Blitzkrieg hard guide, axis 1 The main plan of attack is the Polish city to the east first, than south towards Warsaw. Lastly sweep our forces up to take the last 2 objective cities. Notes -The soviets start off as your allies but as soon as each battlegroup captures the city nearest to them they change to the enemy side -Watch out for the polish commando unit, being in the forrest it packs quite a punch. I took it out mainly using artillery -Between the polish and soviets fighting you might get a chance to paratroop a unit into the city directly north of Warsaw. Capturing this city will give $600. I send some units from my main force to help defend the city but I lost it and had to recapture. You might be able to hold it by building better units or sending a better force to help defend it. -My ally captured the last objective city at the north-eastern edge of the map, if your ally does not than send your own troops there -Its not a bad idea to use air strikes on the soviet generals. -Guderian should help with capturing Warsaw .org/] [/url] .org/] [/url] .org/] [/url] .org/] [/url] .org/] [/url] .org/] [/url]

Is the $600 reward a scripted feature to help players clear this campaign on this difficulty or is it a one-time event only?
Or do capturing cities give money?
Thanks in advance for clearing up my confusion.

Playing Blitzkreig Hard with Leeb as my only gen is not viable. I always get pummelled by advancing Soviets & I can't move against Warsaw to support Guderian in time because of the Polish tanks.
Moreover, without any good arty to use, I can't wipe out the large group of ammassed Soviets & Polish to the East.
Any extra advice or guide? Or do I need another gen to win?

I tried it with just Leeb and its possible I never got a chance to paratroop units into the city north of Warsaw but the plan of taking the first polish city than swinging south to take Warsaw still worked. Than is to go north and take remaining objectives. As you can note from the screenshots I built lot of howitzers

To make this and the other hard European levels a breeze, I recommend that you have max Pacific War tech. If you only have max European tech, you will have the same tech levels as the enemy, and thus it will be harder.

This mission is a nasty surprise to newer players who, after likely not failing its easy mode, are completely wiped out by the soviets. This shows how tough this game can truly be, and I know I personally stayed away from all hard mode missions until I beat the pacific campaigns

Yep. I remember being confident in winning it as I saw the Russians were on my side. I may have been a little surprised when the Russians turned red. My poor little Messe wasn't ready to deal with the Red Army
