"Tank Battle: Blitzkrieg recreates the opening clashes of World War II, starting with the German advance into Poland on September 1, 1939.

German campaigns then swept through Denmark and Norway before launching the Battle of France on May 10, 1940, via Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg."
This strategy game highlights how flawed Allied tactics struggled against the German Blitzkrieg, despite strong tanks and troops. Italian forces joined the push into southern France, sealing the rapid victories. Players who enjoy historical strategy recreations will find these pivotal battles compelling.
‘Tank Battle: Blitzkrieg!’ recreates the first battles of World War II. On 1st September 1939 the German army marched into Poland, two weeks later the Soviets also invaded and the Polish army was crushed by 6th October. Over the coming months the Germans expanded their grip on Europe with further invasions of Denmark and Norway.
On 10th May 1940 the Battle of France began after the German army entered the low countries of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Within weeks the French army was forced to surrender and the British army had retreated at Dunkirk.
To add to the French agony the Italian army also invaded Southern France in support of the Germans. The allied armies had some excellent tanks and soldiers but their strategy was flawed and their tactics dated and unable to deal with the German Blitzkrieg!
