Germany - HOI4 - Trouble Ahead?

08 Apr 1938: I've made a synthetic fuel refinery a priority project.
09 Apr 1938:My Excavation II research has finished.
I need to develop RADAR technology so I select Decimetric Radar.
20 Apr 1938: A bit pretentious for a nation that is ignoring the crises in the rest of the world....
21 Apr 1938: The focus Naval Effort arrives.
I select Tactical Air Effort for the Luftwaffe.
29 Apr 1938: I order Panzerarmee Guderian to Zagreb.
15 May 1938: I have to import more tungsten. From Norway this time.
24 May 1938: Computing Machine technology has been researched.
I can now work on Decryption - Frequency Analysis.
21 Jun 1938 and we have acquired Oil Processing know-how.
I need Encryption technology too in order to protect my transmissions.
30 Jun 1938 and the national focus Tactical Air Effort has completed.
I select Coal Liquidization next.
04 Jul 1938: I upgrade another 8 Infantry Divisions to Assault Divisions.
24 Jul 1938: The Signal Company becomes available.
I now switch to air doctrines and choose Hunt and Destroy.
On 27 Jul 1938 Decimetric Radar technology research finishes.
I choose Panzer IV next. Way ahead of schedule but the -50% reduction makes it attractive.
06 Aug 1937: I import tungsten from Greece this time.
15 Aug 1938: Three Panzer Divisions are sent to the conversion unit.
01 Sep 1938: I now receive Encryption capability - Polyalphabetical Ciphers.
Armoured Spearhead sounds useful so let's research it.
02 Sep 1938 and the commies hold another International.
07 Sep 1938: Mussolini announces claims on the Dalmatian Coast region of Yugoslavia. Benito is playing a dangerous game. Note that Italy is not justifying a War Goal (yet).

Germany - HOI4 - Damn the Soviets! (II)

Image
28 Jan 1941: Just over one week after we responded to the brutal Soviet assault on Finland we have made considerable gains despite the many handicaps which have confronted us. I start recruiting 10 more assault divisions. I like those figures but look at the contribution of the Allies - ZERO!!! 31 Aug 1941. Our forces have captured Kiev, the Ukrainian capital. At Vitebsk the Fallschirmjäger are helping to make contact with the advancing troops. The Soviets suffer a major naval defeat in the Baltic. We also agree to a Non-Aggression Pact with France. 01 Feb 1941: Guderian's Panzerarmee has started to engage the enemy. A gaping hole in the Soviet lines is being created. In addition, Encryption research has been completed. I decide to research Concentrated Industry IV next. 06 Feb 1941: There is intensive fighting north of Gomel. We appear to have the upper hand though. 07 Feb 1941: The situation in the south is more confused. I give orders to take Odessa

Italy - HOI4 - Danzig or War?

Image
06 Apr 1939 - Let us stroll around Europe and survey the mood at the brink of war. The Soviets have a very bad opinion of Germany. That is good news. My wars did that. The same in France. That is very good news. Poland needs all the friends it can get. To be expected. 07 April and the insatiable Adolf Hitler is grabbing more territory. 20 Apr 1939 and Radio Detection has been researched. I now select Advanced Machine Tools . I must keep my industry as modern as possible. I'm satisfied with the situation. 09 May 1939 and Computing Machine research is completed. I can now research Decryption-Frequency Analysis . It sounds interesting, 14 Jun 1939 - Decision day for Poland and they quite rightly presumed that Germany would want more than Danzig alone. Germany now has a justification to attack Poland (game rules). Meanwhile at home my next focus will be Carrier Effort . A low priority for the Navy but I need the technology. 15 Jun 1939 and German

Germany - HOI4 - Opposing Hitler

Image
14 Sep 1937: The smoke has cleared and I update my Production. I have 57 MFs now but only 4 are being used on the Luftwaffe. Most of my aircraft designs are outdated though so I don't want to waste too much resources on that junk. My Heer (Army) is also short on everything.... That means I can take a shortcut back to the Heimat (home). 22 Sep 1937: The Oppose Hitler focus is completed.... ….no further comment required. That means Nazis versus the German Military Junta (me). We are at war again. I select the focus Reichsautobahn . The good news is that we vastly outnumber the Nazi forces. Unfortunately my forces are all over Europe and forming a frontline will take time which means I shall lose territory for a while. 23 Sep 1937: Reichsautobahn has been cancelled because I don't own some of the territory required. Check out this Army 2 - nothing but conscripts and all in western Germany. Nazis are being purged from my government. Göring, Keitel
