Just don't look this way, because this little pop gun isn't going to do jack against that 10-80mm armour...

Nice race to the coast there. Watch out for Hungary though, it is the sleeping giant. I got Hungary on side before Poland in my latest Mod34 game, only, because I used Hungary to invade Poland from in one direction it would up with Hungary owning most of Poland and consequently annexing them. Novel, annoying though because it means that the ground captured in the current Barbarossa campaign is going Hungarian (Hope the Bitter Peace event gives them to me ) however, it gave me a closer starting line for Barbarossa because the Soviets didn't get the rest of Poland and I didn't get penalised for it because it was the Hungarians who stole it.
It's...different...I'll say...

Hungary in Kaiserreich, without Austria there to keep it on the leash, is even more powerful than it is in the historical games...

yea, Im keeping a watch on it... but the french are starting to show there agression...

currently on the frog front... I have... err im guessing around 100 divisions...

Plus Im thinking of useing that leftover transport group to start a second front on there west cost... Hopefuly splitting there armys... also... Im thinking of being of the defensive for a while, hopefuly wearing there supply, and armys out... also building my forces.... Probably to invade through a gap in the south.

Im building many more infantry and tank units, but thats takeing awhile...

and, heres actualy what the front looks like as of now. (just taken.)


Oah, and just to give them alittle... Uaaahhh... feeling

I like to give them that... Tightening feeling before the war... lol But I insist. Its just a diplomatic mission.. to err, get rid of pirates... (and prepare for da invasion...) that will never err happen.

oah. and @ oberon, yea, eventualy I entend on takeing that whole region eventualy, after france... and after them.... Im guessing ill try to choke and invade britian...

If you have more divisions, the extra front caused by an amphibious invasion could strech the French lines to breaking. But if they outnumber you, deploying reserves there would hurt you more unless they can rapidly exploit the gap and force surrender.

EDIT: Oh, I would start working on the deciphering techs if I were you, will really help determining where best to attack.

yea, Im starting on Deciphering techs... Just started a massive supply build-up, so we dont run out...

Im also working on motorised infantry Land doctorins, and medium tanks...

Ive changed statigies abit... by deploying more infantry to the front, and putting my motorised devisions in the back to hold after the infantry advances...

well, Im starting the war tomorrow afternoon, when I get home. (and acouple more techs.)

Anouther question... How many men does HOI put in a devision/ air division?

Don't know how many are in a division in the game, doesn't really matter though, units are counted at the division level.

Make sure you make good use of HQ units and don't overload your attack beyond the leadership limits.

Unfortunately turtling strategies don't work so good if you ever plan to go on the offensive, defenders can use as many units as they have in the tile to defend with out penalties, while attacking forces are limited by the best commander's unit limit. The AI doesn't tend to attack foolishly from my expirence, so its diffficult to grind them down defensivly.

I would suggest you use blitzkrieg tactics, use armor+mech arty as your spearpoint to punch through advance and encircle, with trailing mechanized/motorized to secure the ground behind the spear, and use basic infantry to clean up the pockets, prefferably with CAS to soften up the enemy first.

Oh and the british navy will eat your pathetic fleet for tea the moment war starts.

Last I would not recommend hitting through the maginot line, that area is heavily fortified and you will need a significant numerical advantage to go through, with air power.

Err, Im playing Keiserreich... which Makes it an entire different story... lol, I have a Very large navy...

Well, The war has started... 1940

Currently have my forces attacking in the south... gonna try to get over the river. Hopeing to take them from the south, and hold a defense in the north... When and if they move troops to the south, Ill take advantage and advance in the north... (hopefuly...)
Sadly, for me. (as you can read.) I didnt really concentrate on fighters at all during the military build up, and mainly on Moble infantry, and tanks...

Well... the first battle of the war... I say we did good, haveing a smaller navy in the place they attacked.... Battle lasted for awhile...

*update, The french are starting to retreat onto there selfs... Lots of units ive seen low on supplys and demoralized...
