Prussia - HOI4 - The New Order

11 Aug 1913: After two years of war fought around the globe the guns are silent as of the 11th of August 1913. The clear winners are the Central Powers but the Entente was not defeated. The resentment is deep especially in France which has lost more territory to Germany. The biggest loser is the Russian Empire which no longer exists, the Tsar has abdicated and former territories are now independent nations, puppets of other powers or have been annexed by former enemies.
Germany has gained Poland in the east while Lithuania and the United Baltic Duchy are puppets. In the west Flanders has been annexed as well as the French region Vosges while Wallonia is now a puppet.
Austria has gained territory too. Not only SE Poland but all of Tyrol and Venetia. 
In Africa Germany has gained the Belgian colonies as well as Walvis Bay from the UK....
….furthermore it gained French Morocco.
Austria Hungary has also gained North Borneo - don't ask me why.

As Germany my main goal now is to modernize the Armed Forces and to build a strong global economy. This post serves to show the outcome of the Great War as some people already call it. Germany alone had ca:700,000 casualties on all fronts but it also emerged as the strongest power in the world. If there was a winner then The German Empire.

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?

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)

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.
