[obtuse lodge]

which division is better?

[bronze mango]

2

[stoic halo]

second one

[obtuse lodge]

why?

[stoic halo]

because of the artillery

personally id even add another one ngl

[obtuse lodge]

aight. would it be goor or bad to keep the inf and add artillery?

[stoic halo]

good

[obtuse lodge]

should i do that?

[stoic halo]

i would

[stoic halo]

how

[obtuse lodge]

as japan? would i be able to afford it?

[lapis snow]

3 width, reduce HP and org, terrain penalties, out stripped in soft attack by the time you have doctrines and gun 2

it's fine for the first year/bad tech

after that it falls off hard

adding tanks to inf is better than arty

making proper divs is even better

[obtuse lodge]

what would a proper div be?

[lapis snow]

see the pins in #ask-for-help-here

[bronze mango]

Do not add the line artillery, not worth the price, although the rest of the template is peak

[obtuse lodge]

ah aight. should i change it at all? or keep with this one?

[cosmic snow]

Hi everyone

[lapis snow]

I mean in this instance the player is japan, so it almost doesn't matter since china has absolute crap

[obtuse lodge]

why is width bad?

[cosmic snow]

Not a very welcoming server

[olive smelt]

Hello

[bronze mango]

Get rid of the last 3 line infantry and it's better

[lapis snow]

width isn't bad per se. But stats on a battalion have to be considered on a per-width basis. Arty is 3, most others are 2, so the soft attack looks good until combat happens and the width causes it to be 66% of the paper stat

[fallen vigil]

guys is this a good 1940 fighter design?

[lapis snow]

ye

[bronze mango]

I'd say so

[obtuse lodge]

so do i just keep the div with all the infantry? i have infantry eq. deficit too

[olive oxide]

@mod mod mod

I need to report

[olive smelt]

Why

[bronze mango]

Get rid of the last 3 infantry, make it 9 infantry

[olive oxide]

I'm them/they and someone was calling me she/him

Just a troll

[obtuse lodge]

wont it be weak?

[bronze mango]

Tough question. Ostensibly one would appear to agree with such a statement, however, factoring in variating pros and cons of such an endeavour, one must rule against it.

probably your starting hohei shidans

Not the rest

The rest can just be 6 infantry batallions

They just need to hokd

Hold*

[obtuse lodge]

will they be able to hold my front lines or will they be too weak?

[heavy vigil]

China doesnt have any strong attacks

Its fine

They hold fine regardless of who youre facing tbh

[obtuse lodge]

what about for allies after

[heavy vigil]

Still fine

But thats for the future

[obtuse lodge]

ye

[heavy vigil]

Finishing your doctrines is a bigger priority

Do you want a full japan guide?

Ita a bit dated but should be fine

[obtuse lodge]

sure

[coarse trail]

Collabs, marines, overwhelm china with naval invasions

That's what i do

[obtuse lodge]

what makes it dated

[heavy vigil]

Its for AAT

So before facilities and stuff

You want a land facility on the state left of tokyo

[obtuse lodge]

whats that

[olive oxide]

No

[obtuse lodge]

ahh aight

i have this many of these divs with 2 in training is that good? or what should i do with them

[woeful sail]

Hi, I play HOI4 on a with an M1 (arm). Sometimes it's quite laggy. Is an update with an arm-native build of the game planned?

[heavy vigil]

I wouldnt even do support arty tbh

Since youre consolidating it into a few offensive divs

But yeah if you follow the guide its also good

[obtuse lodge]

aight

should i make more of your div? or is this enough

[heavy vigil]

Its fine

Any amount is fine

[heavy vigil]

Dont waste too much xp

Youve already wasted a LOT

[obtuse lodge]

wont the marines be too weak?

[heavy vigil]

Then dont use them

[obtuse lodge]

but they can push rivers and do naval invasion?

[heavy vigil]

Normal units can do that too

Especially with air

[obtuse lodge]

aight

isnt that pretty bad?

[high cosmos]

not really accounting for air support it should even it out

or even be better if you have alot of cas

[obtuse lodge]

dont rlly have much

yet at least

[high cosmos]

what country you playing

[obtuse lodge]

plus last time the marines were super useful to push rivers

japan

[cerulean orchid]

[fallen vigil]

guys how tf do i invade the uk im struggling with them everywhere is garrisoned...

