Prussia - HOI4 - Unrestricted Warfare (III)

02 Feb 1913: I add another 4 divisions from 5th Army to support the Ardennes attack - down to 50 days now.
12 Feb 1913: An amphibious assault on Palau. Let's check my unit in Africa.
In Nigerian the Cameroun division is out of supplies and can't move.
14 Feb 1913: No change in Montenegro although the French now have 19 divisions there.
They sent us Cossacks? Wow!
18 Feb 1913: The 6 Ersatz-Divisionen have finished training and I assign them to 10th Army.
22 Feb 1913: The British have lost another merchant in the Eastern North Sea. Why was it there in the first place?
02 Mar 1913: Just what we need. Suffragette Demonstrations.
The focus Equipment Effort has been completed. Good timing.
My next choice is Fighter Focus. We could use a modern fighter.
02 Mar 1913: The Entente defence force is now only 16 divisions. We are making progress.
06 Mar 1913: We can finally convert to a War Economy. That gives more CFs for Construction.
We now have 58 CFs supporting our Construction effort.
07 Mar 1913: No visible progress at the southern end of the front. We need a breakthrough in the north which could require the French to transfer troops from here.
10 Mar 1913: The Italians only have a defence army stationed in the north.
I create a new air wing in Moselland.
15 Mar 1913: Franz Josef offers us another 20 divisions and I accept.
This time there really are 20 divisions.
I order General Ludendorff's new 3rd Army to Bitburg.
19 Mar 1913: The detailed view of my attack into the Ardennes Forest. Again a wealth of information.
25 Mar 1913: The British have lost another merchant and guess where. I'm told we use them for target practice.
It's not looking good in the Far East but there isn't much I can do.
01 Apr 1913: Casualties are increasing but the ratio is still to our advantage.
The Entente's strength is their navies but since we are fighting a land war it doesn't matter. I'm not fighting a 'world' war, just a European one.
That's all for this post. I've run out of screenshots so I need to go back to the war. Bis bald.

Italy - HOI4 -Setting up (I)

Welcome to a new game as Italy. Unlike Australia, Italy is already at war with Abyssinia, it is a fascist nation and has much larger armed forces. However, Mussolini came to power a dozen years before Hitler and his large military is equipped with WW1 equipment, he has only one good general who can't be everywhere at the same time and Mussolini is an idiot. Not the best pre-requisites to build a global empire. But we have to make do with what we have....so here is Italy at the start. I create an Alpine army and give them a fairly good commander then...  ...order them to a port. They are going to Abyssinia. I grab the rest of the army...  ...assign a lousy commander then...  ...order them to the Austrian border to remind Hitler that we also have plans for the alpine nation. In Eritrea we do the same...  .but this army gets the good general, Giovanni Messe. The Abyssinian troops are red because they are the enemy. Now the same again in Somali...

Germany - HOI4 - Looking Eastwards

Image
18 Nov 1936: Research on Concentrated Industry II has completed. I choose to research the SP-AT Marder II which will make something useful out of my useless Pz. Is and Pz. IIs. 05 Dec 1936: The doctrine Delay is selected. The +15% organization is very useful. I also spend 150 PPs on Henschel tank designers with emphasis on speed and reliability 08 Dec 1936: I upgrade 8 more infantry divisions. 16 Dec 1936: The focus KdF-Wagen is completed. I choose Treaty with the USSR next - a joint tank design venture. I also deploy another 8 infantry divisions. 19 Dec 1936: AT-gun development has been completed. Time to develop a Fallschirmjäger force. 27 Dec 1936: Two fully trained motorized infantry divisions are assigned to Guderian's new Panzerarmee. I say new because the forces used against Austria were barely a Corps-sized unit and in need of reform. A couple of days later the SP-AT Marder II becomes available. I select the doctrine Dive Bombing ...

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...
