About This GameEnhance the full Blitzkrieg experience!Eisenhower, Rommel, Zhukov; Assume your rightful place among the great generals commanding the Allies, Germans or Soviets as they advance through the decisive battles of WWII. Blitzkrieg is the latest development in WWII real-time strategy gaming combining flexibility, historic accuracy and endless playability into one of the most challenging and enjoyable games yet! Blitzkrieg's unique and completely flexible campaign structure puts you in control of deciding how your forces will fare in each of the major engagements that comprise three central Campaigns. Hardcore vets have the option of engaging the enemy immediately in a desperate struggle for battlefield dominance, or more cautious players can choose from pre-defined or unlimited randomly generated side missions as they gain experience, promotions and weapons upgrades as well as wear down the enemy before the central conflict.
Historical accuracy is pushed to the edge as each unit is endowed with the actual capabilities and characteristics that existed at the time. Details such as the thickness of a tank's armor down to the range of infantry rifles add a level of previously unprecedented realism.
Each campaign has been meticulously researched to provide an accurate depiction of the battles that took place, while still maintaining the flexibility (and fun!) necessary to let you play the way you want. Two robust editors are Blitzkrieg's keys to unlocking endless game play possibilities. The Mission Editor allows you to generate and add your own missions, chapters and campaigns according to the options you want most, from level of difficulty to type of action. The Resource Editor gives you total license to redesign the game, add or modify units, characteristics, colors, textures, sounds and more - unlimited freedom to play the game on your terms.

The majority of maps available here, come from the BKPortal legacy. Thanks go to [BKP] - Wespex - Major Pain - longfellow for their past effort to have made this possible. Also thanks to the various map authors for their entertaining custom map creations and the many translators like albertmarcel and so many others.
The main desire of this site has always been the way of presenting these hundreds of maps. The right menu pane offers different list views making it possible to sort the maps by season, mod version and such. The table view offers the ability to sort columns by map size, player side, map year, etc. Looking for a specific author? Try typing the name in the search box.
The table views have been disabled for now. They cause the site's database to grow enormously, at the point where its limit becomes exceeded within a few days. This Drupal site seems to render cache pages and search indexes for all table view possibilities and thus making the database exceed. Looking for a solution, but there might be none...
Downloads are found on each map page itself and simply come as .pak files for SinglePlayer and .zip files for MultiPlayer.
In case you are using Internet Explorer, it might happen that it turns the .pak file into a .zip file. You can still download it, but you will have to rename the extension back to .pak. Lately, also Chrome seems to act weird: when clicking the download, a page full of symbols appears. Hopefully, a temporary problem. Use your right mouse button on the download link, select Save link as... and you should be able to download the .pak even though it sounds as if you were only going to save the link, it will actually save the file itself. Modzilla Firefox works just fine. Other browsers like Safari, Opera and such have not been tested.
For SinglePlayer, place the .pak file into BlitzkriegRundata.
For MultiPlayer, unzip the .bzm and .lua file into BlitzkriegRundatamapsmultiplayer directory.
For Mods, this would be BlitzkriegRunmodsspecific mod folderdata.
The above paths are different for the Steam version of Blitzkrieg!

In most cases, the map pages show the title as it is found in the header.txt rather than the file name itself. This should make it easier to find the map within the game's custom missions overview panel. Unfortunately, this counts for the English versions only. Other languages might show a different title.