[cerulean orchid]

if u still have a navy try destroying theirs then convoy raiding around britian and cas and bombers

also you could try to get nukes

or actually invading a different area like hull works

[coarse trail]

paradrop, naval invasions into the north aswell

[fallen vigil]

chat serious question why do i have to wait so long for my shit to repair

[high cosmos]

because it takes a long time to repair a battleship

just use a backup navy

Should I Sealion the UK or should i just immidiately do barb

[obtuse lodge]

ah

[sharp sierra]

well u should probably take out uk first but i think its funner to fight the uk and usa after u killed soviets

gives you more time and factories to play with navy etc

[warped flint]

I will probably just go for soviets ngl

[obtuse lodge]

also, something really weird happened. does that just happen?

[hoary mortar]

how goes it

[cedar lance]

im doing good hbu

[feral lark]

you think i'll be able to finish the world conquest before the korean war ends?

[hoary mortar]

pretty good rn

[magic pecan]

soviets killed 9k of my troops , i killed almost 400k

[hoary mortar]

Hmm, maybe! I mena my eyes slightly hurt from the red

[opal nymph]

If it is 1950, probably not

[feral lark]

hey, what other color would The Empire be besides red?

[hoary mortar]

Russians be like:

[feral lark]

....it's april 1959

[hoary mortar]

fair point, it is the best color for empires

[opal nymph]

Well Korean War ended in 1953

[feral lark]

what

[opal nymph]

So

[feral lark]

i thought it was 60s

[opal nymph]

Nope

[feral lark]

oh i am SO screwed

[opal nymph]

Ceasefire signed 1953

[feral lark]

sure enough. i don't know why i was thinking 60s.

[opal nymph]

Because the war is still technically happening

Technically

There were a few flare ups now and then

[feral lark]

...i did not do this. i guess one of my subjects must have? because i'm basically AFK waiting for PP

[wicked swift]

im going for this achievement rn

[magic pecan]

w

[feral lark]

i'm going for the british world conquest one, and will also get the fascist world conquest one at the same time

[craggy trail]

So long as you have a rail connection on states owned by you or one of your subjects, you'll get the achievement

[wicked swift]

doing unhistorical bc um i dont wanna suffer for 9years but theres a chance they dont have a civil war still

but its fine

[feral lark]

interesting. i mean, i'm not complaining, i was just surprised when it popped

[wicked swift]

im taking comunism bc of the weekly 420manpower

ok mb 400

[feral lark]

why are there so freaking many world conquest achievements, when it's so freaking painful to do

[wicked swift]

praying soviet union has a civil war

supply is gonna be so cooked

[hoary mortar]

yess

now gn and goodlcuk with hoi4 fellas

[feral lark]

you're doing nonhistorical? they will.

[wicked swift]

thats when i strike them

W

[heavy vigil]

the US is scary

[opal nymph]

Hasn't the US gotten better at building up so you cant easily roll them pre 1940?

[digital aurora]

Oh god, rolling the US in 1950 is gonna be hard

[opal nymph]

Ahistorical/ R56 baltics in a nutshell

[heavy vigil]

wdym

thats not the issue

[wicked swift]

exactly

[opal nymph]

Just asking random question

[heavy vigil]

im playing sheeps and they have +50% stats

modifier

country

[opal nymph]

Oh dang

[wicked swift]

germany didnt even do a civil war though

[opal nymph]

Terrifying

[heavy vigil]

sorry cant post that

i forgor

now its good

[digital aurora]

I could make Germany coup before they invade the Soviet Union and that would allow me to build up my industry and navy earlier right?

[opal nymph]

Oof

[heavy vigil]

350K of those losses within 2 months

cuzs of an invasion

[opal nymph]

Did they roll your invasion or something?

[blazing belfry]

we better get the dev corner atleast 6 hours from now like last time rather than even more...

[opal nymph]

Wdym

[wicked swift]

w

[opal nymph]

Patience is a virtue

Think of it as the devs polishing what they have so they have something better to present

[wicked swift]

not long at all

[sudden falcon]

it feels impossible to invade the brits as the germans

[warped flint]

I am scared

[digital aurora]

Start a coup in Germany so I don’t have to worry as much about a looming invasion

[sudden falcon]

they garrison every tile bro

[warped flint]

why is italy actually doing good

[opal nymph]

Who are you playing as

[warped flint]

they WENT AROUND A BRITISH UNIT IN AFRICA

THATS TO SMART FOR ITALY

AND INVADED MALTA

[opal nymph]

So you have air superiority?

