Poland - The Lithuanian-Polish War - 17 Jul to 15 Aug 1938
17 Jul 1938: I didn't see this coming - why should I suspect Lithuania to attack Poland? I call Romania to join the war.
Lithuania is hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered but they have the advantage of surprise and our common border isn't guarded.I delete the orders for Army Kawalerii and Reserve Army....
....then add the two Mountain Divisions. two Infantry Divisions in training and 12 Infantry Divisions from Home Army to Reserve Army.
I create frontlines for Army Kawalerii and Reserve Army then plan their objectives.
18 Jul 1938: The divisions of both armies are on their way to the border.
22 Jul 1938: Research has been completed on Improved Basic Tools....
....and I select Anti-Tank Upgrade from SMPA next.
The enemy has captured Vilno but his advances are already being contained. I order attacks towards the Capital Kaunus, Siauliai and Memel.. Both armies have been activated.
Romania requests a non-aggression pact and I agree to it. Our forces have entered Lithuania and are at the gates of Kaunus.
26 Jul 1938: We have complete Air Superiority over Lithuania.
28 Jul 1938: The Fall of Kaunus is imminent.
31 Jul 1938: Lithuania is 46% towards capitulation and has suffered 3K casualties compared to our 171.
04 Aug 1941: Kaunus has been captured and Memel is the new capital.
The 40. Infantry Division has been deployed and is placed in training.
07 Aug 1938: Our forces are approaching Memel from 2 directions....
....and we accept Infantry Equipment per Lend Lease from Romania.
10 Aug 1938: We are closing in on Memel....
....and the enemy is now 79% towards capitulation and has sustained 8K casualties.
12 Aug 1936: Memel is now seriously threatened and in the East I push to regain captured territory.
13 Aug 1938: We have completed research on 1938 Medium Tank Chassis....
....and I select Haubica 100mm wz. 38 St. from SMPA next.
14 Aug 1938: In the South we are advancing all along the whole front.
15 Aug 1938: Lithania has capitulated and we have captured much needed equipment.
I annex all 5 States....
....and Lithania is now part of the Kingdom of Poland.
I transfer 15 Infantry Divisions to Home Army....
....and Reserve Army is again assigned to our border with East Prussia.
Two Infantry Divisions in Reserve Army are sent back to training.
A quick and decisive campaign and I will now be more vigilant. Trust nobody.
