This page is devoted to my Blitzkrieg Redux project, a graphical revamp of Avalon Hill's classic wargame, BLITZKRIEG. From here you can download PNG and PDF files for the mapboard sections, counters, weather cards, and reference documentation. Below is a photo of some prototype counters set up on the map. To the right of the photo is an image link to the Blitzkrieg Redux Components PDF document which describes the new counters provided by this project and how they interact with the new charts & tables boards.

The Mapboard: The mapboard is composed of three 600dpi image files, each corresponding to a board section from the original game. This separation is necessary for the weather module from SPI's Blitzkrieg Module System. There are also three board sections containing charts and tables. One is for the 1st edition (1965) version of Blitzkrieg, one is for the 2nd edition (1975) version, and one is for the Blitzkrieg Module System. These charts & tables boards are designed to be oriented vertically and placed on either side of the mapboard. Click on the board images below to view. Right-click and choose Save Target As... to download (this is recommended over viewing them inside your browser and trying to save them from there).






The Counters: There are seven counter sheets in the Blitzkrieg Redux counter set. These are: Blue (core), Red (core), Minors/Variants (core), Blue (BMS), Red (BMS), Minors (BMS), and SRaiders/B85. I made the counters double-sided, with the reverse side used for various game functions as described in the Blitzkrieg Redux Components document (see top of page). I have provided the front and back counter sheets as separate PDF files, collected into a single .ZIP archive. Right-click the image below and choose Save Target As... to download the counter sheets archive.

BMS Weather Cards: The original Weather module components provided by the Blitzkrieg Module System are replaced here by the Blitzkrieg Redux Weather Card deck. There are six cards for each season, and you can either draw one at random at the beginning of each turn or roll a die and use the card with the matching number. The weather conditions for each of the weather zones (i.e., the three mapboard sections: left, middle, right) are printed on the card. The entire deck is provided in a single PDF with alternating pages containing card fronts and backs. As usual, I recommend right-clicking the image below and choosing Save Target As... to download the PDF.
