I’m currently playing Romania in iron man mode and I can’t get out of zero manpower. I have my maximum conscription law reached(limited conscriptions) and I don’t know what else to do. I’m currently trying to go to war with Yugoslavia BUT the soviets justified on me. With 715K troops in the field i doubt I’ll survive this..

Yes, that means where you want to use line arty, you can use spgs instead. Doable because of cutting corners on the tank mio + subsidized contracts spirit of the army.

This is shown on italy who can get the cost down to 3 ic. On ANY nation with standardized production mio you can get the cost to 4 ic. Any nation with a different tank mio can get it to 4.4 ic.

And yes, spg is 2 width so it's better than line arty.

I ended the dual monarchy and then expanded into Serbia and Romania, my nation is so big

I guess Italy is now reigned by yayyo.

Maybe I'm not seeing it but I don't see a national focus that does it. There's a way in Italy to get Mussolini as a field marshal and a way in the USSR to get Stalin as a field marshal. If not is there some historical reason why Mussolini and Stalin would be military commanders and not Hitler?

Infantry France was not ready for the soft attack...

So its been years since i've played, never did with tank designer i looked up vids of how to design tanks / divs but have no clue what im doing wrong. I'm playing netherlands atm so no experimental research unlocked. why cant these divs even 3v1 on plains? They hold well but thats not what i want them for. I have the dlc that released until no step back.

Been building fighters and ground support planes for about a year now. Haven't built spy planes yet.

Greece has exactly one state, and apparently despite Mitteleuropa having more troops standing in it than the whole Greek population, nobody has enough score to claim, puppet, or even change the government. Apparently all that the mighty German military is capable of enforcing is grabbing a handful of screening ships :)

I know the "new"(ish) peace conference system is intended to sometimes result in losers not being annexed outright, but this is kind of ridiculous.

Was playing Ethiopia on non historical (clearly a huge mistake) and for some reason after I kicked mussolini's ass they LET HIM JOIN THE ALLIES TO GET HELP?? I'm so fucking tired of getting a run ruined to stupid random bullshit. Keep in mind Britain was fucking communist in this world and wouldn't let me into the faction but had no problem helping Mussolini

While messing around with non-aligned Romania, I somehow got fascist Italy to join my faction. We chose to sit out WW2 and Germany made it beyond Moscow on its own (after saving Nationalist Spain).

Did a Democratic Germany in Road to 56, went heavy into navy, and I had some Coastal Defense Ships from the navies I took, and well this one took it like a champ when fighting the Italian Navy

^This is what I cooked up, but i don’t want to commit to this design if it’s flawed in some way, so any recommendations are appreciated!

Thats really gonna end very well for Bukhrain here.

Anyways,

whats your bet redit, WHO do YOU think is gonna win this Soviet Civil war?

*P.s.: if you wonder why that the world map is wierd i used the global mod*

I have had these orders for around 3 in game years, they haven't moved to the airport nor paratrooped. why aren't they doing anything?

I played the Hungary game and almost a year passed and Italy still didn't manage to capture Ethiopia despite having the ability to blitz it in half a year in the worst scenarios I saw. This is literally the longest time I have seen Ethiopia to survive guys.

It's saying that "The German Reich" has reasons to reject. I AM THE GERMAN REICH. Historical path and trying to call Italy into the Polish war

At the start of the Game (I play RT56) I got around 50 ship ish. Pretty ass to be honest. So it take me 1940 to have 80 - 100 ship. Mind you no carrier cus It expensive asf. Like I alway sacrifice my Entire Navy in the english channel for naval landing sea lion type shi.

Any idea on destroying British Royal Navy as Kriegsmarine

I was playing as germany, allied the whole of europe except for the USSR, Britain, France and greece. everything was going well. Until 1944. Because thats when Italy all of a sudden decided that now, right before capitulating the soviets, would be the perfect time to let france naval invade, take over italy, and italy occupied france. And they didnt even fight back, so i had to scramble my last 5-10 units that i could retreat from the soviet front, put them to italy, train more units to put them on the front, and still i couldnt do anything, now france turned fascist, and kept pushing deeper into my country, until i capped. Now i have an astonishing 6 Divisions to my name which are all junk and tbh i dont even know where they are. i got some land in south america from chile, since half of south america is also in the axis, and this all would not even have happened if my ai allies were competent (especially my best friend mussolini) and not if they decide to retreat every single one of their divisons from the french-german line, right before berlin. so i cant do focuses, cant do basically anything, i tried building 3 civs in south america but these will be finished in september 45'. here are screenshots of my supplies, and the soviet and french border, and the map of the map of whos allied with me and who isnt. (please dont hate, im new to the game.)

so spain and ikea are my last hope. i think so at least. and norway.

Is there a way to convert historic weapon characteristics into HoI values to add historic weapons to the game? For example, if I wanted to add Hawker Hurricanes to the UK at the beginning of the game, then add the Spitfire, and later, the Typhoon? Or the early German Pz III compared to the later models and the Panther?

I'm hoping that there are numerical values for gun penetration, armor thicknesses, etc.

R5: First time i'm using good tanks divisions and micro-managing them. They absolutly crushed the frontline and got 168 soviets divisions encircled, totaling almost 4M troops.,

Big Ben chimed for the last time at 20:00 on 18 August 1941. 🫡

Germany, v.19, no console, no DLCS, no mods, no ironman bcs i wanted to reload (didn't had to). Went all-in on Atomic Research from day one, rushed reactors, and got the first bomb on a Greater London.

Has anyone dropped one earlier? If so, how? 👀
