encompasses all three scenarios.Ĭase White - The German player wins if they capture 48 or more of the 58 total victory points on the map within 12 turns (unless the game is played in Campaign mode - which gives the player an additional 4 turns). "The Blitzkrieg" contains three scenarios: Case White (the German invasion of Poland), Case Yellow (the invasion of France and the Low Countries) and Operation Sea Lion (the invasion of England). The other three games in the series: "The Blitzkreig", "Case Blue" and "Barbarossa" are all on sale right now in anticipation of the newly released "Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive" earlier this month. It was released to Steam back in August of 2010 (and the Matrix Games site earlier), but I finally dove into into it since it was on sale for under $10.
Western blitzkrieg 2 game full screen series#
The Decisive Campaigns series is the classic hex and counter, turned-based strategy game that most wargamers are accustomed to. The Blitzkrieg is definitely an art to study as this game is so perfect at teaching. I need to be even more daring next time and that's what keeps me going back to playing one more time and perfecting the art of Blitzkrieg. Exactly what pulled off the dramatic collapse of Poland and France. That's what The Blitzkrieg brings to the table - the feeling of pushing forward into the unknown and being daring. Each time, I get bolder and send my panzers into the unknown hoping they don't get cut off, which has worked each time, except for one exception. So very close! Literally the last two times, I've been in the hex outside of the Warsaw VP hex. Each time I'm getting closer to capturing Warsaw in the time constraint given. I've played the Polish campaign (Case White) three times now.
