Low Countries (last turn’s turn)

INDEONESIA

-After seizing the German islands of Caroline, Marshall Islands, and Nauru, as well as southern Philippines, we set our sights on the uninhabited American islands in the Pacific such as Wake, Baker, and Johnston Atolls.

-Continue to send support and supplies to the Netherlands and the Belgian armies.

NETHERLANDS

-A long line of very secure defenses are built along the western shores of the IJssel River, the Pannerdens Canal, Waal River, down the Nieuwe Merwede to the Hollands Diep then out to the sea via the Haringvliet. From there on both sides, the Dutch navy extends a blockade out 50 miles into the ocean to secure safety. All crossing points along the entire stretch are destroyed, meaning the Germans will have to cross the wide, filthy, muddy, deep river, then climb up past our though defenses if 5hey even want a chance at getting into the heartland of the Netherlands.

-To change the flow of water across the border, hundreds of dams are methodically created or destroyed so in some places the river is completely drained and all that is left is mud 20 feet deep, while in other places fast-moving water washes invading troops away.

-After investing more money into the military equipment, the Dutch Air Force sets off, blowing Germans and Danubians clear out of the trenches. Supply lines are also targeted, and bombs are dropped over makeshift Danubian camps.

-Take advantage of the flamethrowers sent from Switzerland to torch Central Powers troops. Very effective on Jagdkommandos.

BELGIUM

-After the Battle of Antwerp, many Belgian, British, Portuguese, Scandinavian, Asian, and French soldiers escaped into occupied Belgium. Regrouping in Ghent and Sint-Niklaas, both of which were mostly spared from war, they dispers and attempt to start uprisings in Ghent, Mechelen, Bruges, Turnhout, and Leuven. Although largely ineffective, the riots spread to other small towns and cities resulting in civilians and other everyday people rising up against the Germans, kicking them out of towns, stealing their weapons and using them on the soldiers, and providing a large enough distraction for the Germans to have to pull some troops off of the front lines.

-Riots spread south, and Liège, Namur, Mons, and Verviers, among others, soon have large pockets of rebellion and anti-German protests. Brussels is mainly avoided due to the tight German security there and the complete devastation of the city.

LUXEMBOURG

-Luxembourgish rebels gain complete control of Luxembourg City and continue to cause chaos in the German ranks by throwing bombs into camps, stealing supplies, and just overall being annoying.

-The Luxembourgish rebels are vastly growing in numbers, expanding their ranks to teenagers as young as 12, veterans as old as 60, and include women and girls. After a successful raid on a supply bunker, the rebels begin expanding and invading towards Esch-sur-Alzette.

CONGO

-Continue to recruit soldiers from Congo and Cameroon to send to Europe and fight the Germans

DIPLOMACY, TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE

-Planes, guns, tanks, ammo, boats, soldiers, defenses...

-Dutch nationalism is at an all-time high.

-As the Germans approach Rotterdam, civilians are given a choice: flee for your own safety, or stay and contribute to the fight. Many choose to stay, and the Central Netherlands is filled with soldiers and war.

-The first Dutch aircraft carrier, the HMDS Queen Wilhelmina, is sent to support the British blockade in the north. On its first run it successfully manages to take down an American ship carrying soldiers and equipment to Scotland.

-Though food is running low, imported food from Japan, Asia, Congo, the Netherlands, and other allies helps keep us running.
