Extended data
Depth importance
A country with depth has a larger buffer zone against the enemy than a country without depth. The larger buffer zone gives the country more time to wake up from the panic and start planning a more far-sighted strategy after losing the first confrontation, rather than just defending or counterattacking.
In the case that the defense was initially defeated by the enemy's active aggression, if the enemy allowed the mobile troops to break through the front line in the form of blitzkrieg and quickly penetrate strategic locations, countries without a certain depth would soon be at a disadvantage in strategic mobility. This will make it more difficult to fight back and even abort.
