Considering the Finnish Army had at most 700,000 people in it during the Continuation War, getting over 700,000 casualties in this alternate timeline is definitely quite a lot.

[@sapphoschild3019]

"sir we've lost the entire army!"

[@lippi2171]

Armies were so big back then bro. Germany attacked Poland with 2 mil, the USSR with 3. The Soviet army at the end of the war was around (or more than) 6 million men in total. 700k for Finland is quite a lot too. We can't imagine this today.

Fun fact: One person who would have taken Mannerheim out of power was Mannerheim himself. He had every chance to become de facto dictator of the country with public support (bit like Ludendorf or Hindenburg of WWI), but immediately when he was able to, he said my job here is done, have democracy back. All he wanted to do was run his child protection alliance. Fun fact 2: It still exists today and is still called "Mannerheimin Lastensuojeluliitto".

if ever strapped on manpower. converting convoys into crusiers and destroyers spawns men out of thin air so you can disband them and get more men

[@senlim8461]

true, your navy consumes manpower when the ships are built so if you receive any ships without building them you can disband them for free manpower

My favourite part of any focus tree is when suddenly paradox says "no".

[@tjbjr]

hocus pocus, there's finland on your focus

[@satekoi]

There is one more secret focus hidden in Finnish Focus Tree. It's called "Innovative Designs". And it is hidden until you do "National Armor Focus [Mutually exclusive with: Sissi]", and "Militarized Society". Its giving 1 Random Building slot, and there 1 Military factory, and its create Hyökkäysvaunu Super Heavy Tank variant on gaining technology Super-Heavy Tank Chassis.

@@aclaymushroomwithaberet7084 I never use them, because they are too late to use. Mostly war with Soviets was already ended. Militarized Society focus needs to be either All Adults Serve or Scraping the Barrel, and you need be keep that focus. And National Armor Focus is too far to get.

[@bighillraft]

This video is probably longer than it took Paradox to code this secret path

[@krasnamerah1926]

To be honest, that path is just the least best of the bunch. All of its paths are good, but definitely need more military governments in Russia and maybe an option to secure Sweden and Norway.

[@CivilWarMan]

The Greater Kingdom of Finland has some real "Daniel/The Cooler Daniel" vibes to it.

[@squirtleawesome1064]

I can see why it's hidden, it doesn't make much sense why Finland would randomly decide to have a monarchy. Maybe it would make more sense if Germany deposed Hitler and had the Kaiser back.

[@PaperMario]

I mean in the focus it says the guy who leaded finland wanted it, so it's obvious because prince wolfgang is epic

[@williamsmeds1368]

Finland was briefly a monarchy in 1918 after achieving independence, and we even chose a king, but it was abolished and replaced by a republic before the king even came to Finland.

as Finland you can force soviets into a non aggresion pact in 1939 with diplo pressure, in my game i still got the event for Karelia but no war declaration. They had to justify again which gave me more time to hold and wait for Barbarossa.
