#

Its just an american civil war

#

Lots of different war lords

#

After covid

sonic sand
#

He says as he unites america as a nazi state

oak mantle
#

Well its the most difficult country to unite america as

sonic sand
#

Like we get it bro you're a neo nazi

#

You don't needa spell it out

I did a dumb and I accidentally gave ulanbatar to the UK isntead of taking it for the achivement. I gotta do another iraq run again

oak mantle
#

The red is roughly where it starts

#

Then there are like 2 more war lords in florida above that

craggy trail

This was a pretty good run today though

#

Then you have 2 major us factions and you can assume who theyre ran by since its 2022 at the time of the civil war

sonic sand
oak mantle
#

Not quite

#

You also get no cores

#

Unlike most other war lords

#

So that makes it even harder to play

sonic sand
#

"not quite" he says instead of outright denying the accusations.

I battle planned them even tho they had the entire western part of america

Having battleships with only one 11-inch turret allows you to naval invade against the British

It's wild

Yeah

fading elk
#

Firstly u get Austria which assuming u do the railroad focus will accept peacefully 95% the time

#

Which that isn’t the worst

#

Then Czechoslovakia

#

Of world tension is sub 20 they will just say no 90% the time
But Germany is doing sudeten/world tension past 20 they have around a 60-70% total chance to accept

dusky burrow
#

Czechoslovakia is fine if you improve relations

dusky burrow
#

But then you get into war

fading elk
#

Except they have around a even chance of them being a puppet

#

Which in gotter is fine but in vanilla idk if it’s a bug but u are unable to integrate pupper Czechoslovakia

#

As for Transylvania well it’s a big more easy but still rng

dusky burrow
fading elk
#

If they don’t immediately accept then u get the mediator but even if u get full relations with some they can still say no (I heard France will always give it go u but I haven’t tried France so can’t say)

#

I did 2 test play through

#

1 where I got 100 relation with itlay and another with Germany for it

#

Both said no

#

And in Italys case the uk went to war with me over it depsite them not being in the talk I did

#

As for yugo/austrian Italy u kinda need to invade which is fine but well u gotta go vs the axis

#

Which unless u build up/they are distracted in Italy or barb its kinda hard to

#

Now yes u can do well as AH

#

I did this border gore looking thing in my first try but well ya if u wanna form “true” AH its very rng

You should be able to just annex Czechoslovakia and then core them via decision

Denmark never joined the allies

Then I declare on France to wip them out with nukes and 300 divs

#

Then Denmark immediately flips to allies for some reason and have 100 allied divs pre positioned (they didn’t give them mil access btw) and I have 250 divs encircled

#

Along with losing the airfield I was basing almost all my nukes from

#

The war lasted 4 months

#

I had set up more nukes, one on Paris and another on London

#

The Paris and the only in London and by this time I got to Annex imperial Germany proper after puppeting 2 years prior

By this time Denmark had taken Berlin

With the power of the us sending 100s of divs Through there

So in one act of revenge on Prussia we nuked Berlin

Bad news was the us was planning on nuking Budapest

#

We had 3k fighters over Hungary alone

But alas it was not enough

Budapest was bombed

And soon after the end of Austria Hungary

time to seize some puppets navies ig

Which is what I would say if France didn’t forget to balkanise me

Which they did

I kept Hungary and Linz of Austria

AH never died

We may have been nuked

#

And forced to join the allies

And all of Europe as now France

But hey

We were still AH in name only

like there is no world unless its desperate that i would ever use those in a fleet

if i play navy seriously

actually the scharnhorst ships with refits can be made usable

then again its properly more helpful to just still build the new shit rather then refit being the focus

yea ill never refit anything

i dont play hard to win shit in the game anyways so

for example i have made the spanish navy useable by refitting there shitty Battleships

ive only ever built battleships to sit in my fleet and look pretty

and idek the optimal refit stuff anyways

besides dont change armor or engine

# solid schooner do i only patrol submarines

Assuming that there are ways to personalize your navy, subs are meant for convoy raiding, destroyers for convoys escorts, Light cruiser and Heavy cruiser, for a basic navy ship, which you add Aircraft carrier, or a battleship as heavy ship.

any good way to invade britain now as a minor nation?

19 with 11 targeting and 23 with 11 targeting for CAS versus naval bomber

#

And you can do the former in 1940 tech, while the latter is 1944 tech (although ahead of time research does exist keep in mind)

heavy vigil
#

iirc its just cheaper

#

less thrust needed so you do smaller engine

#

i love my engine 1 interwar navs

this game is a complete joke, any sort of MP turns into a compititon to be as a-historical as possible, its stupid, hoi is a WW2 game, it should paly like one
