Entire Offensive: First we'd bombard enemy airfields and aircraft hangars, trying to destroy as much of the enemy air force as possible before we attack. We'd also send sabotage groups across the border to mess with enemy communications. Strategic bombers destroy enemy military bases and troop concentrations. We'd use the deep battle strategy, probing for weaknesses and then using tanks and breakthrough tactics to pierce through enemy lines. We'd also use Maskirovka to hide our troop buildup before the war, and during the war to confuse the Polish about where we will attack. This is all before phase 1. Before phase 2, we'd send paratroopers and order them to hold for 3 days while we move our soldiers to prepare to cross the river. After 3 days we'd attack to secure the bridges across the Vistula, and if any were destroyed still we'd quickly send engineers to rebuild them. Red = Northern Offensive: The Northern Offensive will be manned by 220,000 soldiers. They will have 800 tanks. The goal of the offensive is to encircle and destroy Poland's northern armies, and so we can redirect our forces to help out other armies. This offensive should be easiest as this is the weakest Polish defense force, and has no major fortresses. Green: = Central Offensive: This offensive will have 360,000 soldiers, and 2,100 tanks. The goal of the offensive is to encircle enemy forces around Br*st Fortress to stop enemies from fortifying the Vistula river, and to quickly eliminate the supply of the fortress. As the enemies have the strongest defense here, we use the most forces. Yellow = Southern Offensive: This front will field 280,000 soldiers, and 1,800 tanks. This front has more soldiers than the Northern Offensive due to the rough terrain. The goal of the offensive is to encircle Lwow, and support the flanks of the central offensive. The offensive will settle on the Vistula. Orange = Warsaw Offensive: After stage 1 of the offensive, the first crossing of the Vistula will begin. The goal is to use as much soldiers from Red, Green, and Yellow armies, as they don't need that many soldiers to defend the Vistula river. We'd also divert most of our close air support and air superiority fighters. The goal of the offensive is to encircle Warsaw. Blue = Paratrooper Operation: Before ground forces cross the Vistula, cas and fighters will bomb and strafe anti air. Artillery will also bombard smoke on enemy defensive positions, temporarily blinding them. Then our paratroopers will drop on bridges and river crossings on the Vistula.
The offensive is code-named "Ulaanbataar" Stage 1: Red, Green, Yellow Stage 2: Orange, Blue
