Even stationary field guns will range in to distant enemy positions and rock the ground as they pummel the distant enemy. In the air too you'll see fighters gracefully flitting through the sky, while dive-bombers peel away to strafe advancing armour.
Blitzkrieg is a Real Time Strategy game with the right mix of authenticity and action that easily reaches into the area of computer game as historical literature. Presenting the best of visuals, controls and goals while leading the player through major events and more mundane encounters in three World War II European Theater campaigns, the product exhibits a comprehensive understanding of the ground war fought over half century ago.
The three campaigns in the previewed version are organized into chapters and missions, each of which includes background text on the situation, historical context and tactical issues. A little spell checking might be in order before the American English version is released and a little fact checking as well. England and France didn't declare war when the Germans invaded Norway; they did so months before, two days after the invasion of Poland.
The menus include "custom mission" choices, so the promise of a mission builder in the final release is encouraging. There's plenty of action for the casual soldier but the groggiest of grognards might swoon over the authenticity of the units and the inclusion of nearly all the equipment, including some of the more obscure tanks and self-propelled guns. There are even automobiles and Lend-Lease Soviet Studebaker trucks.
Overall feel and flavor for the ground war is masterful. When your squad fights from a building, they shoot from every window.
You have to bring in a tow to move your artillery and the crews can be eliminated while the guns stay intact and for capture or remanning. Engineers lay and clear mines, build and repair bridges, dig trenches and erect tank obstacles.
Four types of air assets can be called in: level bombers, recon, ground attack and fighters. Weather is a factor. There's snipers, officers, paratroopers, the works. And halleluia there's even a damage model. Vehicles have four armor ratings to represent thickness: side, rear, front and top. Guns are rated for damage and penetration.
We're still dealing with hit points for the actual damage but at least facing is now a factor. Infantry units hold their last formation order, even after exiting a building. Controls are easy and close to standard RTS expectations.
The ability to issue commands while the game is paused gives the best of both turn-based and RTS styles, allowing intense bursts of action interspersed with calm, but tense, operational planning. Complete a mission and the next in the campaign can either be a historical or a randomly generated encounter.
At some steps the player is given a choice of missions. Units upgrade, promote and carry over. Equipment bonuses are awarded for winning missions.
Its developer then splits in two. And we haven't even tackled the other nostril yet; the similarly overgrown RTS genre that's been constantly plucking at WWII for inspiration. Blitzkrieg 2 then: sequel to 'Ten Expansion Packs' Blitzkrieg the one time Sudden Strike -Wer itself superseded by a sequel and soon to be again by another.
