Prussia - HOI4 - Q3, 1919 (I)

01 Jul 1919: I assign Panzerarmee 1 to Armeegruppe Balkan. That is now 5 armies around Austria-Hungary. I intended kicking them out of Central Powers in Jan 1920.
03 Jul 1919: I continue deploying more air wings in this theatre.
I also deploy more fleets around the world. Here I create 4 new U-Bootdivisionen and deploy them to East and West Africa.


I'm also deploying divisions to replace Austrian units which will disappear next January.



More infrastructure is planned.
16 Jul 1919: Kuwait is loaded with British troops so I need a counterforce.
22 Jul 1919: Done.




I won't build these....

08 Sep 1919: I need to maintain a strong and modern Kriegsmarine.

09 Sep 1919: Another building slot is created in the Far East this time.
I'm annoyed that the game keeps crashing in November because I was wondering what Mussolini would do. 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...
