German Focus Bypasses

[Hertog van Damme]

I'm trying to get the True Blitzkreig achievement and justifying denies the Danzig Or War/Danzig For Slovakia route, which would help me with france.
If someone could give me a quick way to get the Danzig Or War achievement or tell me why Owning Danzig, Poznan and the wierd state don't bypass that focus, please do it in a nice fashion.

Justify on Belgium
Take it.
Justify on Poland
Take it.
Justify on France (if not already at war)
Take it.

Don't bother with focus. Anschluss, Munich and Fate of Czechoslovakia are the only interesting choices of that tree. The rest is just there to guide the AI.

I'm not sure why they don't start the game with France guaranteeing Belgium, Road to 56 even has it. But yeah, what he said. Or, actually, I'm confused. Are you trying to get two achievements in one go? Because without justifying on anyone you can get Around the Maginot at least by 1938. If manpower on the field is the issue just increase division size and ignore supplies. Poland and France are made of butter. Anyways, taking Belgium is the cheesy strat, however you can always just start off by justifying on france and exploiting the AI and your superior armor / airforce to get through the Maginot.

I tend to prefer to play along with the focuses, but that's just me.

How is the Monarchy tree? Haven't tried it.

What 2 Achievements, I stated 1 achievement and that was True Bltizkrieg

[SpiritualRealist1788]

In that case, you should be able to with focuses alone. But it's up to you.

Now I need to know if Free France needs to capitulate, because I did the achievement requirements, but the game hates me ;-;

Honestly all what i did was manually justifying on Poland and then justifying France while rushing ''Around the Maginot-line'' focus since all of those states are weak early-game, especially France. May helps to manually control tank division to surround enemy divisions.
Keep in mind that going to war this way will bypass the Rhineland so you may want to go for the four-year plan first instead.
And naturally, get Italy involved if only to have France pull away some troops from the frontline.

To complete "Around The Maginot" you need to complete "Danzig For Slovakia" or "Danzig Or Welt"

[kingarthur772]

So don´t make war if you wanna enjoy the Focuses from the Tree. And don´t make War to fast the KI will react, because you can´t hold the new Landscapes with the small and not fully supported German Army.

When you're at war with Poland, you will bypass the ''Danzig or war'' Focus.

I never knew this, thank you

I first take Belgium by naval imvasion (♥♥♥♥ doing it land based)
Then when i build my army up, I declare war on Poland, and lastly,
If I'm not already at war with France, I build up my army in my Belgian puppet, and take Paris and some extra cities
*I'VE DONE THIS TWICE*
