Tank Battle: Blitzkrieg recrea los primeros choques de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, desde el avance alemán sobre Polonia el 1 de septiembre de 1939. Dos semanas después, las fuerzas soviéticas arrasaron las defensas polacas a principios de octubre. Las campañas alemanas barrieron luego Dinamarca y Noruega, antes de desatar la Batalla de Francia el 10 de mayo de 1940, a través de Bélgica, Holanda y Luxemburgo.
Este juego de estrategia pone de relieve cómo las tácticas aliadas defectuosas se vieron superadas por la Blitzkrieg alemana, pese a contar con tanques y tropas potentes. Las fuerzas italianas se unieron al empuje hacia el sur de Francia, sellando las victorias relámpago. Los aficionados a las recreaciones de estrategia histórica hallarán estos combates decisivos irresistibles.
‘Tank Battle: Blitzkrieg!’ recreates the first battles of World War II. On 1st September 1939 the German army marched into Poland, two weeks later the Soviets also invaded and the Polish army was crushed by 6th October. Over the coming months the Germans expanded their grip on Europe with further invasions of Denmark and Norway.
On 10th May 1940 the Battle of France began after the German army entered the low countries of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Within weeks the French army was forced to surrender and the British army had retreated at Dunkirk.
To add to the French agony the Italian army also invaded Southern France in support of the Germans. The allied armies had some excellent tanks and soldiers but their strategy was flawed and their tactics dated and unable to deal with the German Blitzkrieg!
