This is the news section of the Fall Weiss: Where the War Started"  website. Here we will post news concerning the progress of the modification itself, and occasionally other subjects as well that we consider to be relevant to the modification or Blitzkrieg in some way.

Hello!

While there are no specific news to report today, the progress of the mod continues with full speed. You can comment and follow the progress of the mod at the BKHQ Forums.

That's all for today. Keep up on the development on the Forums.

Hello!

The new community at the BKHQ forum grows for every day that goes by, and so does the Blitzkrieg Headquarters itself. Following an initiative by the BKHQ and PIMG, they have made an interview with the Fall Weiss team, where we told the public about some elements of the mod.

You can read the whole interview here

That's all for today. Keep up on the development on the Forums.

Hello and welcome to another news update!

While we have no screenshots to promote today, we have some major announcements - both bad ones and good ones.

• First of all, we must sadly inform that the Blitzkrieg Portal will be shut down in the beginning of January 2009. This will mean that the BKP Forums will also be shut down. Despite this, we thank Lee Campbell for everything he has done for us the past few years, and wish him luck in the future.

• However, we also have some good news: Resulting from this crisis as mentioned above, the community has worked hard for maintaining the community, and wespex has now opened the Blitzkrieg Headquarters. From January 2009, all news will be posted on our website and on the new forums, along with all comments, questions you might have. For now, you will have to register to enter the forums, but as it is completely free you should not be frightened to join us.

During this time, we have worked on various elements of Fall Weiss. New maps for the Slovak campaign is in progress, and final maps are prepared for scripting. Screenshots and more news will come in 2009.

Until then: Have a happy New Years Eve!

Hello and welcome to the second update since the addition of our news section!

While we now focus on finishing the final maps and scripts, there is always room for improvements - and a few new units. Below is a couple of screenshots of today's new units: a reskinned Messerschmitt Bf 109 by Aleksej fon Grozni, a Messerschmitt Bf 110 C (model and skin also by Aleksej) and a Henschel Hs 123 by AlexGENERAL_Z of the GZM mod.

Some background information about the Hensches Hs 123 dive bomber, which was obsolete by 1939. From Wikipedia:

At the outbreak of hostilities, the surviving 39 Hs 123s assigned to II. (Schl)/LG 2, were committed to action in the Polish Campaign. This single unit proved to be particularly effective. Screaming over the heads of enemy troops, the Hs 123s delivered their bombs with devastating accuracy. A frightening aspect of an Hs 123 attack was the staccato noise of its engine that a pilot could manipulate by changing rpm to create "gunfire-like" bursts. The Hs 123 proved rugged and able to take a lot of damage and still keep on flying. Operating from primitive bases close to the front lines, ground crews considered the type reliable in field conditions, being easy to maintain.

That's all for today. Keep up on the development on the Forums.

Hello and welcome to the first update since the addition of our news section!

GordonCZ has been busy improving the Fall Weiss interface. Here is a couple of screenshots of his work.

You can comment the interface at the BKP Forums.

Hello!

Due to the circumstances, we have decided to establish a news section. As the news section is now up and running, we want to commemorate this occasion by presenting the old intro Ufiak made a couple of years ago.
