You have long and short-range artillery, tanks, self-propelled guns, rocket launchers and troop carriers. Best results come from using a mix of units with different capabilities. "Blitzkrieg is more tactical because of the amount of units that you have to work with," says Dmitry. We probed Dmitry on what tools Blitzkrieg would place at the armchair colonel's disposal to out-manoeuvre his opponent.
You don’t need to know about the historical reality, but you'll soon come to learn about it first hand.īut when talking about playability in a strategy game, a good chunk of what you’re interested in is its tactical richness. So as you desperately try to manoeuvre your US Sherman tanks for a shot at the weaker rear armour of the formidable German Tiger, you'll understand why in reality a British commander suggested we should send eight Shermans for every Tiger spotted. Every vehicle is rated for front, side, rear and top armour, and every weapon for penetration and damage. Unlike more cartoonish entnes in the genre, infantry won't be able to whittle down the hit points of a heavy tank with their rifles. But keeping you there will be great gameplay." Whittle And Hum "We’ve put a tremendous amount into drawing the player into WWII with the amount of realism and historical background that we’ve included. "It’s all about gameplay and atmosphere," begins Blitzkrieg's project manager Dmitry Devishev. But instead of bogging down in a world of hexagons and instruction manuals, the developer has tempered this love of military detail with rock-solid and intuitive gameplay. It’s festooned with weapons, vehicles and scenarios, and an absolute almanac of background details and historical footage to offer a little in the way of education. Straight out of Moscow, Nival Interactive’s eye-catching Blitzkrieg spans the European theatre from the beginning to end of hostilities. And in the world of PC games at least, what better form should that input take than an extremely promising RTS full of historical veracity and gameplay swagger? So in deciding on how the story of the most momentous war ever is remembered, it’s only right that our former Soviet cousins have some serious input. By the time we hit the Normandy beaches in 1944, the Red Army was already kicking the door down on the Reich, and the burning issue was not "can we take Germany and stop the Nazis?", but rather "can we stop the Communists from taking Germany?"
While obsessing about the heroic role the UK played in defeating Hitler, we tend to overlook the fact that the ones who did the most to thwart the Nazi juggernaut, like it or not, were the Russians.
