Blitzkrieg: Unexpected Depth in a Quick-Playing Wargame Today's Wargame Wednesday dives into PSC Game's 2019 title, Blitzkrieg, a remarkably easy-to-learn wargame that surprises with its strategic depth. While it abstracts intricate combat simulations for streamlined playability, Blitzkrieg offers valuable lessons in resource management and economy of force. The game comes in two versions with minor mechanical differences. Both revolve around acquiring terrain using randomly drafted tiles representing land, sea, and air units. In one version, players vie for dominance across the United States. Blitzkrieg shines in its ability to teach valuable wartime skills. The tile-drafting mechanic forces players to prioritize resources carefully, while limited unit availability demands wise troop deployment. This makes it a compelling entry point for educational institutions seeking to introduce tactical thinking and strategic decision-making through the engaging medium of wargames. So, good luck to all wargamers, and may the dice be with you! #war #wargames #wargaming #warfighter #usmc #learning #education #blitz
