Prussia - HOI4 - Further Build-Up

16 Jan 1916: While I'm at Tunisia I plan a level 5 Fort and increase the infrastructure to the maximum of level 10.
18 Jan 1916: I also deploy a new fighter wing there.
My procurement of army equipment is looking much better. Within 100 days I should no longer have any deficits.
Deploying new air wings creates a deficit too because I'm deploying outdated aircraft therefore new versions are put on order.
The 9th of May is the date to watch in the Soviet Union.
These 10 new divisions are to be assigned to 3rd Army when trained so I might as well move them to Warszawa.
I can also move the new Panzer-Divisionen to Toulon so that they can be shipped to Africa as soon as they have completed training.
08 Feb 1916: The technology Improved Mechanical Computing has been researched.
I select the Büssig ASP armoured car next.
Definitely an improvement.
I assign the 2nd Gebirgs-Division to 8th Army in Serbia. There are plenty of mountains down there. Turkey's Non-Aggression Pact with its neighbours will soon be reaching the 4 year mark if it hasn't done already.
25 Feb 1916: The tech Heavy Industry II has arrived.
I decide to research Reinforced Concrete next.
14 Mar 1916: I plan the construction of 15 new Military Factories.
I move 9 of them up the queue to start the construction immediately.
Four Stoßtruppen-Division have completed training so they are assigned to 3rd Army.
Two divisions in Armee APAC need more training.
17 Mar 1916: The remaining 6 Stoßtruppen-Division are assigned to 3rd Army.
3rd Army is detailed to garrison the Warszawa region so new units assigned to the Army will automatically move there.
I deploy 10 more divisions early....
….as well as the 3rd Gebirgs-Division.
They all enter training.
18 Mar 1916: The 135mm FK 1909 is ready for production.
I select Adopt Stahlhelm next.
I hope to have researched these four 1916 technologies before invading the Soviet Union. That's all for this post. In the next post we shall see if the coup is successful or not. 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

Prussia - HOI4 - Drang Nach Osten (I)

Image
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.
