Description

Blitzkrieg is a classic hex and counter board game that simulates a fictional World War II conflict between two major antagonists, Great Blue and Big Red. The game features a range of units, including infantry, armor, artillery, and air power, and introduces rules at three levels: basic, advanced, and tournament play. With a playtime of 90 minutes and normal complexity, Blitzkrieg is accessible to fans of board games, especially those familiar with wargames. The game's mechanics, such as dice rolling and grid movement, create a engaging and challenging experience for two players. The use of a hexagon grid and zone of control adds depth to the gameplay, while the combat results table and movement points system make each battle unique. As one of the earlier releases from Avalon Hill, Blitzkrieg has a nostalgic feel to it, with a simple yet effective design that still holds up today, making it a great introduction to the world of wargames.
