Blitz Ablility?
What exactly is the blitz ability? I noticed in the editor that several units have it, but I haven't figured out what it does.

A unit with the 'blitz' ability may attack as many times as it can move a la Civ2.Making the Civ-world a better place (and working up to King) one post at a time.... -
-Thus it simulates the German "blitz" attack tactic for their tanks in World War II- and allows civ to act at a deeper level than it had in the original.
A very good feeature if I do so mystelf.-->Visit CGN!

Does anybody know if you, say .. attack twice in one turn, if you can get two status upgrades? One attack and you're a veteran, then another and you're elite?
I'm just wondering the mechanics of the blitz ... does it count as two attacks in every form, or just as one big attack for experience reasons ...

am i missing something. none of my units have blitz ability. in fact, once i enter an enemies territory my units are only able to move one square at a time(that includes on roads or rails). i assume this is intended, although i have not found an explanation in the rules.Comment

maybe on the panzer has it?Comment

Units with more than one move (horsemen through modern armor) should be able to move two or more squares in enemy territory, as long as it's grasslands/plains, and not forest/hills/mountain.Originally posted by annoyed

Only tanks have it (Tank, Panzer, and Modern Armor).DarkMatter
As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.

having played a few more games, I have found that the one square movement happens sporadically, which means a bug is the culprit, adding to other small but increasingly annoying bugs.Comment

Tanks can attack twice a turn, but in one of Firaxis' brilliant decisions, when attacking a stack and winning, driving back to the square it came from counts as a move. Therefore, a tank attacking a stack and winning will drive back to its originating square and stop (one move to attack, one move to drive back). If a tank attacks a lone unit and wins, it will proceed into the newly vacated square and be able to attack again.
