Yeah me too. Of all the countries that have a rich history of "what if's" I find the Mexicans to be the most interesting. Their history is quiet messy and they could have easily gone Fascist or Communist at any point even up until the 1960's. So I can see why the developers felt they (and the players) could have a lot of fun with Mexico :)

The only nation where going democratic (historical path) feels super satisfying. You get to mend relations with the usa, nationalise oil fields and fix the mess that is Mexico. Also, most of the leaders have a background description. Best nation by far.

Fantastic guide, as always. Just finished today (0.7% on steam have the Trotsky acheivement!!). Feels really good when you hit that peace deal with the soviets. For those who aren't as good as bitter and don't get as high of war score, the Germans tend to prioritize the northern territories, but I was able to get Sunset invasion by taking the southern Bessibara province connected to the black sea. Hitler basically ignored them for the first few turns, so it might be easier than the Baltic states if you're falling behind.

Great content, have yourself a new sub!

[@idmb22]

Thanks for the guide. I still have not managed it due to RNG not being on my side, like... Spanish civil war always starts late and lasts a lot, even with my divisions encircling the Republicans. Trostky always comes late, very late, like 6 months late. "El Salvador" always joins Japan's Faction, so I decided to ignore it for now. By the time "I am ready", it is mid 1939. On top of that, the US never declares war on me after the Panama Canal incident and to make it even funnier, if I declare war on them, they join the Allies instantly. This achievement is very frustrating due to the very long time and setup it requires, let alone RNG then giving you the middle finger.

Thanks for the great guide! Still works with 1.12.8 (although US is slow to declare war & the war itself is significantly more difficult). However, Trotsky seems to always get killed around October 1941 (probably when the Soviets complete their corresponding focus & mission). This makes the "The New Home of the Revolution" basically unobtainable. Hard to capitulate USSR before this 😁

[@twingo440]

Hm, I have played it today... US did not declare war on me after the boarder clash... Through that I needed 70 days longer and (end 1939) the US joined the allies shortly before surrendering... after defeating the Allies Trotzky was killed while invading the UDSSR FML xD

The problem is you don't have enough guns to do that. The best time to use that strat is if you take the hit on pp gain and wait for Trotsky so you can also get Calles. You will get a civil war with the fat general but he isn't that hard to beat. To do it you disband all your divs so you can have enough guns to do the support the loyalists. Just makes sure you have 5 xp to build a 1 bat div you can spam at beginning of civil war. Just make sure they are ready to deploy when civil war starts and they are cav so you can hit the gaps quick.

It wouldn't be as fun if my game went EXACTLY the same as yours from start to finish.

[@martinaustin6230]

Followed your video for the most part and it worked. Had to save scum a little for US to declare war on me. Also I recommend building a whole bunch of cheap cav divisions to help with encirclements and snaking your way into the victory points once America can't fill their front line. You also have a cavalry genius you can hire, and a cavalry general.

Excellent guide once more. I recently did these achievements, and its funny how we took similar and different approaches. I learned a few new tricks here (waiting for puppets to finish their industry focus for instance), but I prefer my cavalry spam for the US conquest. Question: in almost all my Mexico games, the Allies declare war on the Communist States of America, pretty much out of nowhwere. Didn't see that here at all. Any idea what causes this? I took the USA in an offensive war, not through the Panama decision....

Allright guys, I thought I got good enough to try some of the more difficult achievements without guides, so I've been doing Commie Mexico runs, but it is difficult as hell, so after quite a few runs I went ahead and just checked Bitt3rSteel's vid on it. I followed the guide when I had the idea that the it might be more difficult on the current version of the game so I made it to the version right when Man the Guns came out and taking the USA went as smoothly as it did in the video, so if you're struggling to fight the USA as Mexico, I highly recommend putting the game version back. Not only does the USA not get nearly as many troops, but the old supply system also makes going for encirclements and stuff much easier.

[@Patton1944]

@Cementāriī 🇭🇺 Ironclad. Warning; the ui and menu are from before they reworked them so it can be quite jarring if you started playing after said rework. I know it was for me; I got the game after Battle for Bosporus came out.

Fantastic guide. Had a little RNG issue where the US wouldn't declare war during the Panama border conflict. On the third try they finally did. Also worth noting that you NEED the US navy, you can't get naval range from Guam into the Sea of Japan except with the large US capital ships to launch that naval invasion.

Another tip for dealing with the Cristero Revolt: The revolt won't trigger unless you complete the red/gold shirts focus so if you do not do them you won't even have to worry about the church power. But I think you need red shirts to get Trotsky in this one.

[@TheNolunch]

Yeah you need Red Shirts cause it leads to the Communist Revolution focus on the right side of the tree, that puts Trotsky in charge of the country. The other one, under Eljido Workers, doesn't.

Also you don't need to take a Soviet state at the peace conference, you just need to occupy it during the war. So I think it is better to get military access in Germany when you are at war with USSR and make naval landings around Leningrad to get Sunset Invasion achievement.

[@jwahnmike]

What's your opinion on using cavalry for this run? There is a cav genius for the high command, and given that only the first land doctrine was invested there won't be any bonuses leftout for the cavs. It also is very mobile so making the encirclements against the US troops much easier, which is mandatory anyways given how sturdy National Guards type infantries are. The cavs can later be changed to mechanised division whose IC would not be a problem at that point of the game because most of the US's industrial might will be at your hands.

Oh, it will very much be superior. I had tried it a few times in test runs, but settled on INF to show it can be done just as easily, since newer players often don't feel comfortable with different templates etc

Thx for your opinion.

Great video as always, but I'd also like to just say how refreshing it is to see a HOI4 youtuber who can actually pronounce names correctly lol

Idk if it’s just me but I feel like a couple cav units would definitely help against the USA

[@Bitt3rSteel]

Oh, for sure. I just tried to keep it simple since the US can be a challenge for newer players

You should definitely redo this one

[@tomhavenith2330]

Maybe that's stupid... but a would a few "speedy" cav-brigades for encircling and victorypoint-rushing be useful?

Hey man, Great tutorial! I just have one issue, after the boarder conflict the US doesn't declare war on me, what gives?

[@Bitt3rSteel]

The US agression was somewhat changes over the patches since this video was made, I guess. Updates required, but I'll wait for No step back
