I don't play hoi4 as much as I used to but if beating Germany as France over the Rhineland doesn't have an achievement yet, it should be called "Axis denied"

Usually when I do this kind of game, I rush the empty rhineland with motorized and have them grind at the Rhine river to cripple their industry, although it won't probably give your general Adaptable.

If you are grinding terrain trait you can sacrifice 20 MXP to get Theater Training in the officer corp, plus if you have CPs to spare see if you can get Brilliant Strategist generals while still on Grand Battleplan.

Use planes for air superiority, that boosts dominance a bit

Hey man, so I was thinking about it and could I simply line up my troops on the magi not, then using a lot of the army, form a sort of trap and encircle German divs to cheese out the Germans? Cause I’m finding this a bit confusing

[@sejozwak]

you can actually rush them down early

[@user-tz7wy3ub2k]

@@sejozwakI tried a guide by M3an, a speed runner but it didn’t really work out. I couldn’t find any other guides and I’m not all that good so I’m kinda low on options.

[@user-tz7wy3ub2k]

@@sejozwakCan you just summarize the stages of it for me because for some reason every time I try, my motorized can only go as far as the Mosellans, then I’m at a stalemate with the Germans then I get pushed back

Would the dismantle the Maginot decision to build the nacy line quicker be worth it?

[@sejozwak]

I'm not sure you can do it as France, and you really just need like lvl 3 or 4 max in nancy line, if you build it bigger, they simply won't attack again

[@immka_7785]

You could have put the cavalry as garrison unit and put every colonies in Secret Police ou Local police force it will cost less guns to garrison

[@-John-Doe-]

France‘s interwar FT tank stockpiles + their pure tank template work well for garrisons. FRA has so many reserve battalions you can easily pin GER‘s 24 battalions and stretch out their line. For actual tanks, FRA starts with Medium Howitzers already researched _(much like their Destroyers with 1940 Engine III)_

[@Shadower115]

0 fuel most of the war. Oof. Good job still. Might have made the combat a bit easier if everything which needed fuel had it. ^^

[@sejozwak]

Just planes really, I bought it later in game, troops using fuel are only slower

[@janys6502]

So there are a few variations, we have the encircle one which focuses on pulling back to encircle the german army, famously used by dark bhuddist in his fight against the hochmeister AI. There also is the naval invasion one, infamously used by me, but the ai has a few moves to counter that and usually sees them (unless youre playing something like stöckfißh 3)

Don't they become part of allies upon declaration by Germany, so even if you occupy them you will just liberate them? If you want to form EU do it through fascist Britain, it's the least hassle

@@sejozwak its the easiest war possible in the start of the game, you just throw some divisions in the Maginot and push with your light tanks and motorized, the Rhine is demilitarized until the war starts so you pour divisions in and the Germans cant do shit, if you are trash enough to reach a stalemate, naval invade them, your army is over twice the size of theirs
