Prussia - HOI4 - Caucasus and Beyond

Now that Ukraine is behind our Armeegruppe I send mainly 3rd Army (pink) south to secure our flank while the remaining forces, including the expanding Besatzungsarmee continue eastwards.
01 Apr 1917: I deploy 10 more Stoßtruppen-Divisionen....
….and assign them to the Besatzungsarmee.
05 Apr 1917: The Soviet provisional capital will soon have to move again. We have columns heading towards Sevastopol, Georgievsk and Baku. All three are regional capitals.
13 Apr 1917: We have sunk Soviet merchants in the Western Mediterranean....
….and also the Central Mediterranean.
16 Apr 1917: Georgia capitulates and....
….we receive some equipment.
I add new MFs to Early Motorized and Armoured Cars production.
18 Apr 1917: Now Armenia capitulates...
….and again we capture some of their stockpiled equipment.
The advance continues. Note that we have captured 3 airfields. They are a rarity in the Soviet Union.
I order 3rd Army to garrison the Caucasus region. They'll need more divisions.
22 Apr 1917: The Soviets are now 78% towards capitulation and we have lost 1K troops.
28 Apr 1917: What a joke. Woodrow needs to have a chat with Henry Ford....he can keep his wagons to help colonize the Wild West.
We have multiple bridgeheads over the Volga river - the Ural mountain range is the next objective.
02 May 1917: We now control enough regions with essential resources that we don't need to import oil or chromium anymore.
So I cancel all our imports. That frees up more CFs for construction.
03 May 1917: We need beaucoup expansion of the infrastructure.
The southern half of the front.
1st, 5th and 6th Armies receive new orders - just keep marching eastwards.
04 May 1917: The situation in the northern sector and we receive the technology for an Early Light Machine Gun.
I select Early Artillery Upgrade I as the next technology project. A 1918 technology!
Finally the orders for 1st Army in the northern sector. We have to occupy that empty terrain to gain 'Capitulation Points'.
That's all for this post. We now have to concentrate on Central Russia and possibly Mongolia too. Bis bald.

Germany - HOI4 - Damn the Soviets! (II)

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 ...
