I did got this achievement in a very weird way. The achievement only requires you to complete the Ostland Focus and occupy Lappland, so you can get the achievement without taking out your neighbors. I completed the Focus and immediately justified on Sweden with World Tension at 24%, it went down to 23% then Italy completed their Claims on Yugoslavia focus and spiked World Tension up past 25% meaning Sweden got guaranteed by UK. I cancelled my justification and did the focus that gave we war goals on my neighbors resulting in me getting Lithuania but Estonia got guaranteed by UK. Germany then attacked Poland and Poland didn't join the Allies, meaning WW2 didn't start because UK couldn't guarantee Poland because it didn't have the Political Power to guarantee Poland 'cause it had already guaranteed 2 nations earlier meaning its guarantee cost was much higher than normal. This meant that Germany had to go to war with the Allies by manually justifying on the Benelux countries and doing focuses from their Focus Tree. Thanks to the guarantee on Estonia, the Allies went to war with the USSR before Germany.

I would love to see the Finno-Ugric path for Estonia, as it is very based as well

Poland having a bear as the leader is the most based path in the Dlc 🤑

“Look how many people they dragged here to die.” - Every Finn - 1940

'We now know when stalin is taking a shit' and 'we can now eat Lenins body' are two of the funniest jokes I've heard on this channel and in one video; keep up the good work!

What are other based paths in No Step Back?

I played as ostland trying to get that one achievement. Ostland is actually pretty fun Edit: I also made sure to limit fascist popularity so i didn’t go through a civil war

He really made TNO Russia in vanilla 💀

the achievemtn is an extremely obscure refrence to swedish cheese. The name is "This achivement is cheesy" whichspeaks fpr itself. The requirments are that you form ostland which litteraly means cheeseland in swedish and control västerbotten which is in sweden. In sweden västerbotten ost i quite famous.

In alternative universe: Reichskommissariat Ostland, becomes independent in 1942 and conquers Both Axis and Soviets and forms the Ost-Empire.

Stalin must have gotten a paranoia boost when he saw Ukraine become a 'country' on the map after the war with poland

The Baltic Unitary State flag appears to be a belt buckle…….they really were easily impressed back then, weren’t they?

Wait there is more things than just trains in this dlc? I've spent like 100 hours watching trains i had no idea.

I find it ironic how Latvia got a bunch of content surrounding Ostland when it was historically mainly Lithuania that was the focus of Ostland starting during WW1.

All not-so-quiet on the Ostfront.

historical accuracy at its best ngl

Now that we have Ostland Belgium needs a Westland focus branch! + Südland for Swiss and Nordland for Denmark :P

I got this achievement, it is actually very cheesy, because when you go down the Ostland focus tree it's easy for you to not generate any world tension whatsoever, because the territories become your cores before you "retake them" so after the Polish war you should take only core states keeping the WT % caused low. After the war with the soviets you liberate some republics reducing the WT even more on your part. Then you go down the middle of the focus tree leave axis and join allies (they will accept as you caused 0 WT) declaring the war on Sweden simultaniously. Sweden won't join the axis, as you won't need to call the allies in. So you end up with the whole sweden occupied and NOT AT WAR with allies nor axis. Cheesy it is.

I searched for a China video but a Latvia video from a person with an awesome accent works too. I will subscribe.

I'm sure in the next DLC paradox will ad shovel upgrades

I love how Sanitationist Poland owns what would be Nowa Polska at the end of the video

greater Lithuania seems fun maybe give that a try?

So you've heard of Thunder Cross Latvia... But have you heard of Thunder *Dragon* Latvia?

Son:mom can i have RK Ostland Mom:we have RK Ostland at home RK Ostalnd at home:

In my experience, it’s very easy to beat the Soviets in No Step Back. I played two different Poland games and 1v1ed them with 20 width infantry and no planes. I beat them by ‘42 both times with like 10:1 KD.

MG: *Dismembers the USSR as Ostland and creates a Fascist Russian Empire* TNO gamers: *FUNNI CLOCK MAN NOISES INTENSIFY*

Seeing this focus Tree makes me want a "The Old ways -> State Paganism -> The Wath of the Old Gods -> Avenge the Ancestors" path for Germany and Scandinavia.

Last time I commented on the Russia video it was one of the most based paths and that is because this is truly the most based path!

