Hello! I will be hosting a new game of Blitzkrieg for Dummies (BFD). I will be using the same rules and map as the first game of BFD. I need 1 person to host, and 5 people to play. The host will do map changes, move orders, and whatever else a GM of this game does. I'm really just hosting the thread.
(By the way, ThunderHawk3 gave me permission to host more games in a PM, and said they just retired because GMing was labor-intensive.)
Rules
Blitzkrieg for Dummies
Short Rules
BFD is separated into halves ("phases"): 1) the Diplomacy phase, during which you do diplomacy and unit deployment and redeployment, and 2) the War phase, during which you try to conquer the map. Each phase lasts a maximum of five turns. Whoever ends the game with the most territory wins.

Rules
Blitzkrieg for Dummies
Short Rules
- There are two phases, both of which last only five turns
- You use money to buy units in the Diplomacy phase
- You can choose to attack during the diplomacy phase, starting the war phase
- Every unit has a strength
- Units deal half their strength in damage to each other when they fight
- If a unit is attacked by a stronger unit, it retreats
- Units are destroyed when then run out of strength
- Units that would retreat but can't (ie: are encircled) are destroyed
- Units are in supply if they are linked to supply caches by hexes you control
- If a player runs out of supply caches, that player is defeated
- The player that controls the most territory at the end of the game wins
- Defeating another player gives you a powerful blitzkrieg token
- Blitzkrieg tokens, when played, let you take an extra turn immediately
