Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg is the fine art of strategy, but with much more finesse! Dissect your enemy with surgical precision, halt the enemy's advance with strategic tank and air assaults, and maintain your offensive momentum. You can prove your tactical skills by triumphing in various historical campaigns during World War II. Command more effectively over the course of the war.

Progress through the game is rewarded through access to the latest warfare technology, so strategic guile is recommended.  Take command of the Allied, German or Soviet forces in WWII as you fight through three campaigns with 23 historical battles and unlimited random missions that recreate the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
