Question, I thought that Mechs couldn’t Blitz, unless they were accompanied by a Tank? Wondering for Stalingrad.
-
A blitz is when you move through two enemy territories (I believe). In this case, I moved through the Italian territory of Rostov and into Stalingrad.
I’ll check the rule.
Germany collects 58 + 20 NO = 78 IPCs.
-
The book mentions a blitz specifically occurring when the first territory is an enemy territory… so it seems I’m ok. However, we should keep investigating.
-
No, that seems fine. I just recalled not being able to blitz through 2 Russian territories with my Mech. But, looking back on it now, I was trying to take 2, and not going through 1 already controlled by my side. Game on sir.

Costly in Mech, but a good round strategically. One of the things I’ve had to tell myself in this version is that Mech Infantry… are just Infantry, and not to get caught up in worrying about losing them. Their job is to die for the Emperor’s Godly goals.
Japan collects 55 IPCs.
