Can I Win As The Soviets In The 1939 Start Date?

[@hydronpowers9014]

Can you save Japan as Manchuria while gaining your independence?

[@playinthegame1822]

Good idea!

[@HH-pm6mj]

I actually tried that and it’s actually decently fun because if you do the focus which gives me cores on China if China capitulates Japan gives all of China to you. (The hardest nation in 1939 is menguko)

"I would like Allies to do SOMETHING to help". That thought always summed up Soviet experience for me.

[@Gutenburg100]

That's like every playthrough I see from every KZbinr who does HOI4 lmao. It's always "I'd like to see the allies do something". Then they do nothing until you've depleted the enemy near completely lmao.

To be fair that might be pretty solid RP considering how much Stalin rode Churchill and Roosevelt to open a second front

[@PersonOfEarth117]

@@tglake2894 atleast they invaded Sicily though, you're lucky to have the allies do anything except maybe survive in Greece, like I just played a Soviet game where they only took Africa then did absolutely nothing until I capitulated Germany and Free France was established and only then they sent troops (still got pushed back by vichy though lmao)

[@MrFaorry]

Germany still alive in the Sudetenland after the peace deal, classic HOI4.

[@roadkill6737]

My favorite scenario in the game. Man it’s good to know I’m better than a dude who’s been playing this game for years. But damn it’s fun to watch. Almost played out like the real war.

17:57 Yeah this is incredibly fucking frustrating. Like, did Paradox not even test their own DLC content? Denmark declares war on Germany technically (instead of joining the existing war of the Allies or smth) which pulls in Japan, even against the Soviets. It was annoying me in Road to 56 before, when Finland would start the Continuation War and also pull Japan in. But that's a mod. The way Denmark is handled in the official DLC on historical AI is fucking baffling

[@Elyseon]

Typical Paradox quality.

[@TheAustinWoolShow]

I liked the part where Alex said "it's rambl'in time" and rambled all over the Germans.

[@RubberToeYT]

I’ve never really done 1939 starts but it seems like a good challenge tbf

[@huyhuy3837]

Alex be like >Not building up an airforce/ CAS stockpile for a timing push >Not changing defensive infantry template to offensive ones (at least for one or two armies) >Not building medium tanks >Not making motorised or mechanised divisions Just one of these things would have won the war in 1944. Funny to see how semi-historical this is though (absent the IRL Soviet investment in overwhelming air and good tanks)

[@Carl-Gauss]

11:40 A very controversial choice of words

[@Sir_Humphrey_Appleby]

Wow imagine showing this to a Russian peasant in 1939, with “sausage rolls” being shouted in the background as Alex rambles.

[@marcusappelberg369]

Imagine time travelling to warn Stalin so his nation don't lose 27 million people in the war. To show him your cellphone with documentaries and his own speeches from the war ...

[@Elyseon]

​@marcusappelberg369 Imagine eliminating Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Hirohito, Mao, Ho Chi Mihn and Pol Pot before they start their bullshit.

cant wait for alex to do a hard challenge lmao

[@henrybaxter6047]

Alex showing off his low skill level by struggling with a base game setting as a 'challenge" after 10 years of playing this game professionally on KZbin

[@whitezombie10]

He is clearly declining. He became confident in his competence because of his fame, stopped learning things and became terrible at the game

[@Tux-rs7rp]

I love playing the soviets. I don’t do it from the 39 start because I like to have fun

[@Frozone1998]

alex just like irl soviet high command demanding the allies to do something to peel units off them

[@ahhno4662]

Alex is rocking his Stalin ‘stache

[@Vetiyx]

Can we just appreciate how much alex just rambles our bellies full of content?

I feel like this was the most accurate Soviet Union lol. Like they were just begging for the Allies to do something haha.

[@tilemaxospatsouros6271]

Germany is stronger on the 39 Scenario due to the fact that it starts with Blitzkrieg land doctrine instead of Mobile Infantry which makes things so different. Nowadays AI designs a lot better tanks as well.
