That is the goal and the strength of NATO: the capability for the alliance to operate with different forces from different nations using the same standards and procedures, and to be able to react properly to any type of emergency.” “All this to facilitate the integration of forces. Set against the backdrop of the increasingly crowded Med, NATO is hosting the Dynamic Manta 2020 anti-submarine warfare exercise, bringing together nine nations to combine ASW capabilities from ships, maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters and submarines, and improve their ability to work together to keep these southern European waters safe.ĭynamic Manta was designed “to train, to prepare, to test our ability in a very particular domain, that is the anti-submarine warfare,” Italian Navy Rear Admiral Paolo Fantoni, who commands Standing NATO Maritime Group 2, said ahead of the kickoff of the exercise.

However in my last game it took me about 3 months, the AI acted very smartly by circulating divisions, and actually abandoned much of the Maginot Line and formed a pretty good defensive line behind the Maginot before I could successfully organizer my forces for a blitz offensive. After the two provinces fall, I rush my panzer divisions through the gap, encircle the Maginot, and then just charge the VP's, and I usually encounter minimal resistance outside of major VP's, only significant resistance is in Paris, and France usually falls in about 4-6 weeks. I attack with about 4-6 strong divisions, engineers are usually attached to most of the divisions, and send about 3-5 bomber wings on each province. What I do is simply attack 2 provinces that are plains terrain and are connected to othe rplains provinces. Belgium has too much forests which prevent me from pulling of a successful historic blitz attack. I actually prefer to attack France through the Maginot Line, call me crazy.
