Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov and Darth Nihilus In order to keep up and finish the Baltic campaign with victory as soon as possible, I've launched an assault on Latvia as well. I expect that I defeat both very soon, assuming everything is stable. What about you? How much do you think will it take you to finish? And the other question, what shall we do after that? In our original plan, we were to attack Koenigsberg if a war broke out with Germany. However, Germany has been seemed inactive for days, which I guess may make us change our plans, if we don't want to waste time waiting. Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, Eugene V. DebsI've successfully surrounded Vilnius so it shouldn't be long before Lithuania is finished. Unfortunately one of my gun battalions got destroyed so I'll have to make new ones before I can start a siege. I'll try cleaning up the northern border first and then I'll send my destroyers to Latvia Only for Darth Nihilus and Kliment Jefremovitš VorošilovI see. Also, I have actually already invaded Latvia successfuly and destroyed their army (Estonia has been almost finished as well), so there is no need for a naval attack as there's no enemy any more. Also, would you guys like some support for Lithuania so that you can focus on developing your army and Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov can focus on Italy (or on another front if we decide to attack somewhere else too)? |

I think if you could take Siauliai then France and I could easily siege Vilnius just with our guns and airforce without suffering a lot of casualties |

2nd battle of Trakai: After introducing more tanks to Army Group North, we wish to be able to set up our artillery just outside Vilnius. This will probably cause the defenders to capitulate. Defender bonus: +1 Attacker morale: 5.8 (-0.2 penalty after suffering an ambush during the 1st battle of Trakai) Enemy morale: 4.5 (-1.5 penalty for being surrounded) We have sent 100 000 troops + 300 tanks to attack a settlement held by 10k soldiers, as Lithuania only has about 20k left to defend Vilnius. 
We have easily taken Trakai, and at the cost of only one tank. |

All forces in Corse counterattack. 7 -1 = 7 to win, also the 200 bombers in Marseille launch large scale bombings on the landing force. Meanwhile defences are repaired. NWbvCO8eMy 200 fighters patrolling north of Corsica intercept the bombers and disrupt the raid. I don't think all forces should be able to counterattack. Half your forces are at the south end, a fair distance across rough terrain. If you mean just the northern army, then why -1? I have 500 fighters, they engage with the enemy. Fair enough, but it wasn't much longer than the distance you could cover when defending in the Alps. |

The Lithuanians only have around 45,000 troops in total after Poland's recent offensive. Our whole 175,000 strong army attacks at the direction of Siuliai.

The French government is in war with all the Baltic countries and the army now reduced to 165,000 attacks Jelgava. 5 to win, medium risk. (I'll throw the dices in a seperate post because I've edited this one.) |

The whole French navy will pick up 200,000 from Portugal and transport them to Algiers, from which the other one of the armies will move to the Libyan border along with all 400 tanks in Africa and an army from eastern Morocco. After this, the navy will head to Ajaccio in Corsica. 700 fighters are moved to Marseille to defend the Balearic and Tyrrhenian Sea. A total of 500,000 soldiers, 2 armies from Paris and 1 from Bordeaux, Cherbourg and Brest, are moved to Chamonix. Along them tanks until there are 2500 and 5000 guns are transported too. The other army in Corsica begins digging defences on the southern and eastern coasts while the other starts digging trenches 10 km inland. , I have now 300,000 troops and 400 tanks on the Tunisian-Libyan border. You said you sent 100,000 to the border, but since they were scouting, I think it's fair that they can retreat to the middle point between the border and Tripoli (aroumd Sabratha), and you'll get the army from Tripoli too. Otherwise they'll attack along the coast where I presume your army is too. |

I've been thinking about invading Turkey too, although I can't commit more than half a million troops right now. Also, irl Turkey supplied Germany coal, so that would be logical. As for Finland, France can't, directly atleast, support the invasion of such a large democracy, but I'm not against it, after all they are vulnerable to falling into Germany's sphere of influence.
Also, if you don't mind, I'll move all but 100,000 soldiers to fight in Portugal, for which I'd request either one of you to escort them to Caen, while my navy is engaged elsewhere. Only for Eugene V. Debs , Darth Nihilus |

I've always fought the whole Lithuanian army at once, but now that the country is divided in three, I think it's fair to say that from the <30,000 remaining about 10,000 are in the north and 20,000 in Vilnius.
Attacking the remnants of the Lithuanian army in north with 35,000 soldiers. 4 to win, medium risk.

Much of the casualties, especially towards the end are probably not deaths, but soldiers being captured. I'd say 3 to win because of morale factors. xvp4posc· |
