Blitzers are a type of player use most or all of there units to take provinces with little or no protection. How they get the information is either from spies or from other countries, possibly even from one you share your map with (traitors).
What to do:
Set up counter espionage, if you get no results, change all shared maps to right of way, leave coalitions if you have to. Let the enemy blitz through you, then sneak troops past the front lines, set many troops in the way of the blitz, when they get to your troops, they will either fall back or get weakened. After that, pounce on the provinces behind the blitz troops, bombard the them, and send troops to finish them, this leaves the rest of the enemy largely unprotected, and you can easily take them.
Blitzer here (well, not always).
Think about something else - and that is probability. When you have played a few games, you notice certain patterns of player behavior. What do I mean? That players more often than not leave little to no defenses in their provinces if the frontline is far enough.
Call it guestimations, assumptions of Erwin Rommel-esque brilliance and insight. The truth is that this is the reason it pays off.
Yes, they are playing the odds that any given player may not have a strong homeland defense. Sometimes you win, sometimes you may have a tough battle, other times it may back-fire. Often it does pay-off which is why some players will risk it.
huh, almost any good attack is a blitz
the question is "are you reading your opponents properly?" That is one of the main factors of the game.
Yes, good attacks often include blitz attacks. Blitz is speed. To me blitz stacks are stacks of only motorized units.
To me blitz is a sufficient army to move forward in an advantageous way. This often includes slow units, especially artillery.
