Lithuania\'s strategy is based purely on a defensive doctrine. One of
her strengths is the good generals she has, the low point is the mere 5
IC the game starts with. To build up IC declare war on Estonia and annex
them before they can fight back. Always research Infantry Doctrines to
help the defense or Agrichemistry to build up manpower. One should be
sure to produce an efficient army and build a few land forts and
concentrate them in one province,then when the Soviets attack they will
encircle Vilnius but they won\'t attack it. The Soviets will remain
around Vilnius until the Germans arrive and drive them out. Choose an
efficient Foreign Minister and keep giving Germany rare materials, this
will maintain good relations with Germany and they won\'t annex
Lithuania. If this has worked properly Germany should annex Soviet Union
in three years and Lithuania will be free from aggressors.
