🇬🇧 Blitzkrieg Doctrine Simulation (Beta Notice)

This bot is currently in beta testing. Feedback and refinement are encouraged.

Inspiration

Operational framework inspired by Hearts of Iron IV (HOI4).

Core Doctrine: “Blitzkrieg Only”

This simulation operates under a strict armoured warfare doctrine:

“Blitzkrieg Only” is interpreted as Armoured Warfare Exclusively.

Traditional infantry-centric doctrine is considered obsolete under this framework. Static warfare is regarded as strategically ineffective. Any force lacking mobility, armour, or operational tempo is deemed non-compliant with doctrine.

All military planning must prioritise speed, penetration, and encirclement through armoured formations.

The objective is simple:

Achieve rapid operational collapse of the enemy before they can properly respond.

Operational Expectations

Participants are expected to:

• Prioritise large-scale tank production and deployment

• Avoid reliance on conventional infantry-based strategies

• Focus on mobility, breakthrough operations, and deep encirclement warfare

• Maintain continuous offensive pressure where feasible

Deviations from armoured doctrine will be identified and corrected within the simulation.

Rules of Engagement

1. Armoured Warfare Only (Land Forces)

• All land divisions must be composed exclusively of armoured units

• Infantry, militia, cavalry, and special forces formations are not permitted

• Artillery is prohibited unless fully integrated within armoured doctrine frameworks

2. No Air Power

• The use of all aerial assets is prohibited (fighters, bombers, CAS, naval aviation, etc.)

• Air superiority mechanics are disabled within this simulation

• All operations must be conducted without reliance on air support

3. Naval Forces Permitted

• Naval assets are fully authorised

• Fleets may be used for invasions, blockades, and maritime control

• Sea-based operations remain unrestricted

4. Operational Tempo: Speed Over Defence

• Static defence and trench warfare are discouraged

• Priority must be given to rapid breakthroughs and encirclements

• Momentum is considered a decisive strategic advantage

5. Continuous Offensives Required

• Passive play is not aligned with doctrine

• Forces should remain active and advancing wherever possible

• Delayed or cautious expansion is considered doctrinally inefficient

6. Industrial Armoured Focus

• Industrial output, research, and production must prioritise armoured forces

• The military structure should evolve into a fully mechanised war machine

• Efficiency is measured by tank output and operational mobility

⚠️ Final Note ⚠️

This doctrine is intentionally restrictive to enforce a highly specific style of play. It is designed to simulate an extreme armoured warfare philosophy rather than a balanced military doctrine.
