Blitzkrieg!

A quick overview of the components. This game was published by Avalon Hill, way back in the 1960's. I would dare to say that this game is but one that started the wargaming hobby and the progression to the more advanced games that we have today.

1st Wargame I ever bought, from Children's Palace, in early 70's. Still have it. Yes they were pink and baby blue

This is a great old school Avalon Hill game. You're right it is one of the games that started it all.

Thanks man!

An article in the General gave names to the five minor countries between Big Red
and Great Blue: "The large country on Blue's eastern border is Yellow. Yellow shares the
Great Koufax Desert with White, to the east. White, of course, borders Big Red - a distinction
it shares with Black, to the south. The long, narrow country west of Black is Green,
which is between the lake and the sea. The country in the center of the map is Brown."

This is one I haven't got a hold of yet. Looks fun.

Nice video, John. A very cool game for it’s time! Cheers!

Thank you!

Lots of joke names on the map. The Great Koufax Desert (which is very Sandy),
Lake Pinsky (named after the designer Larry Pinsky), and River Zocchi (named
after game designer Lou Zocchi).

"...game with the cards" You might be thinking of Kriegspiel.
