Prussia - HOI4 - October 1919

01 Oct 1919: I assign all the foreign troops in Armee APAC to the border with Siam. The new Kolonial-Divisionen will fill the locations which they have vacated.

05 Oct 1919: A Russian fleet anchored at Toulon.....
The 5 armies of Armeegruppe Balkan.
An overview of Ports and Port Construction in the region.
Both 1st and 2nd Schlachtschwadronen have mixed battleships. I'm ordering them to port so that we can shuffle them around.
More construction plans in Afrika.


I deploy 1st-line troops to Indochina.

21 Oct 1919: I created a new Marine Division....
….and start recruiting the first two of a planned total of 6 divisions.
I want to dispose of 'old' aircraft....
….so I use Lend Lease to dump some in the Baltic States. 


27 Oct 1919: Armee Indochine on its way.

31 Oct 1919: I'm impatient and I want Heavy Industry III early.

That's all the Kolonial-Divisionen for Africa being trained for their mission....
….and that was my last screenshot. I think that I can safely say that the German Empire prevailed. Check out my new campaign as the Ottoman Empire to appear soon. Auf Wiedersehen!

Italy - HOI4 -Setting up (I)

Image
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 ...

Germany - HOI4 - A New Perspective

Image
    What I like about playing Germany is thanks to Versailles Treaty all German forces actually begin in Germany. No colonies, no foreign wars so no scrolling around the world. A recent update to HOI4 introduced a Focus Tree which allows an alternative path for Germany without Hitler. Selecting Oppose Hitler plunges Germany into a civil war; Wehrmacht versus Nazis. If the Wehrmacht prevails the options pictured below are available. Unfortunately Germany can't go around conquering Europe instead has to wait for the war to come to him - somewhat boring. This is the more 'historical' path, i.e. the Nazis are in power and have more opportunities coupled with more disadvantages. Only a handful of nations like Nazis... So let's try to make the most of this dilemma. (I won't be giving such a detailed narrative in this campaign - hopefully those who have followed my previous campaigns have already grasped the basics.) First I need to set up my research project...
