Ottoman - HOI4 - Post-War Reorganization

12 Jan 1913: I order Army Bulgaria to our new border with Austria-Hungary while Army Thrace is sent home to man the old border with Bulgaria.
I also need to relocate my air force. I transfer one wing to Constantinople....
….and a second to Thessaly in Greece.
14 Jan 1913: Taken care of.
15 Jan 1913: I add a Recon unit to my Infantry Division template.
These will probably the last garrison divisions for a while.
I start recruiting 4 Infantry Divisions and arrange their training be in Ankara.
16 Jan 1913: In 2nd Army these four old-style Cavalry divisions are upgraded.
19 Jan 1913: Then 2nd Army is sent to Aleppo.
27 Jan 1913: Time to look at what the other powers are doing. The Austro-Hungarians are right in not trusting Italy.
Germany does need a doctrine.
A navy yes, but not in the Black Sea please....
Routine stuff in Italy....
….and France.
The British appear to be concerned about a German invasion.
I found a couple more Cavalry Divisions which need the upgrade.
07 Feb 1913: I create a 4th Close Air Support wing in Hejaz and place it on anti-ship duties over the Red Sea.
I also send them 4800 Infantry Equipment....
….which they gratefully accept.
The only resources worth grabbing are oil in Romania and Azerbaijan. Both are problematic.
We are only one point behind Austria-Hungary!
Until the next post, folks.

Germany - HOI4 - Damn the Soviets! (II)

Image
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

Germany - HOI4 - Opposing Hitler

Image
14 Sep 1937: The smoke has cleared and I update my Production. I have 57 MFs now but only 4 are being used on the Luftwaffe. Most of my aircraft designs are outdated though so I don't want to waste too much resources on that junk. My Heer (Army) is also short on everything.... That means I can take a shortcut back to the Heimat (home). 22 Sep 1937: The Oppose Hitler focus is completed.... ….no further comment required. That means Nazis versus the German Military Junta (me). We are at war again. I select the focus Reichsautobahn . The good news is that we vastly outnumber the Nazi forces. Unfortunately my forces are all over Europe and forming a frontline will take time which means I shall lose territory for a while. 23 Sep 1937: Reichsautobahn has been cancelled because I don't own some of the territory required. Check out this Army 2 - nothing but conscripts and all in western Germany. Nazis are being purged from my government. Göring, Keitel

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
