Prussia - HOI4 - Q1, 1919

01 Feb 1919: I stop the production of Armoured Cars. We should have enough until a new model arrives.
There are also enough heavy tanks to convert the 7 Panzer-Divisionen in Panzerarmee Maghrib to the new design.
They need training because of all the new equipment.
10 Feb 1919: The focus Pilot Formation has been completed.
I want the extra research slot so I select Infrastructure Effort IV.
14 Feb 1919: The Arabischer Flotta is placed on patrol in the Arabian Sea. I need to separate the U-Booten but that can wait. They are restricting the range of the surface ships.
I order 1st Panzerarmee to Thessaloniki.
16 Feb 1919: The research for the doctrine Naval Convoy Escort has been completed.
I proceed with the next doctrine Coordinated Submarines.
19 Fen 1919: I receive the technology Improved Infantry Equipment II....
….and select Signal Company I next. The 20% initiative is important in attacks.
20 Feb 1919: The tactical bomber Gotha G.V has been developed for the Luftwaffe.
I select the doctrine V-Formation next.
I place it in production initially with 10 MFs and I note that Fokker M.5s are still being upgraded to the V.5 A variant.
My research projects as of 20 Feb 1919: Nothing will be arriving for almost 3 months.
I remove Armee Südrussland 1 from Armeegruppe Russland, rename it 6th Army, and order it to Warsaw.
10 Mar 1919: I've overlooked the completion of a Bayern Class battleship so I start 2 new production lines for the Berlin Class battleships and reassign 5 dockyards from elsewhere. When the final Bayern Class is ready for launch 3 of its dockyards will automatically be assigned to the news ships.
22 Mar 1919: I create a new template for a New Kolonial-Division by adding a Siege Artillery battalion and changing the infantry battalions to reequipped infantry. That's one way of using the surplus Siege Artillery. :)
I note that the UK....
….Austria-Hungary....
….and Italy are all upgrading their armed forces, i.e. planning nothing political, so there is nothing to be concerned about.
28 Mar 1919: I expend 100 PPs to create a new building slot, this time in Tunisia.
30 Mar 1919: I deploy a large Luftflotte in Albania.
04 Apr 1919: Finally I deploy 2 CAS air wings to Wallonia.
The Global Review. No real change
I now have 1 fleet more than the UK and the US still has no aircraft deployed, (they may have some in reserves).
That's the major changes in the 1st Quarter of 1919. What will the 2nd Quarter bring? Bis bald....

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...

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...

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 ...
