[ Index: ] [ Pre-invasion: Red Cross ] [ First Stage: Blue, Red, Bright Yellow. ] [ Blue Offensive: With the clearance that we can now make an offensive into the Lowlands, the first of many attacks had begun with standard infantry beginning the push against Dutch forces at the border, this time supported with vast numbers and using their advantage of mobility to move around fortifications, any defensive position is treated as an obstacle and is avoided, hoping to maintain invasion speed and catch defenders off guard, with positions from Dusseldorf and Bremen being used to launch offensives into the Lowlands, as a majority of our forces are oriented at the Netherlands, hoping to sweep the country in a flurry of attacks and repeated offensives, all of which target the military bases and ports of the targeted nations. ] [ Red Offensive(s): With new and experienced veterans from Poland, the Panzer divisions are at their peak, as they are then used to conduct lightning warfare on the weakest points in the Lowlands, as Fort-Eben Emael has been disabled or at least busy fighting the paratroopers, the Panzer forces intend on cleaning up and crush the Belgians, with another offensive in the north sweeping up cities like Groningen and Eindhoven, major cities in the Dutch economy, allowing for our infantry forces to keep their advance going. ] [ Bright Yellow Offensive: The 2nd Motorized is quickly ordered to conduct five simultaneous pronged attacks on French held-Rhineland, and also the Belgian lands, their quick moving columns aiming to drive deep into enemy territory and disperse, working like a virus, entering the body and multiplying, with quick motorized assaults into the Eastern Belgian lands, as well as the north of the French advance. ] [ Second Stage: Green, Orange, Cyan, Gold. ] [ Green Offensive: With the Panzer Divisions and Infantry Armies hopefully connecting into a full-force, the rest of Northern Netherlands is sized, making sure that no Dutch can escape, any POW that is found is quickly sent into rehab centers, which are as sound, they get treatment and are sent to new designated communities across Germany, in this case would be Kleve, as it is a predominantly Dutch community, this is so that the people do not feel down about leaving their homes and will mesh with German society. ] [ Orange Offensive: With more infantry pushes, the rest of the key cities are near, as paratroopers continue their fight for the cities, with Panzer forces and infantry forces converging to overlap and encircle Dutch divisions, then after that the capital Amsterdam is in sight. ] [ Cyan Offensive: With hopeful sights in the Netherlands, Belgium is not spared as the German Wehrmacht continues pushes into central Belgium, cities like Liege are put under siege and Brussels is the main target with Panzer divisions utilizing their armor superiority to advance deeper into Belgian territories. ] [ Gold Offensive: Not much, just a push hoping to push back the French in the North and reach Luxembourg. ]
[ Purple dots are key targets, so cities and ports are common targets. ] [ Blue squares are field armies, which number from 100,000 to 200,000 most are 100,000 lightly trained infantry, as we need numbers more than experience. These consist of newly recruited men and volunteers, as the Dutch aren't that strong and would need one good nudge before they surrender. ] [ Red rectangles are Panzer divisions. Each Division consists of two tank regiments of each being seasoned veterans from the Polish frontier, these Panzer divisions are heavily armed and wise and are thus the spears of our offensive, with most divisions being armed with heavier Panzer 3's and Panzer Iv's, however as reinforcements from Poland arrive, the army group can now begin a real push, this time targeting the weak nations such as the Netherlands and Belgium. ] [ The sole yellow rectangle is a motorized, consisting of light infantry who uses motorcycles and also horses to move around quickly, and their goal at the start is to move as fast as possible and sweep attention to their movements, allowing for the Panzer divisions to follow up and slam into the opposition. ] [ Red Crosses: Strategic Airborne deployment, the Fallschirmjäger are deployed in sparse positions so that they can cover the most distance, each plane is fitted with extra parachutes for everyone to deploy. Then in the cover of night are deployed into the cities, things like mortars and artillery are all provided via towed glider, these gliders are also deployed into Belgium and are sent to target the strategic fortress-chain of Fort Eben-Emael, this would be by some paratroopers, hoping to catch the Belgians off guard by the inactivity on the frontier. From there more paratroopers are sent to cities like Antwerp or Brussels, however expecting heavier resistance, they are order to sabotage strategic areas like railroads or bridges, and also to interrupt the daily lives of Belgians, storm houses, take up barricades and do anything that will keep them in place for a long period of time. ]
