    06-Apr-05 (review from PalmGear)
    Being skeptical as to how realistic this might be, I am overwhelmed by this game. It is addictive, but also very accurate. If one knows WW2 history, one can try different strategies and see how they may have panned out. You can play the Allies, Axis, or Soviets, depending on the scenario - and there are many scenarios, so you won't get bored.

    The thrill of stopping Barbarossa in its tracks by using a tactic the Russians used in 1812 vs Napoleon, and then actually advancing through Poland and Hungary/Romania was something. Given that I was crushed the previous time, it showed that sometimes, military strategy alters world events.

    The AI is also well schooled in Blitzkrieg. When a weakness in the enemy lines/units is sense, it is rapidly exploited.

    Some quick tips:
    1. Reinforce as many units as you can; it's more important than purchasing other units to enter the fray.
    2. Take out German panzers and Luftwaffe bases when possible, even at the expense of allowing deep infantry penetration. The panzers are fast, and will exploit your weaknesses before you can recover.
    3. Keep your artillery and airbases distant enough from the front to limit the enemy's attack options.
    4. Do not worry so much about the cities if you feel you can regain them by game's end.
    5. Use the cities/rivers for defensive purposes. The Germans attacking Kiev and Odessa found the going very tough and costly when I had units based in the cities. Had they bypassed them, as Blitzkrieg doctrine dictates, they may have caused me problems, however, this was an accurate depiction of Hitler's interference with his General Staff.

    Oh man, what a great little game! All grognards MUST buy this game just to support PlayTek.
    I paid ten bucks for this game and have already received multiples of that in support. (I had troubles loading the game, but it was entirely my fault.)
    BUY THIS GAME! I too want to see a west front and squad level game. I want PlayTek to survive and give us more.

    16-Feb-05 (review from PalmGear)
    Blitzkrieg is easily comparible to Panzer General (an old but excellent PC game) and the board game Axis and Allies as far as enjoyment and depth of play. If you enjoy either of these two games, or other turn based strategy games, I suggest you chech this one out. I recommend reading the manual before playing even the demo. It's more than just toe - toe combat. You get bonuses for defending in moutains/cities, moral and experience of troops, attacking units in the rear etc. A two player option would have been nice as humans are always more fun to battle than AI, but even without this feature it's still a first rate game and worth the price.
