ok, im not afraid to admit it. i've stopped posting for a while because of an awesome game called blitzkrieg. has anyone else played it?

I myself discovered this game earlier this year, and my HLP attendance fell off sharply. I couldn't stop playing the game and was almost late for work sometimes. I was so addicted that I even forced myself to give it up for Lent this year. That said, even though I wasn't playing it, I was still addicted and spent
of time reading up on the various vehicles and weapons used in the game, which took up the period of lent quite well. Only recently, after completing all 3 campaigns included and part way through replaying them, have I returned to lurking here, and now posting.
I found the game in the discount games bin at my local Wal-Mart for $8.77 (can.). While I am slowly returning to FS, there is a threat on the horizon. There are in fact several stand-alone expansion games for the first Blitzkrieg, as well as a Blitzkrieg2 with its own small pool of expansions. Fortunately for my HLP attendance, they are hard to find, but Blitzkrieg has its own moding community which rivals FS in size.
