Blitzkrieg Bop

Well, our Argentine Recon Mission was a success, we gathered a sufficient amount of intelligence on Argentina and surrounding countries.
Since then, I have been studying on the art of blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg, essentially, is the use of powerful, heavily armored tanks to break an enemy line, then rushing in with light tanks and infantry to effectively wipe out the enemy forces. However, this tactic relies on a thin spread of enemy tanks, for a large attacking tank force can take out individual tanks with ease, but two tank divisions against each other is trouble. This is why blitzkrieg worked in the invasion of Poland and France and not in Soviet Russia.
A problem presents itself in using blitzkrieg, it requires a vast amount of tanks and infantry, not to mention an air force for supporting fire and bombing runs. However, if these resources are available, blitzkrieg is a dangerous force against those whom are tank-less.
