Tank Battle: Blitzkrieg recrée les premiers affrontements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, à partir de l'avancée allemande en Pologne le 1er septembre 1939. Les forces soviétiques suivirent deux semaines plus tard, balayant les défenses polonaises début octobre. Les campagnes allemandes déferlèrent ensuite sur le Danemark et la Norvège, avant de lancer la bataille de France le 10 mai 1940, via la Belgique, les Pays-Bas et le Luxembourg.
Ce jeu de stratégie met en lumière les faiblesses des tactiques alliées face à la Blitzkrieg allemande, malgré des chars et des troupes solides. Les forces italiennes rejoignirent l'offensive dans le sud de la France, scellant ces victoires fulgurantes. Les amateurs de reconstitutions stratégiques historiques y trouveront des batailles décisives passionnantes.
‘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!
