i always put 1/3 of my industry on expensive long range strat bombers to bomb the shit out of europe

junior imp

I'm trying to do that but there aren't enough place for mills lmao

then i use mechanized marines/armored divisions to land in france and mop up the axis

Btw

#

Greece or Poland or any other fun countries you'd suggest?

#

I'm changing countries for now

vernal river
#

poland is fun

junior imp
#

(new game)

#

Poland is the easiest for unhistorical

#

I just conquer the USSR when they are in civil war and get whatever I can

sudden thistle
#

U should make Africa decolonized and play morroco

Trust

vernal river
#

germany's the big threat with poland

#

but even they aren't too bad when you build up for a while

junior imp
#

Bunkers, AT and AA should save it

sudden thistle

#

I played Unhistorical poland and encircled all of germany

vernal river
#

soviets dont scare me

junior imp
#

As I said I just remove them from their strong parts when they enter a civil war and I "help" them

#

Which Poland path gng

vernal river
#

yea on unhistorical especially the red army is basically always absolutely destroyed every time

#

How do I do this achievement?

As a Warlord, proclaim a new Chinese Empire.

junior imp

#

Am I not allowed to do the nations focus that removed my warlord state?

#

Yeah

junior imp
vague comet
#

So what not do any Focus trees until 1949?

junior imp
#

The starting units are so shit in minors 🥀

vague comet
#

Or am I just being an idiot

#

Cuz I finished the focus tree with Shandong clique and claimed Mandate of Heaven to get „empire of China“ tag, but didn’t get the achievement as my warlord state has been removed

#

Due to national focus

junior imp
#

Idk I don't have the new dlc

#

Which path do I go as poland gng

they have troops on frontlines on mountain provinces and he has bad supply

round jetty
#

the game still registers you as "shandong clique"

dusky burrow
#

Also this means you can gain supremacy over one sea zone at a time

vernal river

so if i were him i'd just land in salerno and encircle all the italians on the south

Which path do I go as poland gng?

But I did this national focus before switching to the empire proclamation (ofc this is just for demonstration purposes)

By the way, I just got that achievement without knowing it existed.

I don't have götterdamerung so I have the old german alt history paths. I went down monarchist to grab a few achievements. One of them was danzig for guarantees and poland accepted. Then suddenly france turned fascist and I got the achievement.
There wasn't anything about boosting fascism in france in the focus tree. I don't know how they turned fascist is it through events or an "intentional game design"?

why is there 50 divisions defending an empty desert tile in northern iraq

#

20 of them are bulgarian

and i can attack it from 5 different tiles

bro tannu tuva has 31 divisions in 1941

and 11 factories

# round jetty and 11 factories

I believe TT starts with one mil and one civ.
Focus tree gives four civs and three mils and quick infrastructure in 39.
So 9 free factories and somehow 2 squeezed out once.
If you have the Officer Corps DLC, they get the Marx Portrait.
And with Focus Tree it get 900 manpower a week.
Noice.

Rather small, but extra Cores always feels nice.
Not sure if they got fully updated to the newest version yet.

#

why do you have 21 divs in Prussia

#

at least build rails and supply hubs to supply them

#

you should have at most like 12 and thats where your armored core should go

queen bronze
#

so am i supposed to defend that area or not.

merry wren
#

you push quickly and overwhelm them

#

encircle the rest Danzig and the coast

#

then connect your fronts and push down

then the inf will be fine.

# queen bronze ok is this better for poland?

People tend to be hypercritical.
It is better than before.
It is better.
It's fine.
Try to micro and control your divisions a little to form a good Danzig or East Poland Encirclement.
You're fine.

​​I have a really dumb question: i know how to make encirclements but there is kind of a buffer zone regarding supplies and divisions and ik its on preference: a) go all in and destroy them with little to no supply or b) slowly chip the army away but im gonna risk the entire enemy army smashing through the infantry even if i have the supply. I could use a helpful opinion
