Prussia - HOI4 - Serbian Sunset

07 Nov 1912: This is what Eastern Europe looks like now. Germany received most of Poland.
I launch an attack south of the main thrust in order to pin down the enemy divisions and prevent them reinforcing the defenders in the Ardennes.
My division in Palau is still there...
I decide to commit 5 divisions from 1st Army to take Belgrade.
The battle south of Nis will soon be over.
I also intend disengaging 3 divisions from this cross-river attack and marching them around the enemy's flank.
11 Nov 1912: The operational plan for all 8th Army units.
12 Nov 1912: An new armoured car is available.
I choose to research Entrenching Battalions next.
High Seas Fleet is the next project to be completed.
I make many improvements to the vehicle....
….then it goes into production.
Finally I order 9th Army to join the Ardennes attack from the east and south.
14 Nov 1912: In Serbia we are make excellent progress. We are closing in on Belgrade from many directions.
The United Baltic Duchy is offering us 2 divisions and of course we accept them.
I'm creating a new army with those foreign troops because they alone need more training.
I order 10th Army to Strasburg.
17 Nov 1912: In Serbia it's Game-Over.
There it is. Serbia has lost 107K soldiers - that's more than Austria-Hungary.
A convenient place for a pause. 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?

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.
