Following World War II, Italy has struggled with negative memories of defeat and mediocre performances, long labouring under the stigma of failure and incompetence. Merely a remnant of a past to be forgotten, war was expressly rejected in the Constitution, but the creation of NATO meant that the Italian Armed Forces were quickly reorganised and expanded within a totally different international framework than before. Preparing for a feared invasion from the east, likely via Yugoslavia, Italy played an important role in the Mediterranean. Still, the country’s strategic culture, a mixture of realpolitik and pacifist tendencies, severely impacted it’s military policies. The Italian Army at first glance might seem under-equipped compared to its NATO peers. However, it should be noted that they were supposed to defend a well-fortified, and mostly rugged mountainous terrain on their eastern border. Moreover, quality of units varied significantly across the Army. Some were better trained or better equipped, for example the famous Alpini mountain troops or selected armoured and mechanised brigades. Nevertheless, a player might still feel being under-gunned or lacking in certain aspects, so his armoured, mechanized or infantry force should be always reinforced by strong support assets. This also means a great care should be given to mobility, flanking engagements, and emphasizing maximum use of terrain cover; providing for a challenging and dynamic playstyle. On the other side of the fence was Yugoslavia. Geographically situated between a NATO anvil and the Soviet hammer, the prospect of invasion would permanently dominate Yugoslav strategic plans. Particularly since witnessing the Warsaw Pact intervention in Czechoslovakia in 1968, Yugoslav military doctrine focused on combining its large field army with the guerrilla experience of the Partisans in World War II. In planning, this would entail the armed forces to conduct conventional warfare along a nationwide front, buying time for reserves and the general population to mobilize. Small Territorial Defence units would engage alongside beside regular troops in their local areas, emphasizing mobility and light anti-personnel and anti-armour weapons. Because armament parity with likely opponents, both in quality and quantity, was hard to achieve, Yugoslavs tried to use limited national defense resources in the most efficient way, rarely if ever squandering even the most obsolete weapons. Units in the game, as well the combat tactics, reflects this strategy. Yugoslavia is a very balanced, all-around force that will perform satisfactorily in every field, but might not always excel. Hence a combined arms approach is extremely important when facing technologically superior forces. And while the center of gravity of the Yugoslav Army are infantry formations that are highly varied, logistically undemanding and survivable, armoured and mechanized are certainly capable of making it tough for any adversary.
Ragnarök is coming! The sky is falling and the end is upon you… In Blood Rage, the digital adaptation of the hit strategy board game, you lead a proud Viking clan in their final fight for glory and the right of passage to Valhalla before the world finally comes to its fiery conclusion. Take command of your warriors, pillage villages, make good use of gifts from the gods and conquer your place with Odin in Valhalla. Life is fleeting, but glory is eternal. Now is the time for rage! Created by acclaimed designer Eric Lang (Rising Sun, Arcadia Quest, Chaos in the Old World), Blood Rage lets you lead one of the seven ancient Viking clans: The Wolf, Bear, Serpent, Raven, Ram, Wild Boar and Stag clan. Each with their own unique miniatures of warriors and leaders. In Blood Rage, your goal is to achieve the greatest amount of glory before the end of the third and final age—and the arrival of Ragnarök. Each god is generous in their own way: Frigga provides resources and support, Tyr strengthens your clan in battle while Loki rewards losing battles or punishes the opposing winner. Drafting gifts from a god will determine the strategy you want to implement. Choose your cards wisely or deprive your opponents of precious gifts. For your clan, there are many paths to Glory: • Invade the mythical land of Midgard and its nine provinces, pillaging their villages and the province of Yggdrasil. • Crush other clans in ferocious battles and encounter legendary creatures from Norse mythology. • Fulfill quests in honor of the mighty gods. • Die gloriously in battle or from Ragnarök as any Viking was born to do. • The only losing strategy in Blood Rage is to cower from combat. Earning your place to Valhalla in single-player mode is glorious. Eternal triumph, however, can only be achieved by reaching the top of the leaderboard in ranked online multiplayer. Fight to gain entry to Valhalla: Pillage, fight, sacrifice… Experience a new type of strategy game where victory can only be achieved by commanding your warriors in the field of battle in the face of final doom. Welcome to Midgard: Dozens of 3d scanned miniatures and a dynamic board faithful to the original boardgame. Multi-layered strategy game: Blood Rage mixes draft, hidden cards, resource management and its sheer load of trickery. Plan your strategy but be ready to adapt to your opponents’ choices: winning battles is not always the best course of action.
