BlitzKrieg - Scenario Belgium
Any idea how you can make it south to take Luxembourg in 2 turns? Cannot figure out how to get my airborne troops to start in aircraft which I assume is the only way.

You can put a tank to the southernmost point where you can deploy in the forest. Luxembourg is undefended so you don't need airborne for that. Use the airborne for Fort Eben Emael!

That's what I did but I end up one tile away from the most eastern white flag...my tanks have 4 movement points only! What's your magic?

Ok. I did it before the newest Panzerkrieg DLC and it worked back then with a tank. They reworked some features on armoured vehicles in Panzerkrieg and also regarding roads.

So I tested it myself again and you are right, it can no longer be taken in 2 turns with a tank.However I managed to take it twice on turn 2 with an infantry on the southernmost deployment spot. Just to be extra sure place there an infantry with trucks or apc. In both my cases they took Luxembourg without them needing the truck/apc movement. So the objective should still be possible.

This is the oddest thing, I occcupy Luxembourg during the second turn using recon units placed at the southern portion of setup. However I still get a message at turn 3 that I failed to occupy Luxembout. It shows the Bug red arrow for the objective location with my unit on that hex and the one next to it on the airfield, but the objective shows as failed. Is this a bug? I have patched to the most recent version. Thanks!

Recon units cannot capture cities in OOB. That is a Panzer Corps feature.

Infantry in trucks was the way to go. Also went back, figured out how to load airborne troops at the deployment phase, and was able to accomplish it that way as well.

I have made it with paratroopers by foot, because they can march really far (6 boots) and fast!
As support Troops I used pioneers (engineers) in trucks and 1 regular and 1 heavy infantry in Lorries or better in halftracks.
To make the winning Point, you must take the Bridge in the middle of the town.
After securing the area (and smashing down the french counter attack), my para troopers left the town from the air field ! The others marched in direction West and captured the first french town.
After then they marched through the woods in direction of Revan to reach the End of the Ardennes -> Rethel and Signy le Petit. There are waiting some Infantry and heavy tank units!
