What I like about playing Germany is thanks to Versailles Treaty all German forces actually begin in Germany. No colonies, no foreign wars so no scrolling around the world.
A recent update to HOI4 introduced a Focus Tree which allows an alternative path for Germany without Hitler. Selecting
Oppose Hitler plunges Germany into a civil war; Wehrmacht versus Nazis. If the Wehrmacht prevails the options pictured below are available. Unfortunately Germany can't go around conquering Europe instead has to wait for the war to come to him - somewhat boring.
This is the more 'historical' path, i.e. the Nazis are in power and have more opportunities coupled with more disadvantages. Only a handful of nations like Nazis...
So let's try to make the most of this dilemma. (I won't be giving such a detailed narrative in this campaign - hopefully those who have followed my previous campaigns have already grasped the basics.) First I need to set up my research projects.
Next I choose the
Four Year Plan which will help develop the economy....
….and I need MFs and CFs.
I plan military production concentrating on infantry stuff.
Next I organize the army in three groups. Infantry in Germany...
….mobile troops....
….and finally troops in East Prussia.
Recruitment is next. Not too many at first or nothing will arrive for a long time.
I'm short on resources so I import rubber,
….and oil.
It'll take 81 days for my first CF to be constructed.
That's the set-up completed. More later.
