AH's classic boardgame

Modules

The cgmclellan VASSAL modules were converted from ADC2 Blitzkrieg module's scenarios with importer developed by Michael Kiefte. Occasionally, importer causes translation problems between systems. If you encounter any difficulty, let me know and I should be able to correct. At one time I went through the arduous, difficult, and time-consuming process of adding AH grid coordinates to VASSAL Blitzkrieg map. I cannot find that module at this time. I will reconstruct the coordinates and add them to all modules later. The following modules are posted:
 * Blitzkrieg Basic Game.vmod: Provides counters and map for playing Blitzkrieg Basic Game with or without Basic Game Optional Rules
 * Blitzkrieg Tournament Game.vmod: Provides counters for the Tournament Game with or without Tournament Game Optional Rules. Tray contains extra counters and counters for playing all variants, e.g. Blitz '85 and Surface Raiders, except Blitzkrieg in the Pacific.
 * Blitzkrieg Module System.vmod: Provides counters and map for Blitzkrieg Module System. Extra counters and counters for all variants except Blitz in the Pacific variant are available in Tray.
 * Blitzkrieg Module System 1.vmod: Provides counters and map for Blitzkrieg Module System. Counters are setup for Order of Battle 2 (Strategic Combined Arms Army - Red) versus Order of Battle 3 (Mixed Combined Arms Army - Blue). Extra counters and counters for all variants except Blitz in the Pacific variant are available in Tray.
 * Blitzkrieg Module System 2.vmod: Provides counters and map for Blitzkrieg Module System. Counters are setup for Order of Battle 7 (Horde Infantry Army - Red) versus Order of Battle 6 (Standard Infantry Army - Blue). Extra counters and counters for all variants except Blitz in the Pacific variant are available in Tray.
 * Blitzkrieg in the Pacific.vmod: Provides counters and map for Jim Stahler's "Blitz in the Pacific" variant. Extra ship counters from War at Sea and War at Sea II and counters for other variants are available in Tray.
 * Blitzkrieg Minor Alliances.vmod: Provides counters and map to support Henry Gale's and Geoff K. Burkman's Minor Country Alliances variant.
 * Blitzkrieg -- Lou Bloss Variant.vmod Provides counters and map to support Lou Bloss' Minor Countries; Espionage and Sabotage; and New Weaponry variants.
 * v0.7 adds text markers for bookkeeping
 * v0.8 adds countermix "maps" and "city markers"

Blitzkrieg Module System added from conversion of ADC2 set using VASSAL 3.0.1-Beta2.

This BMS module does not have units setup, they are all on the map. The tray holds additional units from other scenarios.

Module charts on BMS were made before text wrapping was introduced in ADC2. I'll redo the charts as small images as I did for the Bull Run and Deluxe Bitter Woods modules -- the new charts look and work a lot better.

I'll introduce other ADC2 scenarios -- each loads as a VASSAL module -- as I check over them. There are many.

Additional material (rules, articles, charts and variants) added as zip files.

The Blitzkrieg Project is intended to be a compromise between the simplicity of the original module and the complexity of the Blitzkrieg Module System. It features an updated version of the original map (same overall appearance but larger and with text that should be more readable) and several menu and right-click options (along with improved placement of certain markers to improve their visibility while the unit is in a stack) that should help streamline gameplay. Additionally, the charts were given a visual overhaul. When starting the game, choose the Blitzkrieg Cities setup, as this has pre-placed city counters. Additionally, there is a rough readme file that gives a quick overview of the features of the module and a list of the hotkeys. Version 1.1 adds a button for rolling a six-sided die.
