The REAL Winter War

NO! I'm not talking about THAT Winter War, I'm going to show you what the REAL one.
So get your winter clothing ready otherwise you might freeze like the Germany that's about to invade my Soviet Union.
This is the hars reality of the actual Winter War in HOI4 Multiplayer!
Back to the Russia aka USSR in this one.
And listen, hear me out, the Winter War doesn't really exist in Hearts of Iron 4 Multiplayer.
Finland always just loses and it's a quick stomp, so the REAL Winter War is where there was dozens and dozens of people fighting and the real one is during Operation Barbarossa against Germany.
I will show you how to play the best Soviet Union in this video, TODAY!

[@AtelierLaoshi]

Thats not true, he threatened to declare on finland if axis took too long to declare so they have to do the historical date instead of scummy late war and just declaring on finland still means he has a war to fight legit. Dankus exploits a lot but this is a rare instance where he isnt.

[@ayathados6629]

@@AtelierLaoshi nah, his behavior in this was GIGASCUMMY. He lawyered against Japan while there was no rule against puppeting China, and then when they used Ichi Go (something that irl happened 1944, while the Japanese were squaring off against the Americans) against the Allies in order to cleverly stack buffs, he claims it's an exploit. Then he tried to get Australia annexed because the player fucked off, meaning that Japan can't ever get compliance or even lower resistance (because the UK is still at war and not capped, making resistance tick up faster than normal)? Nah. That's scumfuck tier, and Dankus knows that because he's done similar things (ala first wave mobilisation and getting 200+ divs, or full annexing Finland as USSR and abusing the broken VP system). Rules for thee, and not for me.

I’ll never understand these meta players not slapping down an infantry frontline.

[@fredriknumse8991]

Without ever having played a competetive multiplayer game, my guess as to why is that tanks will simply just click those inf divisions, so them being there would be no difference as they just instantly die. Therefore it's better to use the industry producing tanks

[@thomasrinschedebartz]

@@fredriknumse8991 the thing is that he was losing because no infantry = no front because he went brain dead on tanks.... But a Focus Just mobilzed a infantry army for him and the other made his divisions cheaper... Really shity If you ask me, he should have Lost because he wasnt doing well before the 2 focus

[@jorgemargenat2277]

@@fredriknumse8991 Meta usually shifts but not building a frontline is because they want to go full mobility and the IC is too much. A few versions ago you would have 10 and 20 widths infrantry as they were just too good at defending, But now with the supply issues and the weight of the tank divisions you cant afford to field enough divisions or you would risk to eat all the supply in the zone. Of course this change from tag to tag.

[@fredriknumse8991]

I can't remember if TFB (the mod they use) implements this as well, but I know most mods change Spain's colors so that the Spanish player's color is always the same, regardless of which side they align with, so it swaps back and forth depending on which side they align.

Historical fact: Finland lost the Winter war, but people still see it as a finnish victory

[@michael522]

it was a pyrhic victory for the soviets

[@dwarow2508]

@@michael522 It was literally a total victory for the Soviets

[@philstory2556]

@@dwarow2508 It was not, the Soviets intended on fully controlling the entirety of Finland. They lost an incredible amount of manpower, and material, for some slivers of land. You cannot argue that they intended anything less than conquering all of finland, otherwise the creation of a Finnish Government under Otto Kuusinen, titled the Finnish Democratic Republic, would have been nonsensical. Especially in the context that after the winter war, the FDR was completely abolished, and Otto was instead placed at the head of a "Karelo Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic". Finland was intended to be a communist buffer state in the same capacity as Mongolia, and the later eastern Bloc. The Soviets objectively failed to make these plans a reality, therefore their victory was minor, whereas by having preserved independence, it can be seen much more as a Finnish victory.

[@dwarow2508]

@@philstory2556 It objectively was. The Soviets only intended to capture Karelia. Their losses are completely irrelevant. And in return they recieved 3 times the land they originally asked for. You cannot argue that the intended to capture anything more than Karelia, otherwise the original Soviet negotiations which lasted 2 years and their offer to even give the Finns twice the land in return as well as the whole idea of the USSR settling for the peace offer when they easily could just annex all of Finland would have been completely nonsensical. The Finish government was not specifically created lmfao. It fled from Finland to the RSFSR in 1921 and remained there. It ruled the Karelian SSR following the winter war. Otto Kuusinen was the head of the exile government for decades longer than the idea of engaging against Finland even existed. Especially in the context that the government was literally installed as the leadership of the Karelian SSR. Finland was never intended to be controlled by the USSR. The Soviets objectively achieved more than they intended to achieve in the first place, therefore it was a total victory, whereas Finland, having failed to achieve any of their goals, lost across the board especially since it's independence was never threatened in the first place.

[@hopfinatorischerkuchenkrieger]
