Prussia - HOI4 - Going South

03 Oct 1912: The remaining 7 divisions of 8th Army arrive and I commit them all to the left flank.
07 Oct 1912: The right flank is about to breakthrough.
11 Oct 1912: The three Fortress divisions have completed training and have been assigned to 4th Army.
13 Oct 1912: My focus Military Youth has completed.
I select Aviation Effort next because I want to maintain the emphasis on air superiority.
I decide to bring 1st Army nearer to the action.
Before nightfall the right flank has broken through the Serbian defences and my divisions are now crashing into the flank of the two remaining Serbian divisions.
15 Oct 1912: Now it's the British turn to lose a merchant.
I add the new MF to the Fokker aircraft production line.
17 Oct 1912: In the West I order a surprise attack through the Ardennes Forest.
25 Oct 1912: I add an extra 6 divisions attacking from the north.
26 Oct 1912: The research project Air Squadron has completed. Notice the Soviet division south of Luxembourg.
I select Airship Bomber Training next which gives a 15% bonus to strategic bombing.
Finally I order 9th Army from Frankfurt to Bitburg.
28 Oct 1912: Back to Serbia and there has been another breakthrough. I order 16th Reserve division to support the division. The Serbian right flank is about to give.
29 Oct 1912: We are through! The road to Nis is wide open!
03 Nov 1912: Nis has been captured. Now we have to get over that river....
06 Nov 1912: ….done but the Serbs have managed to scape up some reserves.
07 Nov 1912: I want to eliminate that sole Serb division then head northwest to roll up their flank.
A view of the entire Balkan theatre.
That ends this post. Should I commit 1st Army to finish off the Serbs? In the next post. 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.
