Fall Gelb

## Overview

"In an effort to annihilate France, the Command sets Paris, the French capital, as the ultimate goal of this battle. The French have built the strong Maginot line, which is the biggest obstacle to our invasion. But as long as we bypass it, the French defense will become useless." - Heinz Guderian

### Normal mode:

Your units will start east of Belgium, sandwiched by your allies to the north and south. There isn't necessarily a general strategy needed for this level as it is rather easy, but push Belgium along with your allies, then bypass the Maginot line in order to attack Paris from the north. You may also need to provide some support to the German units in the north in order to help them take the northwestern city.

### Hardmode:

You have to go through the Maginot line, go around the bunkers and attack the city behind it. Attack Paris from the south and by this time, your allies should have taken the northern city.

## Mission level is based on:

This mission is based on Operation Fall Gelb/the Manstein plan, Manstein's plan to blitz and defeat the French.