6:41 wow i have a impression of deja vu it is the tno border

Rip Bulgaria you will be missed

yass, new video from our general, keep it up sir!

I don't need to buy no step back as my favourite youtuber plays for me

The DLC slowly but surely making alternate timeline mod into the base game

Well, i'm not a math guy, but in nsb i use 18/3 infantry which are 45w and they just completely destroy everyone, and for tanks i usually go with a 44w unit

Jeez, this channel grew so fast. I remember 10k

Lenins body is in moscow, laying near the Red square

9:17 finland always accsepets the demands in my games

MG: "Their furries" Me: "burn them, burn them to the ground!"

All Hail to the Thunder Cross

All soviet republics: *being set free by Ostland* Kazakhstan: Am I Borad to you?

Great video!

Just wanted to say your videos and voice are very soothing

Ostland? More like- I actually can't think of a joke for this. Good video as always, MG.

Day 31 Latvians want an artillery only Slovakia world conquest, and you do not want to anger the Latvians.

I love the self-aware self-loathing of most map game content creators 😂

Lowkey I think 9-2 work really well. (9 inf 2 art)

Ostland in swedish means cheese land which is pretty funny

"This is truly the dlc experience" lol

Fellow hoi4 enjoyers rejoice.

You probably already covered how to play as the Soviet Union, get Trotsky and not have the country absolutely suck to play as after you win the civil war; since even with AA and AT I get steamrolled by Germany; but I would hope to see a video on the revamped Trotsky.

The based general has a new video, how based

Basedness goes brrr after watching this video but I always expected the epikness in ur video love ur videos

Nice thicc border you got there

Your pronunciation of ''Pērkonkrusts'' and ''Celmiņš'' cracks me up.😂

1:53 thanks, you killed me again

Best borders I have ever seen in hoi4

12:43 tno be like

I've tried playing Ostland, and I can never seem to get the manpower required to field an army that large. Unless he just went straight to scraping the barrel, but that doesn't seem worth it. I'm not sure, unless there is something I'm missing? It just seems really confusing as to how he had the manpower for all of that...

"Ostland" means cheese land in swedish

In norwigian Ostland= Cheeseland

Im seriously laughing on the way he speaks XD

Make Tuva great again!

MountainGeneral, for a moment I thought that you were playing Tno! You scared me :(

Ello there general, it's time to look at a changing map for a few hours

I usually use 25 widht infantry with single artillery

"THERE IS A LIMIT TO HOW CAN YOU BE BASED ON THE INTERNET"

The sheer stupidity of paradox ai is amazingly displayed in this video. Nice play through!

I guess the civil war was...a Thunder Cross Split Attack

2:54 He really do be saying thunder boobs, based.

b a s e d as potatos

Its been years but still mg hasn't done a RED FLOOD IRAN COMUNIST PATH

Cool content from Romania 🇹🇩❤️

riktigt gott med ost

Maybe I will try Latvia for the first time now

The Eastlands are opening up for the Kaiser

Sure, you may be a ally with Mr. Mustache Man, but I guess it is your best friend if your Ostland.

can you tell me what division templates do you generally use?

Will you try the releasable russian states?

I don't think the AI guarantee against justifications for core state outside of circumstances like ww2

How did you get so much units? Each time I play Latvia, I have almost no man power :'(

Ostland means cheese county in danish

Ah yes, original sound track land.

Ostland? More like Livonia 2: Electric Boogaloo

iS tHIs A TNO reFeRneCe?.?

What music is playing in the background?

Did you spike world tension so that the Cezcks got guaranteed and the Munich conference then didn't go historically?

good video

12:43 Oh no. He made tno

You know what’s base, Mountain General. You and your sexy encirclements

No. Baltics.. what are you doing?

You don’t actually have to do the “join Germany” thing, they let you join the axis either way. The state paganism path is more fun in my opinion.

Teutonic baltic

Is the flipside a Fortnite reference? lmfao

Those borders are hideous I love it

Long Ukraine is one of the most cursed things I've seen.

13:03, sweet

As a latvian you saying Pērkonkrusts makes me shivver of how bad is your pronauncination.

>Nova Polska Nice >Not releasing Alash Orda Yikes

As long as you don't visit Stirland you're ok
