Blitz Tactics: A Modular WWII Wargame
About this game
Blitz Tactics is a fast-paced, 28mm miniature wargame designed to strip away the bloat of traditional historical systems without sacrificing tactical depth. Built on the Battle Logic engine, this game focuses on decision-making, alternating activations, and narrative progression rather than endless table-referencing. Whether you are storming the beaches of the Pacific, holding the line in a ruined Stalingrad factory, or engaging in armored duels across the sands of North Africa, Blitz Tactics puts you in the boots of the commander. Why Play Blitz Tactics? Dynamic Activation: Blitz Tactics uses an alternating unit activation system, keeping both players constantly engaged. React to your opponent’s maneuvers in real-time—will you Advance to cover, Assault to pin them down, or risk a desperate Charge? Campaign System: The included "The World War" expansion turns a single battle into a war story. Progression: Your units earn XP, gain veteran abilities (like Hardened or Skirmish), and specialize over time. Logistics & Triage: Manage Requisition Points to resupply your force. Roll for Triage after battle—did your squad leader survive, or are they Scarred with a permanent injury? Three Theaters: Pre-built campaign tracks for North Africa, the Eastern Front, and the Pacific Theater. Solo Mode: Fly solo with the "Artificial Enemy" (AE). This isn't just a random die roll; it is a Unified Logic system that dictates enemy behavior based on their role (Infantry, Support, or Vehicle). The enemy will flank, hold objectives, and fall back intelligently. Digital Tools: Blitz Tactics comes with standalone HTML applications that run in any modern web browser—no installation required. The Forge: A fully functional, interactive Army Builder. Create rosters, calculate points automatically, equip special gear (Flamethrowers, Anti-Tank, Radios), and export/print your army list instantly. Solo Engine: An interactive digital assistant that handles the AI logic for you during solo play. What's Inside? Core Field Manual: All the rules you need to play, including unit stats, weapon traits, terrain rules, and the 4-action combat system. Campaign Supplement: Rules for injuries, income, upgrades, and 4 narrative scenarios (Breakthrough, Supply Raid, Ambush, No Man's Land). Solo Rules: The "Unified Doctrine" flowcharts and guide for playing against the game itself. Universal Unit Roster: A JSON unit roster ready for immediate play. Blitz Forge (App): The interactive roster builder. Solo Engine (App): The digital AI companion. —description from the publisher
