I have put up screenshots of all of the major maps from The First Blitzkrieg so you can see just how much work went into this title as well as how much of Europe is already mapped.

click here

As you can see, these include:

France and the Lower countries which includes northern Italy
The British Isles with the coast of France (for Sealion)
Scandinavia (for Norway)
Denmark
Poland

The Soviet Union map will definitely be a one game effort. I am curious to see if North Africa includes from 1940 to 1943 and if Italy is added in as well.

Finally, a game on the PC that covers the entire European war at this level! Not counting War in Europe by Decision Games as it used an old looking interace.

I am looking forward to the other games in this series.

Actually with the exception of the never really finished EUROPA series, WW2IE is the first game period to cover the ETO at this level. Computer WAR IN EUROPE doesn't count not because it's old looking (in truth, a deliberate decision to mimic the board game as much as possible), but because it's a strategic (week long turns with mostly divisions and corps) rather than operational level game.

No problem. Its a total team effort. We all help each other out.

When one series is out we all rally behind it and promote it as best as we can.

I will be out of town for most of the next two months but when I return I will have more AARs to post.

Hey Bill - good stuff.

I'm sure the guys will love to see the maps and such.

Thanks for this.

Glenn