[opal nymph]

Holy smokes

Mussolini woke up

[digital aurora]

Soviets

[blazing belfry]

I do hope so I very much do, I just clarity though, why is it delayed? could we get the names of the upcoming dev corners to atleast have something to look forward to?

[opal nymph]

Well, doesn't that remove some of the challenge?

Also you handicap your political power gain

[surreal minnow]

Hello

[opal nymph]

Hi

[warped flint]

Hes even doing good here

[opal nymph]

Probably because they aren't finished and want to get some things worked out

[sudden falcon]

tried paratroopers and naval invasions twice

both failed

[opal nymph]

I know they sometimes update in the replies

[surreal minnow]

Hi

[opal nymph]

Do you have CAS

[digital aurora]

Well it would allow me to focus on building up my naval forces

[sudden falcon]

my paratroopers couldnt even land

[opal nymph]

Soviets and navy

[digital aurora]

As super heavy battleships take almost 3 years

[opal nymph]

Name 2 things that dont pair well

[sudden falcon]

cas doesnt matter if theres 10 divs stacked on a port

[surreal minnow]

Yall im trying to play w Luxembourg this is my progress

[opal nymph]

CAS allows you to reinforce meme

[heavy vigil]

im not invading

[opal nymph]

Oh

You really need CAS to take out the UK. Also in part because they can bomb subs as well

[blazing belfry]

mussolini gonna run out of supplies soon enough though

too many fronts too little industry

[opal nymph]

Wdym cant land

[opal nymph]

Like do they instantly die when landing or they dont launch

[opal nymph]

Holy smokes, we are eating pasta tonight boys

[warped flint]

I sent my tanks to assist

but legit i think they could have done it without me

Wow

[dusky burrow]

LMAO just found this on the reddit

[warped flint]

i have never seen such a normal italy

[slim nexus]

yall how do i fix the supply issue before i get pushed out

[opal nymph]

LOL

[opal nymph]

Bomb the subs raiding you

And take birmingham

[feral lark]

this is what happens when you play for 20 years after you have basically already won. you have a million dudes sitting in freaking LAND CRUISER divisions that basically are always at low supply just for existing

[opal nymph]

Also get air superiority

This is why you do cross channel operations and not a hull landing

[warped flint]

I gotta pay attention

[opal nymph]

That way you can get air cover

[warped flint]

Wait a minute

italy is trying to save me

the roles have been reversed

NO

[opal nymph]

More RKs mod?

[warped flint]

Yeah

trying it out for the first time

[opal nymph]

I have basically become desensitized to seeing anything related to Burgundy

No emotional response

But the frankreich one seems neet

[opal nymph]

Did you get pushed out or what's the situation

[slim nexus]

slowly getting pushed back yeah

[opal nymph]

You need to bomb the subs raiding you

[slim nexus]

i dont have a lot of naval bombers

i need quick solutions

[opal nymph]

Do you have CAS

[slim nexus]

yes

[sudden falcon]

the tiles are garrisoned

[opal nymph]

CAS bombs subs

Then do that

[slim nexus]

also i dont really think its subs that are my issue

[warped flint]

Never seen the ai naval invade so much this earl

[opal nymph]

It is

[opal nymph]

You need Birmingham then for local supply

[opal nymph]

So you do have air superiority

[slim nexus]

luckily i made a save before i got pushed back too far

[opal nymph]

Do you have naval superiority

[slim nexus]

so how can i get birmingham

[sudden falcon]

no i had to wait for it to flicker

[slim nexus]

i dont

[opal nymph]

Try to get Birmingham or pull back to hull and try to break out

[cerulean orchid]

u migjt be cooked it looks like they had time to get their whole army up in there

[opal nymph]

You dont have air superiority

Because you chose to not do cross channel operations

[slim nexus]

also got issues up here

[cerulean orchid]

the uk is so annoying to invade now

[slim nexus]

because britain puts their entire fleet in the channel

[magic pecan]

its not getting any better 💀

[slim nexus]

the only time i was able to do a cross channel invasion was as italy and that was after i took the entire french navy

i only have 60 ships and all of them are destroyers

[opal nymph]

That's where tou CAS the fleet to death

[slim nexus]

im trying to rush this before the us joins the war

[cerulean orchid]

i usually beat them now but if you dont take them in like 2 seconds you run out of supply

[slim nexus]

i mean im not using my entire army rn

should i send in more guys that havent lost org yet?

