The German campaign in Western Europe, 1940. Eleven browser tools covering the operational cards, the three combat tables, the shock index, and the air war.
A suite of digital companions for Blitzkrieg in the West. Each tool encodes the printed rules and charts directly, so the column shifts, die roll modifiers, and sequencing are handled while you play. Everything runs in the browser with nothing to install.
Where the rules and the charts disagree, the tools expose the choice as a toggle rather than deciding for you.
Build an operational card set against the point allotment, both sides. Enforces every printed exclusion, surfaces the ones the cards leave unsaid, and flags combinations where one card pays for what another already does.
Open planner 02A deployment checklist that rewrites itself around the cards and options you picked. Marks the substitution cards in amber, since removing the units they replace is the step people miss.
Open assistantAll three combat tables with the full shift list. Shows the column your raw strengths earn and the column you actually attack on, then every outcome on it before you commit to the roll.
Open resolver 04What your airstrikes may fly, what your fighters do to theirs, and what your bombers do to the ground. Checks allocation against air base command capacity and gates the card-locked missions.
Open planner 05Scatter, then the special operation, then the fight in the hex, in the order the rules require. A destroyed fortress does not remove its garrison, and the tool says so at the moment it matters.

Shock is the second way to lose this game. Several countries collapsed in 1940 while they still had the means to fight.
Five country tracks with their collapse thresholds marked. Applies the award schedule to the right country, rolls the Shock Effect when a threshold is reached, and handles the surrender cascade on its own.
Open tracker 07Builds the die roll modifier for one recovery attempt across all three columns. Date-gated modifiers grey out when the turn and side make them impossible, so the wrong schedule cannot be applied.
Open manager 08A line of supply has two halves and either can fail alone, so this tests them separately. Covers automatic supply, the British port exception, and bridgeheads negating river cost.
Open checker 09The whole sequence of play as a live checklist. Second and third impulses stay dimmed unless a card grants them, so nobody takes a movement phase they did not pay for.
Open sequencer
Counter values are drawn straight from the sheet, so the browser and the tools cannot drift apart.
Every counter that carries printed values, with its combat effective side and its fatigued side together. Search by designation, aircraft name, or value; filter by nationality and unit class.
Open browser 11Both scoring schedules with the collapse values, the four-step margin ladder, and both sudden death conditions called out when they apply.
Open calculatorThe countersheet as plain JSON. Every counter with printed values, its combat effective and fatigued sides paired, plus nationality, unit size, and class. Extracted from the countersheet geometry and reusable for any further unit-dependent tool.
