Prussia - HOI4 - Drang Nach Osten (I)

06 Feb 1917: The Soviets call Georgia into the conflict....
….and Mongolia too.
11 Feb 1917: Deep penetrations on the Northern Front.
12 Feb 1917: I divert a few divisions from 6th Army south then east to support the southern flank.
14 Feb 1917: The first naval battle ends in a German victory.
19 Feb 1917: I order a couple of divisions to advance on the Soviet capital Petrograd.
Two weeks into the campaign and the road to Moscow appears to be free of defenders. Oh, we have lost air superiority over Eastern Germany.
23 Feb 1917: I deploy 6 air wings from my reserves to remedy the situation,
26 Feb 1917: We are at the gates of both Petrograd and Moscow.
27 Feb 1917: I add more MFs to Infantry Equipment and Fokker CAS aircraft.
We have captured Novgorod so I send 4 more divisions from 5th Army to Petrograd.
28 Feb 1917: A defeat? 8 old destroyers sunk a battleship and a light cruiser. Give them some medals.
We have only 137 dead! Almost a Sunday stroll....
01 Mar 1917: We've taken Moscow. Now we need that airfield and to continue the drive eastwards.
09 Mar 1917: We have received Field Artillery Wheels and on the Southern Front the other Russia has been encircled. No more expansion for them.
My next technology research project is Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesien.
We sank another Soviet battleship. Their Baltic Fleet doesn't have a home port here anymore. The nearest is Murmansk.
I import more oil from the Netherlands....
….create an improved version of the new armoured car....
….then enter it into production. Captured MFs will make it possible.
Great, we have capture Petrograd.
The Soviets are only 20% towards capitulation. Will we have to go all the way to Vladivostok???
I need more oil so I import some from the USA.
10 Mar 1917: I use the captured Dockyards to create another Wiesbaden Class light cruiser production line.
The campaign is proceeding according to plan. We have captured both Petrograd and Moscow. Bis bald.

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 ...