[cerulean orchid]

na you already dont have supply

[opal nymph]

Im just saying you are getting completely raided if your troops are one tile out of port and are out of supply

[slim nexus]

idk how to save this

[cerulean orchid]

also theyll prolly get raided

[opal nymph]

Simple retreat and set up Atlantikwall

Then go in on the Soviets

[slim nexus]

the only troops i have one tile a way from a port have supply

[heavy vigil]

just stop attacking?

[slim nexus]

so its definitely not me being raided

[heavy vigil]

hows it that hard

[slim nexus]

no i cant

i have to do this before america joins

[heavy vigil]

could still be lol

local supply exists

[heavy vigil]

why..?

ai legitimately never poses a real threat

[slim nexus]

because if america joins i will never be able to beat their navy

[opal nymph]

Okay, just defend

[heavy vigil]

ok so what

[opal nymph]

And dont attack

[heavy vigil]

focus on ussr

[slim nexus]

so i wont be able to beat them??

[cerulean orchid]

ya youre gonna have to pull out

[heavy vigil]

put some units on d day wall

[slim nexus]

how hard is this to understand

[heavy vigil]

forget about it until after ussr

then make navy

you can absolutely win

[opal nymph]

With Soviet industry you can

[cerulean orchid]

you dont even have that many units in the uk and you have absolutely no supply or org

[slim nexus]

no thanks im not waiting for 1946 for me to become stronger than the us

[opal nymph]

You get an OP focus giving you 25% dockyard output

[heavy vigil]

it only takes 1-2 yearts

years*

[cerulean orchid]

restart then idk bruh

[heavy vigil]

youll also have a million naval bombers

[slim nexus]

i mean yeah thats what i think im gonna do

[opal nymph]

Or you move the goalposts

[slim nexus]

im gonna need to take birmingham

[cerulean orchid]

youre not beating the uk like ts

[opal nymph]

Simply call owning continental Europe a win

[slim nexus]

before britain can get their whole army in

[opal nymph]

Okay are you microing

Or just battleplanning

And what are your marine divisions

I assume you have red air

[slim nexus]

both ig

[warped flint]

I am leaving the African front to Italy now

[opal nymph]

Well stop battleplanning

[warped flint]

i believe in them

[opal nymph]

Oh no...

[heavy vigil]

invading the uk isnt even that hard just like dont be dumb about it

its totally fine to do it post barb

[opal nymph]

Those aren't the strongest divisions

[slim nexus]

i mean what would you add to them

[opal nymph]

No point

They won't be reinforced

So slam into birmingham

[slim nexus]

im aware but if i did this again what would you change

[cerulean orchid]

remove the line art

[opal nymph]

Pin troops to prevent them from reinforcing

[slim nexus]

tried that on like 3 different saves and it didnt work

i think im cooked

[opal nymph]

Then you hold the line

[cerulean orchid]

i always use 16/18 width infantry with support arty and engineer and sometimes aa

[opal nymph]

The marine divisions i use are 36 widths. You could probably get away with 24 widths

[heavy vigil]

Last time i sealioned i used these

[opal nymph]

Or 18 width marines work

Maybe

[cerulean orchid]

lowkey i use tanks to sealion

[opal nymph]

I use infantry lmao

I love CAS

[dusky burrow]

I swear I always get jumpscared seeing Crusader Koko

[slim nexus]

Who are you

[slim nexus]

damn these too big

i never make units that big

ill try them next time though

[opal nymph]

Wait.

This is probably dumb, but it might be needed.

Send in an extra army of inf to hold the line

[cerulean orchid]

my guy do you not use tanks or something

[opal nymph]

No supply, but it might help

[slim nexus]

never needed them before no

[opal nymph]

[slim nexus]

thats what i asked before but it might not work

[cerulean orchid]

you could probably have beaten the uk if you had tanks

[heavy vigil]

20 of them and youll win sealion against whatever youre facing

[wary sparrow]

Im struggling to understand how we are losing to germany 😭

[dusky burrow]

I doubt that would help if you're invading the UK

[cerulean orchid]

prolly casualties

[slim nexus]

yeah i dont think that would work

[opal nymph]

He only has 24 divisions in the UK i think

Or 30

[slim nexus]

i have 48

one army in scotland and 24 down here

[opal nymph]

Wait

Move 12 of the Scottish troops to thr south

[slim nexus]

theyre not well supplied either so idk

ill try tho

[opal nymph]

Also encircle the tank

[cerulean orchid]

the south isnt gonna hold

[slim nexus]

should i just move up near manchester and sheffield where there's supply?

