Strategy[]

World War 2[]

The Axis Route[]

If you wish to join WW2 on the side of The Axis, immediately get relations up with Flag of Nazi Germany Germany in order to get an alliance. The Germans might even send you an alliance offer within the 1st week of WW2 because they need allies to help them with the war. Alternatively, you could fast forward to June 10, 1940, the date that Italy Italy officially entered WW2. Modern France The French are very weak at that starting date so you should have no problem in finishing off the baguette

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Axis Route strategy will be based on the 1939 WW2 start, not the June 10, 1940 start.

The French Campaign[]

Once in the war, move your regiments up towards the Savoy region. With your regiments stationed in the Alpine Mountains, Modern France France will take heavy casualties trying to defeat your soldiers. By splitting France's attention in half, Germany Germany will be winning battles and gaining ground into Modern France France; fighting this two front war will be too much for France to handle. Once Paris falls to the Axis, it's over for France in Europe.

The North African Campaign[]

Modern France France and Great Britain Great Britain will have troops stationed in Africa, so following the Fall of France, you should move a big chunk of your troops into North Africa.
