About Blitzkrieg Anthology
Blitzkrieg Anthology expands the classic WWII real‑time strategy experience, letting you command the Allies, Germans or Soviets across three major campaigns. The game blends meticulous historical research with a flexible structure that lets you choose how and when to engage each battle.
Beyond the core campaigns, the title offers powerful editing tools and a richly detailed 3D world, delivering endless replayability for both veterans and newcomers who value realism and strategic freedom.
01 / THE GUIDE
Flexible Campaign Structure
Blitzkrieg’s campaign system frees players from preset difficulty levels, allowing immediate engagement or a more cautious approach through side missions. Players can select predefined or unlimited randomly generated missions to gain experience, promotions, and weapons upgrades before the central conflict.
The three central campaigns cover major WWII engagements, and each can be approached in a variety of ways, giving players control over the pacing and preparation of their forces.
- Experiment with both immediate and side‑mission approaches to see which pace fits your play style.
- Use side missions to accumulate promotions before tackling the main battles.

Historical Accuracy
Every unit in Blitzkrieg reflects the real‑world capabilities and characteristics of its era, from tank armor thickness to infantry rifle range. This attention to detail creates a level of realism rarely seen in strategy games.
Campaigns are meticulously researched to depict actual WWII battles while still allowing flexible gameplay, ensuring both authenticity and enjoyment.

Mission and Resource Editors
Two robust editors let players generate custom missions, chapters, and campaigns, adjusting difficulty and action type to suit personal preferences. The Mission Editor focuses on scenario creation, while the Resource Editor allows modification of units, textures, sounds, and more.
These tools provide unlimited freedom to reshape the game environment, extending replay value far beyond the built‑in content.
