good point. but true, he will get belgium.
But will there be a French surrender? Germany doesn't hold Paris.sonsoftaurus said:But will he get to keep it, or will it revert to Germany upon the French surrender?

Since Germany doesn't have Paris, I'll have to make my own surrender terms with the french. I'll have to use acceptall though to make it happen.
You can just remake the Vichy event so that it fires when netherlands holds Paris and so that France cedes all teirritory to you.

Situation in 20th March, 1940.

After some counter attacks by the French on Dunkirk. The French were attacked from the south, making their pocket smaller.
The French didn't sit in their trenches waiting for the German and Dutch Panzers to roll over them. on 30th march midnight, the French attempted to escape the pocket.....and failed.
The French pocket as of 7th of April.
April 15.
France defeated, April 16th.
notice that the Germans got their hands on naval bases on the mid-sea.
After the defeat of France, our priorities shifted to increase our economy outcome. That task wasn't easy, given the continues strategic bombing of the RAF. Our defense ministry completed a deal with the Germans to buy their most advanced Interceptors, the Bf 109.
In the east, news of friendly-axis empire of Japan reached Europe.
Japan achieve victory over the chines.

It wasn't me who did it. I was orgnizing my armies in France, when I saw Germany have landed troops in southern England.Maj. von Mauser said:
Germany Sealion
At the dawn of may, the 20th. The world attention was altered from occupied France, to southern England. Reports of a German invasion of the British Isles was reaching the world.
The Netherlands received intel from the Germans allies about this invasion the previous night only. The initial landing force consist of 2 Korps totaling 3 divisions (2inf, 1 HQ) forming the 9th Armee.
Germans landing in Portsmouth.
Germans Plan for the Invasion.
The Germans fleets for both the 16th and 6th armies were spotted by the RL. Therefore the Germans had to delay their landings.
The German 9th Armee was left alone.
Tauchpanzer III, German diving tanks that were used at the invasion.
After the failing of landing both the 16th and 6th Armee. The OKH (Oberkommando des Heeres) Germany's Army High Command. Requested immediate support for the German 9th Armee.
The Netherlands high command decided to send an expeditionary force of 4 divisions (1 Pz, 1 HQ, 1 mot and 1 Inf). This force was to arrive in the 22nd.
Before reaching the German Beachhead, news arrived that the Germans forces there were totally routed, and they were surrendering at mass. The only fight was at the beaches it self. Where German troops were fighting a last stand battle in hope for reinforcements to arrive.....and arrive they did.
Our troops arriving after the Germans divisions surrendered, greeted with a British assault.
Germans troops surrender to the British counter attack in Portsmouth.
After 5 hours of heavy fighting, the beachhead was secured again and supplies were being unloaded.
After the securing of the beachhead, the Dutch high command was discussing to withdrew back to France. But Germans promises to send support as soon as possible and the possibility of defeating the British and eliminate all their bombing raids on our cities ( 50% damage to our industry production) changed our minds. and instead, full mobilization for our armies and preparation to send more and more troops to the invasion of the British Isles was made.
By the 3rd of June, our armies assembled a total of 11 divisions, facing them 8 dug-in British divisions. Our HQ decided not to wait for promised Germans support and instead start a new operation to encircle the 3 Brt Divisions at Plymouth.
The Plan for expanding the beachhead.
The battles went according to the plan and on the 4th the attack on the encircled troops began.
British troops attacked at Plymouth, their defenses lasted for 2 days before surrendering.
a blown up bunker by a tank round.
Although the troops morale was high after the success on defeating the British, our HQ was worried as the Germans promised supplies and reinforcements didn't arrive. The supply situation was getting worse by the day, and our armies were running out of ammunition.
Supply situation as 4th of June.

Yes they did. Its the first time they do it in one of my games I think. Although as you saw, it failed since the 3 landing divisions were killed by the british.KuzuX said:did AI do Seelöwe?!?!?!
I wanted to give france all of the south. But I thought I'll leave some incase relations with Spain went bad in the futureJushu said:
Nice job saving that beachhead in time, hopefully it will be Dutch who capture London, not German.
Also give your German AI buddy a cookie for actually going ahead with Seelowe, that is the first time I've heard the AI ever do that.

The Defeat of the Empire
Heinkel 111 dropping its bombs over London.
The supplies difficulties had its effect on the Dutch army operations in southern England. The attack on London had to be delayed for a week. Which give the British a chance to reorganize after their defeat in Plymouth.
In the 9th of June, the British started their attack on the dutch advanced elements of the army in Bristol. The attack didn't achieve its objects, but it halted the Dutch operations in the area for few days.
French Renault R-35 tank, part of some of the French forces that escaped France and refused to surrender.
After recovering from the British attack, on the morning of the 11th, Dutch artillery opened fire on the British defenses west of London.
The attack on London with 5 Inf divisions.
Surprisingly, the British defenses in London wear very weak. A few Militia divisions war all that faced the dutch armies.
More troops are sent after the victory in London.
The plan after taking London was to advance North-east, into Norwich and cut off the British defenses in Dover. Basically, taking all of the RN bases in the British Channel.
Everything went according to the plans, and on the 15th, the attack on Dover begun.
Our Dutch forces holding their ground and facing supplied difficulties, while the battle for Dover was fought.
British destroy their ships before they were captured by the advancing Dutch and German armies.
Although facing alot of supplies difficulties, the Advance to North of England continued without any real resistance. More Germans troops were arriving as well. British also lost control over N. Ireland when the Germans attacked the undefended provinces.
General situation by the end of June.
