Crushing the Allies in May 1936 - Hoi4 Germany Speedrun Commentary

[@dvtch]

i rush germany and poland as ussr at mid-late 1937 and this man defeats the allies without paratroopers at mid 1936

[@khongo1018]

I tried to do this and Germany eventually knocks out my airforce and my units bog down. Any advice you can give on units and production?

Array Spiking: because world tension value and associated data is stored as a list, one source country can create multiple entries in the world tension list, instead of overwriting previous value.

[@m3an]

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.

[@cryptjet4169]

to anyone who is trying this in elite difficulty: it's possible, but it will be slightly slower due to the reduced political power gain and production efficiency cap (i have tried this strat in elite, it works but like m3an mentions it is quite rng heavy)

[@tapio1989]

THIS IS CRAZY :D I am 840H in hears of iron and dam i soooo bad still .... Well i been playing it On / off for kind of nearly 5 years BUT this video is NUTS :D i love it

[@reedeek1473]

Impressive work! What run would you suggest for a new runner to try with less RNG?

[@MistaFadora]

Im having a problem wherein the uk joins the allies but doesnt join the war which makes it so that they get naval supremacy first and then joins the war, not giving me that small window of opportunity to invade them.

[@m3an]

@@MistaFadora Might be that they finally fixed it. I'll look into it later today.

[@evill01]

I just defeated the allies as Italy in January 1937 thinking I was fast and then I see this lol

[@reiforsale2]

As Italy, that’s impressive considering that you played the most goofy country ever

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.

[@strake3484]

With the old version , I think the one before this , sweden was for some reason considered a major nation and I abused it and kept conquering more and more countries but I honestly didn't know you can make Belgium the leader of the allies . Imagine Luxembourg 😅
