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.
