Hearts of Iron 2 Thread

[Krauter]

I remember there being a few discussion on Hearts of Iron 2 Multiplayer as well as single player campaigns? But I can't find the thread anywhere..

Anyways, because of this I figured I'd start one for any who still play it. What are your favorite countries, tactics, etc?

I'm currently in the April 1941 playing the Soviet Union, Germany hadn't attacked me yet, so I decided to initiate. I had a large infantry force in the Baltics (took them over in early 1940) and kept launching attacks against East Prussia as well as into Western Poland. With a large motorized and Armored Force, I punched through Romania (which I had annexed, also in 1940) into Hungary and managed to annex them just in early March. Now working on Slovakia.

My plan is to keep the majority of Germanies large divisions tied up north with the continuous infantry attacks while my armoured cores punch through Slovakia and eventually up into Southern Poland and drive them all the way to the Baltic Sea to create a giant pocket. With my infantry continuously tightening it from the Baltic States and the Romanian reserve forces coming up to finish the job. I also attempted a naval landing in Trondheim to cut off the german forces stationed near the Norwegian/Finnish border, but they were intercepted and sank . 6 of my most experienced Infantry (Mountain) Divisions, who'd fought valiantly to capture Finland, drowned in the Barents Sea off of Murmansk.

Cheers! Share your stories if you have them.
