Closest I’ve come to becoming one was early on in a Greece campaign where I was punched back to two tiles from Athens and still held the peninsula to the SW. held on for long enough until the Allies started doing D’Days against the Axis

Do Bulgarian people like Tsar Boris? I'm a belligerent American so I would not know

[@Ribarlan]

@@dysphoria_1.040 Yes. Tsar Boris is considered as a benevolent and wise ruler, beloved by the common people. Though his father - Ferdinand, not so much. His blind ambition to create a Bulgarian Empire and rule over the straits plunged Bulgaria into a "national catastrophy".

[@gumduck2504]

The "Pressure the government" decisions remove some autonomy points from your puppets. Don't remember how much it was, but I remember it being a rather substantial amount. If you have a lot of PP they're worth using Edit: it's not substantial. It's 150 autonomy points. Still as Bulgaria you'll be sitting on a lot of PP so they're still worth using

To get your puppets armies out of Poland, you could have just disbanded them which would have returned their control to your puppets who are not in the war and would have just went home. A bit gamey though, I recognise.

I also hate that britain just will not send large amounts of troops to poland and france until around 1941. Sat there with a mostly stable front but still bleeding manpower because the UK doesnt want to stand there and just add to the soft attack for some of the battles

It adds extra range, so you don't have to build as many of your own airports as you push deeper.

[@AssassinAgent]

@@arkanterian4663 less building of airfields isn't the only good thing about drop tanks. That extra range also gives you better coverage of air zones which means highers air mission effiency. And higher air mission efficiency is (almost) the most important stat for air operations

德軍可以這麼強大的原因之一，就是戰爭開始之前就有三個主力國家(幾乎是)被和平的併吞並擁有核心，所以在人力跟工廠方面是多兩步的 再加上基礎戰術，機動作戰的前三項、中三項，是大幅增加基礎能力的，不像其他是只專注在一方面 所以很難進攻德軍，大部分的AI 士兵部屬都有被相當的強化 玩家的作戰策略就很簡單，專注4-8個師的部隊(裝甲)，利用菁英部隊繞後包圍，達到最小的損失與最高的殺傷
