Prussia - HOI4 - Russia Not Neglected

28 Mar 1912: I told the Grand Duke that one would take care of Luxembourg and I keep my word.
At the southern end of the Russian front we have a promising attack. The other attacks keep the enemy pinned so that they can't respond by supporting their colleagues.
29 Mar 1912: The northern sector is also doing fine. We've also received the tech Improved Oil Drilling.
I've decided on the High Seas Fleet path for our navy doctrine.
30 Mar 1912: The attack in the south is developing well. There is only one division defending now.
03 Apr 1912: A brief excursion to West Africa.
East Africa too. Not amused.
06 Apr 1912: Breakthrough! The road to Minsk is wide open.
07 Apr 1912: Business as usual on the Western Front.
12 Apr 1912: Riga has been captured and another 11 Russian divisions have been encircled. I have Dvinsk in my sights.
15 Apr 1912: Breakthrough in the south too. As if Japan is going to help....
16 Apr 1912: Japan's fault.....
22 Apr 1912: Another 7 Russian divisions are trapped and await nothing good.
27 Apr 1912: The British have lost a merchant ship....
Confirmation that we have the upper hand. Japan has not changed anything.
02 May 1912: Of course we shall attend.....
04 May 1912: The French are only delivering piecemeal attacks.
I decide to add three more divisions though.
They move to the front...
….then I convert them to Festung-Divisions.
06 May 1912: Then they are put in training.
I could use some trenches in Luxembourg but they can't be built if under attack.
My latest plans on the northern sector of the Russian front.
In the south too.
Russia is only 8% towards capitulation! This will be a long war.
We now have the largest army and Russia has fallen to #4 in the world.
We have gained momentum on the Russian front. We have to keep up the pressure and hope that something breaks.

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 ...
