Crushing the Allies in May 1936 - Hoi4 Germany Speedrun Commentary

Рет қаралды 721,669

Жыл бұрын

Hoi4 Germany speedrun guide on how to defeat the Allies as fast as possible in By Blood Alone / v1.12. I'm working on a longer video rn, so this is just a quick fix until it's ready.
This Hearts of Iron 4 campaign was played with all DLCs, on Ironman and historical. Technically there's a faster way by waiting for the UKs guarantee on Yugo before declaring, but you'd have to secure a port in Britain and defeat France with a single naval invasion wave of 10 divisions. Doable, but requires a lot of luck and grinding.
Why is Mr Mustache censored? - This is the German version of Hoi4 and it comes like that. And as you know I play without mods.

For those who want to attempt this: You need to have the grindset! Please know that I mean it when I say that there's lots of RNG involved. It's probably the most luck-based run I've done so far. Yugostrat can fail, landing in France can fail, invasion against UK can be blocked. And reloading does NOT yield different outcomes, sometimes even makes it worse! If one of the steps goes wrong, you need to start from the beginning again. I'm more than happy to help with questions, but do not assume that this will work on your first attempt. Some tips: Scout ahead with submarines to see which ports are garrisoned. The divisions don't shuffle around that much and you can always change the targeted provinced with the 'edit order' button before launching the invasion. Just be careful to not accidentally delete the invasion order right before the war and losing all planning progress. (Thank you, Mariusz Wojcik!) You can make it easier on yourself by targeting French ports specifically and have reinforcements ready in the Channel. You can achieve that by asking Italy for Mil Access and sending divisions to one of their ports. Time it so that they are in the Channel when your invasions make landfall. You than just have to reroute them to the captured port. And, just in case, saving and reloading does not change the outcome. The French divisions only have different positions if you restart from scratch. You can circumvent RNG by aiming the first invasion against the UK and dealing with France in a different way, for example paras to take a French port after the UK has fallen. In order for that to work you need to wait a couple of hours after getting the war goal on Yugo to let the UK guarantee them.

In order to pump up faster the number of the army in the field or numeber of the spam spam units you can convert infantry into panzer first and then back to the infrantry as panzer uses less inftantry equipment than cavalary. The draw back is bigger lost on experience. The spam deployed early can be as well converted immidietly into panzer and then back to the infantry. by doing so you can send more units to Ethopia and increase a bit word tension faster.

Took me plenty of attempts to succeed, but a concentration of forces always works better. You can spread the invasion across multiple provinces, but then you only have few divisions to push towards VPs. You can make it easier on yourself by targeting ports specifically and have reinforcements ready in the Channel. You can achieve that by asking Italy for Mil Access and sending divisions to one of their ports. Time it so that they are in the Channel when your invasions make landfall.

@m3an Жыл бұрын

There's plenty of RNG involved and as I've stated, the position of French divisions is what makes or breaks the run quite often. Try to concentrate motorized and some infantry at a single province with a port adjacent that you capture as well. And than speed towards VPs. But it's vital to also stage feint attacks or you'll get caught quickly. Alternatively, wait until the UK guarantees Yugo as well, stage a naval invasion into the UK first instead of France and launch paratroopers into France after you've taken the UK. Much more reliable, but takes a bit longer because of the para research.

@@MrSADFART It's very situational. Sometimes there's a wide gap which you can just rush through like in my example, but often you have to improvise on the spot, pin divisions that would otherwise block a unit of yours on its way to an important VP. You can also send in more divisions once you've secured a port, ideally they're already close by otherwise it takes too long. You can achieve that by asking Italy for mil access and send divisions towards one of their ports. Time it so that the reinforcements are in the channel already when your divisions make landfall in France.

Did you reload six times from a certain save or restarted from the beginning six times? I've collected some notes in the sticky comment under this video for people who want to attempt this. Reloading never changes the outcome so if the French divisions are placed unfavorably, either restart or adapt the strategy a little.

@@sarahd4784 I haven't tried without DLCs so I can't say for sure. But it shouldn't effect the placement of the AI from my understanding, at least not for France. Do you spread your divisions out equally or focus certain provinces? There are some spots that usually are not defended and allow for a quick drive towards the main VPs. Alternatively, you can just split the war into two and use the divisions that are prepping for the UK to reinforce the naval invasion against France. For the optimal outcome, get mil access from Italy and send the reinforcements to an Italian port after the invasion has launched. That way the reinforcements travel more or less parallel to your invading divisions and can be rerouted to a captured port. If they are too fast, you can send them back and forth between German and Italian ports until you'e taken a port. Justify a war goal against a democratic nation before the war against France ends, prep naval invasions into the UK, prelaunch them when ready and declare immediately after the war goal is ready and the UK guarantee is in place.
