just tried this three times in a row, UK no longer guarantees you which makes it kind of impossible

Also have tried this numerous times. New update makes it impossible.

Well I did eventually take them when I annexed the puppet.

Thanks!

I once tried to survive as poland until 1940. When ussr came in... im pretty much screwed. Not only my equipment was poor, even the level 5 fort that i put in every line of lake was a total failure. AA Static lvl 2 only could do a little help since german got 2000+ fighter, hell ton of bomber, and polish only have a good 200-300. Even some is outdated equipment too. But in the process, i make the allies work a little more easier because how many casualities were added on german side. Trust me, micro management can do nothing except holding them a little longer.

@@danimationd8886 IIRC sate AA won't even attack fighters but instead they will only target bombers.

Maybe because that sounds fucking awful

Defectus Expert did it

Good! That's why I make these video's :-)

Thanks!

I believe there have been a few videos on him already from other youtubers. But several people have hinted that it should be possible to use Pavel to take on the Germans early, which would be cool ofc. I'll look into it, but probably not too soon because its very similar to this video.

@@antasil5768 the main problem is the independence war, I haven’t figuret out how to win without exploits

yeah, by now this is an older video. The German AI has been tweaked over the past year and they do stuff differently. Its become more difficult to actually pull this off now 😞

@@antasil5768 cheers man, I noticed a few things when I kept replaying the scenario, I either had a weapons deficit or something else...

Yeah click for click doesn't work but in broad strokes this still works. I'll update with the AAT changes later on no doubt

I had to google that. I'll put it on the todo list, as the Persian Empire formable. But that may take a while, have to figure out how ;-)

Really? My personal guess is that Wojtek would much rather be outside than in an office ;-)

It's not easy, I'll admit that. You do need to be able to micro manage your troops, but I have a tutorial scheduled just for that. Soon!

Spoiler warning: that wasn't very exciting ;-) (me vs the Allies was though)

@@antasil5768 oh damn, sounds hella fun. Take your time on your video bro!

I'll have a look at it, just because there is not much content out there. I think Sanation is weaker than the rest, and much less crazy. Thus it might be more boring.

@@antasil5768 May be, but there are some interesting options with the constitution buffs

I also play card- and boardgames, so there's the inspiration ;-)

Welcome! Yes, he got an updated portrait in a game update

If I recall correctly, right after the 5th of november act

they're hardcoded to do that in a lot of cases

With the Habsburgs you can get Czechoslowakia early, and thats vital to take on Germany in the early game.

Yeah this is the ultimate Poland strat, apparently it doesn't work anymore in BBA but I plan on making it work! ;-)

@@antasil5768 can you do a new video on poland vs germany and how to annex germany quick?

@@nexor7809 i will certainly try. Will require a bit of research though

there's method to my madness ;-) The Romanian path will be in a next video, hopefully more beginner friendly

@@antasil5768 i can't wait to see it! i followed this guide and i still couldn't defeat germany, they seemed to just steamroll right through the line before i could finish up north. then again, it may be because the allies never guaranteed me for some reason. was i supposed to build up a friendship with them or something? or should i give germany the sudetenland to buy more time and world tension?

I do like my transitions. But I've been fiddling around in my new videos and I believe I've made them less 'in your face'. I do need them I think, because I do a lot of timeskips. Let me know what you think of the transitions in the upcoming France videos please. Thanks!

@@antasil5768 sure

Doesn't really matter but I'd say refuse.

The AI does react though, but its limited. As for the human player, thats up to the human to manage for himself. It would be a good option for MP games I think to not allow the non historical paths as a custom game rule.

Well actually.... I rarely use the 7-2 meta. A lot of people now will tell you there is no one meta, a lot of different approaches work. Just compare Taureor and Bitt3rsteel - two vastly different approaches to templates and they both succeed.

I just used 9 and succeeded, and try using 7-2 in mp, you would be crushed

@@akvon3904 MP is a joke in this game, getting a group competent enough is fucking impossible, no thanks
