Good day to you, comrades!
The New Year is fast approaching with only a few days left, and we are all preparing presents for each other and for ourselves.
We have prepared two surprises for you: a new map for skirmish mode, which you have all been waiting for, as well as a funny gaming event, which is related to the New Year.
Let’s start with the best news first :)
The new map is called Castle Ruins.
It’s a snowy region in the north of France, in the Ardennes mountains near Belgium. A spectacular castle used to stand here, but after past assaults by different nations, only the ruins are left. But even they capture the imagination with their size and former greatness. According to the architect’s plans, the castle was surrounded by a water-filled moat, with bridges and secret passageways leading into the building. These have all been preserved. The large number of assault routes will provide tactical variety to the skirmishes on this map.
One of the features of this map is the presence of towers. These fortifications provide a useful vantage point for the platoons, as well as being very reliable and hard to destroy. The towers are not located near the control points, but the soldiers occupying them can shoot over strategically important areas.
There has been fighting in this region in the past. You can see the evidence in the various weapons left by the castle, whose occupation will help you to win.
We recommend actively using the infantry during fighting on this map. Send your fighters to take the weapons and the towers, and victory will be as good as yours!
Over the holidays, you will find the new map festively decorated – you will be surrounded by beautiful Christmas trees, and General Winter will be waiting for you under the biggest tree. He is completely harmless, although we’ll admit that we wanted to give him a grenade launcher so that he could defend himself if necessary :)
Grandfather hasn’t come alone but with presents. You can find out what’s in them by joining the game.
The New Year has affected not only the map but also the troops in the game. We have introduced a special support during the festive season! Can you guess who it is?
You can summon General Winter himself to help you! The harmless old man makes a pretty good scout, and you can also summon as many greybeards as you like, but remember that reloading the support takes one minute. Can you imagine a whole squad of Generals Winter, who shock the enemy with their appearance? Can you? Unfortunately, war is no place for suspicious-looking types – the poor grandfathers will be gunned down :( You better be quick to save them if they are spotted!
The New Year decorations and support won’t remain in the game for long, so don’t wait to experience the positive emotions when you test them in battle.
By the way, during the festive season, you will get this map every time you log into the skirmish!
On behalf of the development team at Blitzkrieg 3, we wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for the future! To health, happiness and victory! :)
