You basically can't really afford to loose any units, so plan carefully. Remember that the enemy has pretty much the same potential as your own troops, so make good use of the 21 (yes twenty one) speed levels to calculate everything in advance.Īlso remember that you do not have an infinite supply of ammo for your units so be sure to call in some suppliers as well a some engineers that can take care of the scratches to your tanks. You'll need to put to work your long range artillery and maybe some air raids could prove useful.
#BLITZKRIEG 2 FALL OF THE REICH UNITS FULL#
You cannot just bust into the enemy base and hope you can overcome all their defenses based on a full load of tanks. It all sums up to a rather challenging gaming experience. Once in a while you'll also be asked to defend certain locations, yet this is no different as it is also done with the help of military units, the only buildings available being the ones that are already in place - houses, diverse social buildings (such as depots or cathedrals for example, that can provide a good shooting hideout for the infantry) and the occasional fortifications (well? mere light cover such as trenches).Īt all time what's taken into consideration are the armor plating, penetration effectiveness, reload times, angle of shots and unit experience offering a realistic combat modeling. The game seems to follow the words that Karl von Clausewitz stated - "The best form of defense is attack." With this in mind be ready to clear out the great battlefronts of the WWII in an attempt to secure key locations or escort different convoys. While calling these early in the game can provide you with certain superiority over the enemy troops, there will be less forces for the end part of the battle and you never know who's in the hiding just waiting for an ambush. The game adds even more complexity as it only allows for a certain number of reinforcement calls. Each new level provides additional special abilities for the units, some of them proving to be extremely efficient on the battlefield (such as the Grenade Bundle that increases the damage done by throwing grenades yet also depletes the ammo supply faster). The commanders gain experience points for every battle according to the number of enemy units destroyed. Ask for infantry units, engineers, tanks and even air and naval assistance. No building construction is involved as all needed extra units are called into battle as reinforcements. Blitzkrieg is a tactical strategy so it concentrates on troop maneuvering and taking advantage of the grounds. From the heart of Europe to the isles in the Pacific all the major battlefronts will reveal themselves to you in an attempt to demonstrate your qualities as a strategist.Īn in-game encyclopedia presents over 250 realistic modeled military units of the great forces engaged in the war - USA, Great Britain and France, USSR, Germany and Italy as well as Japan. It is time for Blitzkrieg 2 - Fall of the Reich.Īlong three considerable (still historically accurate) campaigns that propose about 80 challenging missions, the player will be facing the battlegrounds that put to the test the German, Soviet and US military commanders during the WWII. The time has come for a tremendous focus on new strategic opportunities, global war and the gritty realism of historically accurate battles of the WWII. Silent Storm combined turn-based tactical combats and role-playing set while Blitzkrieg was a highly appreciated RTS. Ever since 2003 they seem to have developed a passion for WWII inspired tactical strategy games. With titles like Heroes of Might and Magic V, Night Watch (both released in 2006) and Etherlords (2001 and the sequel in 2003) in their portfolio, Nival Interactive has gained itself a pretty good name in the computer gaming industry.
