Axis United Front - Hoi4 MP In A Nutshell

[@Bokoen1]

Longest video yet. Hope you guys enjoy! Also can’t believe genkar stayed on Finland even though he was capped in 42. Also don't get used to long videos. This one is close to 22 minutes because of the content in that specific game. Edit: For those shitting on Thomas here’s some explanation. Thomas promised not to micro the eastern front because it was new USSR players. Thomas’s coop wasn’t up for the task alone(which also wasn’t fair and that’s on me) so after a year or two of him getting shit on, Thomas stepped in and helped.

Wtf was up with Germany in this game? People were malding at them and germany literally says nothing. It's like they were deadass afk as Germany

[@SpiffSpaff]

they forgor to micro the conversation

[@fulcrum2951]

@@SpiffSpaff implying it was unintentional

[@chrystales6169]

Pressure I suppose. Getting shouted at for hours probably made them afraid to do or say anything, locking up their game performance. I say this because they were still relatively talkative at the start, but by the end they were dead silent. It's really evident in the large Mediterranean naval battle, where not a single word was spoken despite everyone screaming at them.

[@damianp4451]

There were ups and downs in the story. Relationships were made and relationships were destroyed, there were Villains and there were Heroes. However, in the end one thing we can all agree on is where the fuck was Germany this game?

[@ihatesovietderp2268]

Right? Both germanys aren’t even saying anything

This is probably the best bokoen video to date. Between Thomas completely throwing the game and Italy and Japan carrying Europe on their backs with blood, sweat and absolute sheer adrenaline while Spain held Africa and helped in D day, Hungary helped D day and the eastern front and Romania basically solo held the eastern front. FOR OVER A YEAR. The entire axis squad chadded up so god damn hard and if germany was at least doing anything other than sit still they would've dominated that game

[@Shayrin2]

Fantastic longer vid, love it. Thanks for the hard work Bo, it was amazing !

[@elbeto191291]

Yeah, this is probably Bo's best Hoi4MP in a nutshell ever. The arguing, the throwing, the back and forth invasions and the seemingly impossible victory this CLUSTERFUCK OF AN AXIS got. It's just unbelievably good

[@_Meres]

This is the best episode I've seen during my YEARS of watching this series every day a new one comes out. An absolute rollercoaster of emotions with a constant uncertainty of which driving force would prevail, the german incompetence or the combined axis resolve even with all the drama. 10/10

This is literally every axis member merging their single braincells into one collective consciousness, only to have it tear itself apart as they collectively lose their shit, only to reunite and pull off the final victory!

[@commiethonk6026]

20 minute episode? Now this puts a smile on my face

[@HDreamer]

Could have been 2 hours, this game had that much content.

[@buddermonger2000]

You know with the exception of Germany this was the most competent axis ever. If there was ever a way to fight a coalition war it was this. Japan uses Manchukuo to unite China and help Siam take India to Iran, takes Australia, and then gets shipped off to Europe to help repel a D-Day invasion in the West as well as fight in the East. Oh and of course guard Italy in the Mediterranean. And of course Siam and China are helping in the East as well. And in Europe you have Spain helping out in the East as well, Italy guarding the Atlantic and fighting off D-Day invasions, and Romania basically holding that Eastern front mostly by itself until reinforcements arrived from East Asia. I don't know how else you genuinely try to team up to take on the world because this is how you do it.

[@stali908]

i was expecting a coupe from all the minours too take germanys stuff but this ended better then expected. Hands down the MVP Award goes to Golden for saving you guys. Keep uo the work lads your vid are always the funniest when it comes to you guys' banter.

[@Boxghost102]

I consider this video a direct sequel to "They can't D-Day" due to both their long lengths, improbable axis victories, and starring Golden as the main character.

[@swiftysalad9086]

Watching Goldens stream on this was insane, he kept pulling shit from his ass and it was working everytime

[@zacharyhill4015]

Though historians of the day may say that the loss of German high command should have resulted in an axis loss and the resulting eastern reinforcements nothing less than a miracle one must remember that it was a combined effort. From Romainian doctrine of "not one step back, only forward into hell" to the single biggest naval battle in world history from the Japanese in the Mediterranean. With of course the herculean logistical feat of moving all the infantry forces of the minor western axis powers between not only the Russian hordes but the western allies unwavering determination to free Europe. It is not hyperbole to state this war was not won by a single action as one might think of in say a sprint. But a marathon of impossible and frankly insane actions which would have seen lesser commanders break from stress. When we look back and call this a World War one need look no further then the previous records stated to see how this war above all others will stand the test of time as one that will remain unforgettable.

[@pixelatedfox7002]

Honestly this is probably my favourite bokoen Hoi4 video of all time, and will probably always be. The fighting in this video is the most intense i've ever seen in a Hoi game, even the endsieg mod looks tame compared to this. Great video, 10/10, would take my navy off strike force again.