[opal nymph]

No, just send 12 troops from the north to reinforce the south

[dusky burrow]

Check for convoy raiding btw

But if that's your situation yeah you can send more units

[opal nymph]

Make the south a field marshal frontline to make it 1 frontline

[slim nexus]

well i have a save so theres no reason not to try

[heavy vigil]

battleships sucking up supply for no reason

why are they there

[dusky burrow]

Also what jonathan said

[slim nexus]

didnt notice that

probably there for repairs tho

ill move them back to germany

[opal nymph]

You know what I find funny.

People doing sea lion with minimal prep and wonder why things are going poorly

[slim nexus]

i mean this is my first sealion as germany

when i did it as italy i barely needed to prep i just swept over them

[heavy vigil]

i usually overprep tbf

[wicked swift]

💀

[cerulean orchid]

i dont even need prep all i do is take them fast enough

[opal nymph]

Navy, not built up
Airforce, unable to assist
Army, getting raided

[dusky burrow]

I don't find that funny necessarily, I just don't think they know what prep is needed

[cerulean orchid]

usually i dont even get to put air up bc of the aa

[dusky burrow]

Also yeah that happens sometimes

[slim nexus]

i expected my germany game to go as similar as my italy game

[opal nymph]

Wait, what dlc do you have

[slim nexus]

all

[opal nymph]

Alright

[cerulean orchid]

italian fleet is a lot better than germany

[dusky burrow]

Some games, like my Italy and Norway games, I am able to literally walk into the UK with cavalry and be fine. Some games, unfortunately, I am stuck with huge numbers of British units everywhere

[opal nymph]

German fleet is not bad, just kinda small

[slim nexus]

yeah but i didnt expect navy to matter much after the initial invasion

because once again as italy i beat the uk in like under a month

[cerulean orchid]

also italy is piss easy if you paradrop france in like 37

[opal nymph]

A small investment is all you need to make it formidable

Against AI

[heavy vigil]

Ussr fleet is opposite

[slim nexus]

tank got encirlced btw

the french one

[cerulean orchid]

ussr fleet is actually worthless

[opal nymph]

Soviet fleet designs are pain

[heavy vigil]

But big

[opal nymph]

The black sea fleet is borderline worthless

[dusky burrow]

True. My Italy game however was in Sheep's, so they literally spawn heavy tanks if you do that

[cerulean orchid]

every time i play ussr i lose my entire fleet in like 1 naval battle against germany

[heavy vigil]

Im just saying you add ussr fleet to germany fleet

And then you have an almost servicable fleet

[dusky burrow]

In general though you can

[heavy vigil]

Serviceable? Idk

[opal nymph]

Japan defeated the Russian navy so hard that the fleet is still bad

[warped flint]

Trying to take the Balkans rn

[dusky burrow]

Honestly that is because you have no points of reference between 1905 and 2022. During both world wars the Russian fleet was actually fairly competent, but most of its actions were supporting forces on the ground, sea denial, minelaying, minesweeping, etc etc

Nothing glorious like Tsushima or Midway

[wary ledge]

The Allies: Germany is about to cause chaos in Europe! What should we do?!

The suspiciously shaped Paraguay towering behind Germany:

[dusky burrow]

Bug probably

[blazing belfry]

best country in south america

[dusky burrow]

Paragruay probably joined a faction war, but the game thought it declared war separately on each country in faction

[opal nymph]

I was surprised Bolivia didn't get content in ToA

It got a bunch of handicaps

But nothing else

[wary ledge]

That's exactly what it is lmao

I checked the world tension logs and there was a lengthy list of entries of "Paraguay joined x Offensive War"

[dusky burrow]

Happens all the time

[shy atlas]

anarchist divisions vs soviet light tanks in early 1938, I call this the 'anarchist death war' because my units were fighting this battle for close to 100 days without the unplanned offensive debuff, idek what to say

[opal nymph]

I hope you halted your battles every couple of weeks. You would have like a level 9 general probably lol

[shy atlas]

I thought the battle would end because the enemy units were so low org and strength, but somehow the anarchists held on forever there until I took the vp next to barcelona

[dusky burrow]

