Basic explanation of the game the only top tabs you need to care about are focus tree production and constitution and deployment for now
In Construction you have factories Green ones which are mills and Orange factories which are civs this is all you need to care about in construction for now - civs make you build stuff faster and mills give you a better Millitary industry.
In production you have your millitary industry for each mill you have built you can assign 1 to your industry the game starts you of producing equipment so you don’t need to change any of this you just up the values if your able to
Focus tree you click on your flag in the top left and click on the big box this is just what lets your country do political stuff over time the description of the focus tells you what it does which can be seen by clicking on it
In deployment this is how you get extra units you can click train unit to start training units you then assign it to a tile and then once trained and equipped it will deploy
——-
There’s a lot more to this and explaining and learning the game can be tricky and therefore I recommend you watch alot of other people play the game as you learn as it will speed up your process

If you have a surplus of light tanks, or armored cars (La Resistance), you can use them too to lower garrison casualties

alright

In a garrison role, they are decent, but cavalry has higher suppression which means you require less equipment for them

Lastly Bicycle infantry if you have it available also has higher suppression than foot infantry, but cost way more IC for the same suppression value as cavalry

Influence focuses are funny because imagine you're Iran, you can get like 50% communist support within a year without doing communist paths

And then from there it's just a stone's away from becoming communist while, like, having all of the monarchist cores

I am a newish player. Playing Italy. I am trying to plan my first naval invasion. When I set one up I am told I can only send 6 divisions. I thought the base naval invasion capacity is 10.

basically the trade-off is more breakthrough for less terrain bonuses (but you do get more amphibious so they can semi-offset not having marine doctrine)

How do you disguise your army numbers from your enemy

I was playing a multiplayer game and I couldn’t see the number of enemy divisions in each province on the front

#

There was just a question mark

tribal stratus
#

Why is Italy useless for anchluss bro

#

Do I need allies?

#

I tried bro, Italy legit got less than 1% war participation

#

Italy always so unhelpful bro the Italian AI is legit jerking off instead of helping me

narrow bear
#

i always annex italy

tribal stratus

Bro it’s 1938

#

I ain’t doing nothing😭😭

not as austria

#

as germany

#

sorry i read that wrong

tribal stratus
#

nice can someone explain how I actually get some support from a country

#

Because Italian AI

#

Is legit jerking off and I hold off the Germans until sudtenland

#

Also, how do I get the Czechs to accept me annexing them they refused despite high relations and a non aggression pact

narrow bear

did you border

#

them with troops

#

frontline

#

and annex hungary as well

tribal stratus

Nope

#

I got Hungary normally

yea thats fine

tribal stratus

You need to put troops on the border?? That affects it?

narrow bear

yeah and go to decisions

#

and try sending the ultimanium

tribal stratus
#

I should have high relations and the non aggression pact tho right

#

Or no?

#

No non aggression pact, and instead just put troops on the border with high relations?

narrow bear
#

i dont bother

tribal stratus
#

Alright I’ll try that on my next run

for hungary i just spent a ton of political power

Hi, Iam not a pro at the game so I can only do basic micro and division templates, since a few updates sea lion is ultra hard to near impossible.
I usually just cheese the Brit’s by 38 as they had no garrison anywhere but now they absolutely swarm me to death.
Does anyone have tips on how to fast capitulate the UK now?

make sure to maintain an army and force deploy @tribal stratus

also make sure to build airports near channel as soon as u take france

Couldn't you get decent troops up in two years instead of a cheese army?

#

And maybe a better naval invasion tech so you can send more at once

also aim to encircle and once u encircle and they're going to hop onto next port put convoy raiding

so it destroys the troops

I really tried but when I take a port and get a decent breakout they still swarm me with too many divisions

I'd say you need more place to maneuver, so maybe use multiple landing sites?

So should I make a pure defensive Marine template for the distraction?

Also if possible you could build a land fort. They cost only 500 and give +15% defense iirc. And they stack

Hello, I am not THE most experienced player, but how is it even possible to win the start of game Mongol-Japan border skirmish as Mongolia on historical? You don't really have any way to get out of using any other division template but Calvary and 90 days isn't enough to do more than build one fort, adjust battalion count per division, and get the defense army advisor, which is never enough. Is it just not at all possible for Mongolia?

thats fair, you need to start somewhere

9 tanks 9 mechanised

#

motorised is the worst mobile battalion you can use

#

they have very bad terrain modifiers. you can see a battalion's stats by hovering your mouse over the icon and read the tooltip

#

the only skills you need in this game are reading comprehension and basic elementary maths

#

if you cant make mechanised, rush it early game by picking the appropriate bonuses giving research boosts to mech

What's a good doctrine for Finland to use to survive the winter war with just infantry, support arty+AA, and engineers?

scenic nacelle
nocturne cloak
bitter oak
#

Hey, guys

#

In a general hist MP game, does Italy usually build small tank divs to micro or should it simply be inf + specialized inf + air?

bitter oak
# frosty lava What's a good doctrine for Finland to use to survive the winter war with just in...

If you want to be a defensive-focused Finland (assuming this is just a hist Finland gameplay), Go for:

Main Doctrine: Superior Firepower

Infantry subdoctrine: Great War Infantry (pure defensive) or Large Unit Tactics (if you're planning on attack-defense + breakthroughs and good at micro)

Artillery & Combat Support subdoctrine: Field Engineering (great engineer bonuses), or if you're struggling with Soviet tanks, Anti-Tank Frontline (though, you won't be needing this if you're atleast okay with stuff)

Armor subdoctrine: you won't be building tanks anytime soon, but if you are, then you can go for Streamlined Deployment or Armored Infantry Support. Nothing wrong with the two in SP, of course.

Operations subdoctrine: either Grand Assault (for planning offensive bonuses) or Desperate Defense if you need the additional manpower

#

Usually I manage to hold onto Finland with the 10w infantry mixed in with specialized 18-24 w infantry for attacking (cus I find the 36w incredibly expensive, manpower and industry wise)

And yes, support arty + AA + engineers is an already alright support company build

frosty lava
frosty lava
upper basin
#

Yeah I'm curious too

#

I usually take defensive posture for more entrenchment

#

But yeah, there is one problem

#

It also gives mot/mech more entrenchment if I remember correctly, which I obviously didn't need, all of the infantries that I usually use are foot infantry

neat widget
#

Maybe in MP, but not in SP since you should have more defense than they have attack

#

So I'd say you'd do something like individual excellence, irregulars, or assault infantry

we all know that vietnam at the time was a great dustbowl

bitter oak
# frosty lava Just curious, why should I take Great War Infantry over Defensive Postures? Defe...

Forgot about Defensive Postures there. My bad.

Great War infantry is good because it stacks 25% defense on top of support company bonuses (20%+ soft attack with support artillery and alright entrenchment bonuses), especially since I use Field Hospital as well in my divs.

But sure, if you want a strong inf, then Defensive Postures is a great choice. Also provides direct soft attack to infantry on top of strong entrenchment and entrenchment speed bonuses.

pliant condor
#

use assualt infantry or large unit tactic

#

the "entrenchment" you are seeing is is like 0.02 per unit

Anything else in infantry subdoctrine is just dogwater (if you're not a major and not playing in SP anyways...)
