ParaBlitz was conceived out of a desire for a totally unique PANZERBLITZ situation.
Although the following rules are laden with various charts, ParaBlitz is not really very complex.
The situation dealt with in ParalBlitz is that of an attempt by the Russians to stop a German offensive before it begins.
The Germans are beginning to mass forward elements of a tank regiment on the western half of board two.
However, most of the regiment is still over a week away.
Behind the forward elements of the regiment is a vast road network which is susceptible to Russian counterattack, especially counter-attack from the air.
To the protection of this road network, the Germans have assigned remnants of an assault gun brigade as well as elements of a reconnaissance battalion.
The Russian objective: Force the forward elements of the German tank regiment back, at the same time cutting roads within German held territory. The more roads the Russian cuts deep within German territory, the farther the main German battle force must push to get back to its original starting point.
However, the Russian's forces are very limited. Although the exact size of his force is not known to the German player as the game progresses, it consists of elements of a tank brigade and a SP artillery regiment, along with the Russian para-force.