BTW I'm watching your marine commandos video where you say they're bad partially because you can't put artillery in them

[shy atlas]

I have no clue why those crap divisions could hold against all of our forces

[opal nymph]

Me when I was a mere casual

And not a semi-casual

[warped flint]

plans for operation barborossa

[opal nymph]

My problem with marine commandos were that they didn't do much

[dusky burrow]

Yeah marine commandos don't do too much, and they do restrict your division designs

So yeah the overall conclusion is right

[opal nymph]

Oh boy, i blew up a naval dockyard

Or a port i was going to use

[gusty oracle]

you missed the part where you stop to lose at moskau

[shy atlas]

bokoen1 used them to raid germany and deny them their autarky focus by going in and detonating everything

[dusky burrow]

Just funny somewhat how the video got to that conclusion

[opal nymph]

Well, that was modded too

[shy atlas]

yes but the concept of marine commandos was the same

[opal nymph]

I know College changed it to where you had to control a state to have autarky instead of needing to fully control for autarky

Since taking 1 random tile canceled the whole focus

[dusky burrow]

I mean if you can only get temporary naval superiority (like in a Georgia game I was sent) then marine commandos can make sense to attrit the enemy's land forces, but that isn't exactly a stable situation

But I can see niche uses

[opal nymph]

Marine commandos would be based if you can do raids with them

Like actual raids

[dusky burrow]

Like paratrooper raids

[opal nymph]

Just nuke the entire industry of a coastal state for memes, why not

[dusky burrow]

Saint Nazaire comes to mind

[granite zenith]

ty mods for getting rid of that gentlemen

[opal nymph]

Dieppe Raid?

Those were just Canadians though, right

Not even marines

[dusky burrow]

There were some British commandos tbh

[opal nymph]

Was the Dieppe raid a pathfinder raid?

What even is the point of a pathfinder raid

I think it lowers invasion penalty?

[spring hedge]

big plans bro just attack

[opal nymph]

I have found plans useless, but planning indispensable

Also they look nice

Alright im going to bed now, cya

[dusky burrow]

Yeah reduces naval invasion penalty

Also pathfinder raids take too long

[spring hedge]

dudes play 1 game of hoi4 think they napoleon

[dusky burrow]

You can just do naval invasions in 7 days

And take the enemy by surprise

[opal nymph]

I have 2k hours in the game lol

[dusky burrow]

In singleplayer that is

[opal nymph]

Planning gives epic bonus

I love free stats

[spring hedge]

true

[opal nymph]

until an enemy spy ruins it

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

Noticed that with my French heavy tanks attacking into Germany, which had like 9 spies

I still won though

Wait this is funny

wait never mind for some reason I thoguht the luftwaffe was the navy, so that would have made eben emael funny

[clear dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/war-planes-tanks-gravity-broken-gif-26202635

[warped flint]

First encirclement of the war

not bad

[dusky burrow]

BTW anti-monument air raids are Germany favored

Like why can only Germany bomb war support monuments like Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty, and the Kremlin? Shouldn't any country be able to do it as well

They're just normal buildings tbh, it should be simple to let anyone bomb them

[sacred breach]

What should I use for attacking? Front line? Offensive line? Fallback line? Or Spreadsheet?

[heavy vigil]

field marshal shift click frontline 99% of the time

[warped flint]

haha

killed like 10 more before this screenshot aswell

oh wait

iran blockaded me

im cooked

i got no oil suppliers right next to me

i need to blitz the sovs

italy nooo

[sacred breach]

Thx

[warped flint]

WAIT WHA

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS

[edgy elm]

e

[edgy elm]

did u garrisona nd surpress the pols?

seems like u let unrest go about 50

[warped flint]

That was my puppets job

I was sending aid to the reichskommasariats quiet often

[edgy elm]

slap an operative to remove unrest

[edgy elm]

never uh

do that

they are self sufficient

[warped flint]

Alr, I gotta think what to do

i lost momentum in the east

This is the most fun ive had in hoi4 in so long

[digital aurora]

Is it ever worth it as the soviets to switch over to mobile warfare? or am i better off just going down the deep battle path on mass assault?

[vital quest]

Mobile warfare sucks keep on going mass

[analog ivy]

which side is more fun

[dapper juniper]

unplayable

[warped flint]

Alright just gonna stop for now

sorta managed to get a better positonin the east

i want to reach the dniper

[hollow skiff]

Probably left side
