Strategy Guide
At the start of the game, it's important that the allies rely focus on the wealthy regions in Belgium to decrease the income of SS Belgium.
The Nazi's gain through mid- and lategame a few powerful Waffen SS-events although have to face the lack in income due to inflation.

No recommended strategies, almost every strategy is viable - except DS, MoS and GW.

● Playing with alts or any other form of trolling isn't allowed;
● Unfair play is prohibited;
● Respect the other players in the game.
● Allycapping is strictly disallowed as SS factions but it is allowed as Allies.

Updates Log

07/21/2020: Map is published;
11/21/2020: Edited income of all factions, as well as starting funds and events mid-/late game.

The map looks so great and the guide is amazing!
Is it even possible to make better map of this scenario?

Hey yeah I noticed there wasn't a scenario for this, I made battle of the bulge if that has any relation but this looks better than mine

11/21/2020: Scenario updates; income of SS factions decreased, income of allies slightly increased, a few mid- and lategame events and 2-3 new units.

Definately interesting map... Looks like you've put a lot of time on it
