Third Reich tip: 1939 landslide

I have worked out an opening for 3R (playing as Axis obviously) which gets Germany the Low Countries, and France as well as Poland by the end of 1939 providing a huge BRP boost for 1940. Don't use the panzers in Poland. Using infantry (4 * 3-3s) and airpower (7 points), Poland can be taken in two turns (Fall and Winter). Use the Panzers and the remaining forces to overrun Belgium, Holland and Lux in fall with a panzer breakthrough to the seine (the hex north of Paris) with 4 panzer units. In winter, take Paris with 2 panzer using the other 2 (exploitation movement) to spread out and stop the French recapture. Also keeping 2 points of airpower for DAS. They almost never retake Paris. Even a bad result such an exchange (in which you lose your 2 panzer) means that France falls.

Spring 1940, whacks of extra BRPs and German forces on the channel ...
