Fight in Early WWII as Battlegroup Blitzkrieg Heads for its Salute Release
March 18, 2015 by dracs
Plastic Soldier Company have announced that Battlegroup Blitzkrieg, the latest supplement for the Battlegroup series of WWII 15-20mm scale gaming rules, is at the printers and looks to be on time for its Salute release date.
Battlegroup Blitzkrieg focuses on the first two years of WWII and includes rules for recreating Luftwaffe air superiority, France’s command chaos, and the German Panzermarsch. It also includes nine new army lists, including the Polish army of 1939 and the German Panzer divisions, and nine new scenarios to help you recreate the battles across Poland, Belgium and France.
From my admittedly brief experience with historical gaming, it has struck me that there isn't that much of a focus upon the early years of the war. This latest supplement, which is currently available for pre-order, provides a gateway through which to explore the conflicts of this particularly brutal period as the world came to realise that it was entering another world war.
Are you planning to pick up a copy at Salute, or have you already placed pre-order? What period of WWII most interests you?

Now this is a cracking game, if you want an historical feel to a game this is the one for you.
Early WW2 gaming can be great fun. Lots of interesting vehicles without the power of the big cats of the Late War, they can make for a more interesting game in my view. Great period for playing with armoured cars and the like.
Im hoping I get to see a copy before Salute… 😉
Love this set of rules I have played all the books sofar and really looking forward to this one 🙂
Glad ye like it @armourygames
Hopefully Blitz will prove as much fun as the others and it is really crammed full of stuff!
I must say I always thought that the early WW2, where more interesting that the later. This sound bad to say about a horrible war, but it had more stuff happening all over the place
I love early war, but you always have to wait a long time for supplements when a new rule set comes out.
They always start with late war so that it includes big tanks & Yanks, or Russians.
Now I might look at this set.
Pre-ordered “Grey Panzer” deal at PSC, cannot wait to it is released. Have just got the Kursk book and working through the rules, really enjoyable. Not sure if I am going to Salute, would like to, but the cost of travel, I could use on other wargame goodness.

Our first book was Kursk 43, Then Overlord 44, then Fall of the Reich 45, then Barbarossa 41 and Now Blitzkreig so not bad coverage in three years for two old farts doing all the work…
Early desert next.
Is that early, mid or late war old farts?
Depends on what curry we have had…
