Is blitzing viable?

Again. thanks for the advice and insight. I was wondering how to only quote part of a post. On an earlier post of mine you responded to each question in between the quote

like that? You just need to know some really easy HTML.
When you quote a post, in your reply you will note quote in brackets with a pointer to who you are quoting, the text of the post and at the end you will note a slash and quote in brackets again.
You don’t have to actually
quote someone to use the boxes
you only need to use the html operators. If you put some text in bold or italics and stuff and look closely when you hit quote to reply to a post you should be able to catch on to the syntax easily enough.

I blitz sparingly and typically only to make a small hole bigger or to get into Neufchauteau bypassing Bastogne and early on around St. Vith and maybe into Malmedy or Eupen if oppurtunity presents
lets see
You are correct that you have to be mindful of the enemy ZOCs or else you can get your troops in a bad position but you are also often creating that situation for the enemy with the blitz
by god… i think ive got it

It seems you do. :-)

There you go being helpful again, Frimmel! :wink:

With Germany, I almost always try to blitz with one or two tanks. If you can open up a hole (clear just one hex) in the allied line, you usually can blitz one tank to put it next to the allied truck supplying that part of the front, thereby trapping it. The tank of course gets destroyed the next turn, but the ratio german tanks:allied trucks = worth it. granted, I’ve only played a handful of games as so has my opponent, but so far it’s worked out nicely.
-
You understand that all trucks not in an enemy zone of control are sent to the offboard area before any blitzing right? (page 11)
A truck has to be trapped (in an enemy ZOC) before any movement or blitz movement happens.
-
Oh right :-o… Seems my memory of my own ingenuity betrays me… Yeah, I know the rule, and we’ve played by it. It’s been more than just a tank or two, or I’ve been lucky (or opponent unlucky) with the dice when I’ve managed to stay behind enemy lines trapping tanks.
-
Usually I blitz when I can get a hex cut off from resupply and that hex is only attackable by reinforcements. Often though those blitzed tanks don’t make it. You have to pick the correct order of battle during the next turn’s combats and winning the initiative becomes really big.
-
I just realized, writing this (at work), thinking about the few games I’ve played this far, what a fantastically fun game this is. I’m so looking forward to my next game as the allies. It’s going to be the first time I play the allies having a more full understanding of the gameplay.
