It has never been done before: Here is your easy-to-play symbiosis between strategy game and simulation:

The Situation

Blitzkrieg General sweeps back to the times of World War II.
Two military Alliances, the "Allies" and the "Axis" fight a fierce struggle for supremacy...WWII from 1939 to 1945...

The Allies British Empire, France, China, and Poland defend against the conquest plans of the Axis powers Japan, Germany, and Italy. Both sides are supported by some smaller countries.
Later the USSR and the USA joined the Allied side. Will the Axis powers achieve a decisive victory before the immeasurable economic power of the USA changes the balance to the Allies? Now you are in command! You decide what to do!

Blitzkrieg General enables 1-8 players (Designer's suggestion: 5), from 10-88, to play the entire Second World War in one evening...
