Blitzkrieg (Scenario)

## Overview

"The Supreme Command has decided to launch an attack on Poland. The Command orders you to lead your army to break through the border of Poland at the fastest speed. We are looking forward to hearing from your victory." - Heinz Guderian

Blitzkrieg is the first level playable after the tutorial on the Axis Powers side of the European Theatre in World Conqueror 4. Blitzkrieg was a strategy used by Nazi Germany in WW2. This mission is followed by Operation Weserübung, the German invasion of Denmark and Norway.

The objective is to take over Warsaw and 2 unnamed cities, 1 above Warsaw and 1 in the NE within 24 turns, However, focus on Warsaw while making your way to the NE because it will be likely be taken by the Soviets, who will then betray you. (Hard)

## Walkthrough:

The starting positions are shown on the right in the picture.

### Normal mode:

Put Messe (if you have him) on the 2 stack light tank, and you can focus on taking the northern city if you want to get the Blitzkrieg skill for your generals. However, if you don't need to, you can send him south to help Guderian. This mission is very easy, and you will likely complete it in 5-10 turns.

### No Generals:

This mission is very easy that the AI would beat it for you.

1. Push to get the City north of Warsaw so that you can get the Blitzkrieg Skill before the AI gets Warsaw.
2. When you got the City, it's up to you if you exert effort to go to Warsaw or not. (Rundstedt and Guderian are beast themselves that Smigly, the Polish General can't do anything.)

And... Done! Easy Peasy

### Hard mode:

First, try to take the city with the airfield as it will help you significantly. Second, take Warsaw and then send paratrooper in the soviet occupied cities as they are usually empty. If your paratrooper tech is not good enough, just send a few units and they should be able to take the cities. Be wary though, as failure to complete the mission quickly will have the Soviets turn on you and you will have to fight against 2 countries.

#### Without generals:

Pretty much the same; it may be a bit harder to take Warsaw.

### Point needed to be occupied to unlock skills:

- In Normal mode, taking the city north of Warsaw will unlock the Blitzkrieg skill.

## Mission level is based on:

The German invasion of Poland. The strategic plan was called as Fall Weiß.
