Game Report 167: South Africa Blitz

@Axis_Powers_r_Better said in Tank blitzing through newly conquered territory:

For example, you can use a tank to “blitz” through a UNOCCUPIED friendly territory or an UNOCCUPIED enemy territory and then use another move and go into a different territory.

No, sorry, as explained above only a tank moving through an unoccupied hostile territory as the first part of a move that can end in a friendly or hostile territory is performing a “Blitz” move.

A tank that is moving through a friendly territory (occupied or unoccupied) to reach a hostile territory does not blitz but uses his two movement points during Combat Move Phase.

A tank that is moving through a friendly territory (occupied or unoccupied) to reach another friendly territory does not blitz but uses his two movement points - allowed only during Non Combat Move Phase.

@Axis_Powers_r_Better said in Tank blitzing through newly conquered territory:

A tank can move through two territories at once. For example, you can use a tank to “blitz” through a UNOCCUPIED friendly territory or an UNOCCUPIED enemy territory and then use another move and go into a different territory. If the territory is unoccupied then you automatically capture both territories.

You can’t capture a friendly territory you moved through. In that case you capture only the second territory, provided it was hostile and unoccupied.

@Young-Grasshopper I love these cards. Would it be possible to add to them? We’ve incorporated some optional rules and National objectives have been added and changed.
Or could I pay your for your PDFs and then I could craft my own and send them to a printer?

Thanks!

Thanks for the review.  Never hurts to be on the winning side.  So I hear…. :|

I had just experienced this in a game the past week. Thanks for the link Gamerman.

Great answer.  Thank you

It was helpful in a game that has somehow lasted to round 15

For clarity -

A Blitz is defined as a combat movement where a tank or mech/tank pairing enters an unoccupied enemy territory, captures it, and moves to a second territory as a single combat move.

Any other movement of two spaces, whether during combat or noncombat, is NOT a Blitz and should not be called a Blitz.  It’s either a combat move or a noncombat move, but not a Blitz.

This is important because Mech Inf can always move two spaces as a combat or noncombat move, provided it’s not a Blitz. Calling such moves “Blitzes” implies that Mech can only move two spaces with a tank under every circumstance, and that is NOT the case.

Haha nice video man. That Russian stack is pretty intense.
