The French will keep trying to give up, so just kick them around until you have those coastal cities and Paris in hand. Nazaire on the coast, as these will give your naval units easy access to safe ports for repairs, as well as allow you to build new ones. Make sure to watch the coast, and destroy the Allied forces that are present between Amsterdam and Paris (this is the British Expeditionary Force IRL) before they can get organized. All you have to do is not lose.Īfter seizing Amsterdam from the Neutrals, gather your forces and smash through the French lines. You start the scenario with your side absolutely winning the war, with most of mainland Europe already under your control. So many boats are waiting for them that without the tough-as-nails convoy system the Allies devised, no aid whatsoever is ever getting across the Atlantic to aid embattled Britain.

But even there, good news awaits: the Atlantic Ocean is filled with Axis U-boats, and the Allied AI is never going to do better than sending piecemeal handfuls or ships out in an attempt to get to Britain. So the only bad news for the Axis at the start is, somehow, the Americans decided to show up for the war on time. The Allies include both Britain and the United States, which has two massive cities (New York and Washington) on the far side of the Atlantic. They will never surrender or negotiate, save for the occasional contact where they will open dialogue and inform you they will never surrender or negotiate. Going by special rules for the World War II scenario, they will go on to the end, they shall not lag or fail, they will defend their island, whatever the cost may be. The Allies, led by Winston Churchill, are a different matter entirely. The Neutrals and French are poorly-armed, weak-willed, and guaranteed to surrender quickly. They have finally decided to act, but their military forces are not ready. After spending nearly all of the 1930s standing by and doing nothing as you rose to power in Germany and annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia, the British and French have at last declared war over the invasion of Poland. After spending years preparing your growing Wehrmacht for war, you have conquered your hated foe, Poland, and defeated the meddling British as they tried to stop your forces from overrunning Norway. As Chancellor Adolf Hitler, you begin the scenario in June 1940. The Axis is far and away the easiest civilization to play as in Civilization II's World War II scenario.
