Fun Fact: If you ever want to find a Belgian in a crowd just talk about Liege, the Belgian will immediately attempt to call it a shithole. It's just a fact of their biology, an involuntary reaction.

It's also the place where the germans were held up in ww1 delaying them and giving the french more time to prepare so liege is probably the reason ww1 was an entente victory

I get the sinking feeling as I hear Bittersteel say: "I'm ignoring air, because I can do nothing in the air". Like I'm sure that's the line uttered near the start of about 70% of the disaster saves he gets, and the reason why they ended up disaster saves. Like that Belgian one. Heck just from my own experience even having something like 200 quality fighters sticking it out against seemingly overwhelming odds makes a huge difference compared to "I completely gave up even contesting the skies".

Hi Bittersteel, a nice tip is that you dont need AT against germany in singleplayer beacuse AA has enough hard attack a piercing to pierce the german tanks even in the endgame you dont need it beacuse advanced AA has like 90 piercing which is enough and you could have gotten more units out by war...

The US didn't get called into the allies because Japan never attacked the allies, Japan is meant to be the common enemy that justifies the US joining the faction instead of making it's own with Mexico The idea is that Japan is meant to declare on Philippines and a few weeks later declare on the Dutch East Indies/Netherlands who should be on the Allies by 1941 If you kept playing sooner or later Japan will declare on you, and if you switch back to democratic the US will ask you to join your faction

Yeah I had this issue as well. My theory is that it happens if the enemy has occupied the port that the ships will go to at some point during the war it doesn't work. Even if you have retaken that province. I had this happen to me as Red Czechs I lost my Yugo ports, but took them back and capped Axis. I couldn't take Navy despite having owned ports from a previous peace deal. I restarted and made sure to never let Italy into Yugo, then I was able to take the ships in the peace deal.
