BLITZKRIEG 1942

Blitzkrieg 1942
Using the new the new blitzkrieg tactics to crush opposition in Poland, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, France and the Balcans within two years, Hitler found himself in total command of the European Continent. His next step: the Soviet Union. In June 1941, Hitler invaded Russia.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific, the Japanese had turned aggressive. By August 1942 they had taken control of Southeast Asia and reached as far as New Guinea on the road toward an invasion of Australia. Menaced by the American presence in the Pacific, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, bringing the United States into the war.

Here's your chance to rewrite history. The date: July 1942!

I know, I know! More ww2 you say :angry: :doitnow!: . But this is my last ww2 scenario and to celebrate it I made a spectacular one

You might have heard about the scenario Blitzkrieg before. I have made two versions of it before. The first one was Blitzkrieg 1941. It led to Blitzkrieg 1936, which again led to this – Blitzkrieg 1942. This is the last chapter in the Blitzkrieg trilogy and many major changes, and tweaks have been made. It contains a unique tech tree, which btw took me months to develop. This is the ultimate BK-scenario.

In this scen I’ve tried to make everything as simple as possible. There are only 5 playable scen, which makes it optimized for PBEMs and makes for a better power balance. All Fairline units btw. Many changes have also been done since the play test version of this scen. The difference between this and the former BK-scens is that the Allies start with the upper hand. And in the former BK-scens I have used barbarians. I have not done so here, so this scen should work just as good in Single Player as in Multiplayer.

World situation:

1. Axis
2. Imperial Japan

3. USA (& Allies)
4. British Commonwealth

5. Soviet Union

(6. Neutrals
7. Vichy-France)


One thing that you might notice in this from the other two Blitzkrieg scens, is that I’ve gone away from that “1 in hitpoint” thing. Now battles last longer and hitpoints and firepower are regulated to fit the various units.

Note: Remember to take terrain into account before attacking. Rivers, hills etc give defense bonuses. Many cities are placed on rugged terrain and requires a cunnig plan to take them .

Looking good, Eivind - I'm not so much for the nemoesque look in general, but it looks very nice !! - very clean, iconographically - and I see you used the factory I shined up for FMK, as industrial terrain - I Like the mountains too.

I've never played any of your previous Blitzkrieg scens - it looks like I should give this one a try !!

 

[Eivind IV]

I'm not so much for nemo-esque myself either, but this isn't nemo-esque - This is Fairline-esque

Yes, that's probably the factory you shined up for FMK. I shrank it a bit though.

Glad you like it

Tell me, are you Hardjoy from Apolyton and CDG?

 

[Morten Blaabjerg]

Yes - most sure am

I concur with Morten Eivind. Very crisp graphics! Looks almost as an aerial photograph to me!

Breathtaking!

 

[Eivind IV]

Thank you, gentlemen!

Ok, this is the update to version 2 of this scenario. Hopefully the last one.

Changes:

* Changed the Type-97 tank and the Supply unit slot. Now the supply unit has freight abilities and trade is a bit more lucrative.
* Placed some units here and there.
* Now engineers can build fortresses.
* Removed some wrong misplaced British units inside San Francisco
* Replaced the JS-3 with the JS-2
* Changed the pzkpfw III graphic to the correct one
* Changed an event
* Changed some rules here and there. Movements, hitpoints, attacks etc.


Have fun!

PS: I included the v2.0 update in the zip in the first post. -- TF

That's very nice and i'll download it if it is for Regular Civ or just Civ 2 gold and not needing that other FW expansion or whatever it's called.

 

[Eivind IV]

You need Civilization II Muliplayer Gold Edition to play this scenario, popularly called MGE or Civ2 gold, so you should be fine!
