Maginot Line

**Maginot Line** is a limited time stage in Event mode.

## Overview:

### Campaign Background Information:

Built at a cost of billions of francs, the Maginot Line was able to resist a variety of attacks, including both aerial bombardment and large-caliber artillery fire. However, would the German commanders face this fortified defense line directly? Or would they turn their attention to attacking France via the Low Countries? Or did they have other plans?

### Objective:

Normal mode: Hold all of the following locations for as long as possible or for 29 rounds; Amiens, Dijon, Metz, Paris and one unnamed city.

### Generals:

#### Normal Mode:

Player Generals:

* Gamelin
* Leclerc
* Tassigny
* Up to 10 other Generals

Allied Powers Generals:

* De Gaulle
* Leopold
* Winkelman

Axis Powers Generals:

* Bock
* Brauchitsch
* Goring
* Heinz Guderian
* Kesselring
* Kluge
* Manstein
* Rommel
* Rundstedt

### Dialogue:

Start of Mission

* Rundstedt: The resources and military facilities of the Low Countries are a potential hazard to the Empire's expansion plans, so it is essential that we make these territories into Empire land before Britain and France do.
* Bock: Before invading the Soviet Union, the German army must erase all threats to the rest of Western Europe.
* Manstein: The Maginot line may seem indestructible, but that won't stop us from advancing. The Allies have yet to truly understand the strength of the mechanized forces, and our tanks will attack from places the enemy will never expect.

Round 5 Enemy Phase

* Tassigny: The fact that the main force of the German army managed to bypass the Maginot Line and appeared in the Ardennes Forest caught us off guard.
* De Gaulle: We will not be knocked down by this surprise attack. We will take all necessary measures to resolutely resist the German attack until the last moment.

Round 11 Enemy Phase

* Manstein: The attack in the Ardennes Forest seems to be suffering an unusual amount of resistance. We need to change our thinking and strike from many directions!

Round 27 Enemy Phase

* De Gaulle: We've been through too many sufferings, we've lost so many families and friends. But we must not give up. We must keep fighting. Victory is at sight.

## Walkthrough:

Steal Brussels and build a line of bunkers from the sea to the Ardennes mountain. Build rocket forts behind the bunker line if extra firepower is necessary. When the German forces in the North are thinned out, use one or two tank generals to capture Rotterdam and Amsterdam for extra income.

Build extra fortifications on the Maginot line whenever necessary (German close to breaking through, for example). One common tactic to defend is finishing off weak German units like infantry with Fighter to create empty tiles, then immediately placing bunkers on the tiles.

Generally ~80% of forces and generals should stay in the Ardennes, and the rest 20% stays behind the Maginot.
