Blitzgreig Why not use the is game as template for PC version.

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Blitzgreig Why not use the is game as template for PC version.

Post by ironduke1955 »

I used to play, some years back the Board Wargame called Blitzgreig with two fictional nations called Big Blue and Great Red. I guess representing USSR/Germany USSR/USA. The WITE system would be great for creating a game with the same premise. Even extending the premise to include additional nations for a larger PVP option. Just a idea since I have never seen a good PC version of the boardgame.
Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?

Great game! it was definitely on of the games that I cut my teeth on learing to play board games and WiTE is the first computer game that bettered that experience.

Hi IronDuke1955,

You should give Advanced Tactics Gold a try. [8D] I believe TOAW may also have an adaptation of Blitzkrieg.

Brings back memories. I remember using blank counters to simulate step reductions rather than DE, DR etc all or nothing,creating armies for the empty territories etc. [:'(]

Can't remember the site but I have seen a computerised free version on the net.

It was the multi-player aspect of such a game that struck me as appealing. Three fully armed Nations battling it out with three likewise armed Nations. Without the nasty baggage of the second world war. From a moral point of view who can justify playing the Germans. But then they had such cool tanks[8D]. Thanks for links will look at TOAW. I did track down a download for Blitzgreig but I am wary of free downloads on the net my last one cost me hundreds of dollars to get rid of the nasty infection I contracted. I would have preferred getting a human variant a shot in the appropriate place would have been a lot cheaper.
