FUUUUUUUUUUUU.....
HOI3, as Germany, I invade Poland, however before DOWing them I sent my Western Theatre infantry corps to their positions on the Siegfried line. Figuring they'd reach it in time before the French realized or would launch any attacks.
Poland goes off without a hitch, so easy in fact that I don't even decide to deploy my panzertruppes. Instead they stay in Central Germany. Lo and behold, as the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler finally walks into Lvov and Poland surrenders, I get a ton of messages about the Western Front being taken over by the French!
I go to see that my infantry for whatever reason have barely moved and that the French have taken position in the Northern Siegfried line..
So I send in my tanks and try to sweet around north and trap them against the Swiss border which eventually works. At first I thought to take it slow, as it was mid September by this point and I didn't know if I could sustain a drive for all of the French VP points. "Ah what the hell", so I immediately VP bitz the french cities with my panzers and what ensues is my panzers capturing almost all points and then the french bursting out of the pockets they were trapped in to take over captured VPs.. (Goddamn infantry generals are going up against a wall..). Finally, after 3 weeks of hunting down French VPs, I get the Vichy events that means France has surrendered. Click yes ---> Immediate CTD.
