    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.

  • '11

    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.
