I too tried to do Super Italy. Unfortunately I made one mistake: turning off Historical A.I.. Four days after declaring war on Yugoslavia they put Tito in charge and joined the Commintern. Meaning: France, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and the U.S.S.R. were now all in the same faction. Luckily I took mainland France out before the Soviets could reinforce it but the Red Army smashed into my eastern flank very effectively and pushed my back to Venice. Luckily Germany demanding the Sudetenland pulled some troops off the front line allowing me to push them back into Yugoslavia. Of course all of this was for not as Republican Spain won the Spanish Civil War and turned into a Soviet Puppet; joined the war and flooded into occupied France bringing them back and I just quit at that point. No, I can't send this in as a Disaster Save as it was from before No Step Back DLC came out so it's now a broken save file.

In Italy's defense, they knew they couldn't go to war until '43, but Germany was insistent on starting the war several years before its ally was ready and still demanding well over a million Italian guns. If the Axis wasn't getting 25% of all its guns from Italy and instead gave Italy the needed resources to build up, they could have been less laughable

If you are going straight into building mils you should set your starting mils on equipment that is already in production since it will start at maximum efficiency. Then set the new equipment (trains, etc) for the new incoming mils to grow into and start their efficiency. This way you'll end up with more guns, support equip, etc.

@22savageman Жыл бұрын

It takes over two months to build the first mil. Probably fine for the trains, but if you didn't put anything on artillery you would lose out on 2 months of artillery production and efficiency growth (12% efficiency roughly) which could really delay adding artillery support in.

i doubt anyone is having problems recreating this because it is a really sound strategy. but just in case i found you can set up 1 full army of 24 (9/1)on the French boarder and have the rest in reserve right behind the line. leave about 6 divisions in africa for encirclements only, 1 troop per tile on the bottom 2 and four on the top. encircle the African troops then retreat back to the lybian border and repeat. you do that to thin out the French lines on the main land. France will be bashing its head against your alpine lines going nowhere. just sit and wait, your troops and cas will demolish the french troops. the moment the french stop attacking the alpes you rush all your troops to the boarder and punch through the south like bitt3rsteel did.( you don't need to punch through the south because france will be so low on equipment but that's what i did) 'Roma Invicta'
