A little factoid about the "egg-headed" leader you got for Sanation Left. This guy was actually pretty close with Piłsudski (who created Sanation) but got marginalized by the late 30s, and actually commited suicide in April 1939, so he shouldn't be available as a leader in the 1939 start date (since it starts in August)

Slawek, Churchill, and de Gaulle agree to a conference in, say, London. Churchill and de Gaulle are early. Some minutes later, they hear large footsteps and feel the ground trembling. Slawek knocks open the door half a minute later with his cane he needs so his pure steel balls dont pull him down and, seeing Churchill and de Gaulle cowering in a corner, he says "Smells like bitch in here". He spends 3 hours of the conference listing the newest victories of Poland and then asks the two others what progress theyve made. Churchill and de Gaulle look at each other. Realising that they havent made any advances, Slawek gets up and leaves.

I am very glad to see you struggle with front lines so much, that its not just me :D

Imagine the history books of this universe and how enshrined the polish high command is, liberating itself, taking berlin, and wiping the flow with the soviets

I have one more tweak - assign Stanisław Sosabowski as one of the generals for your armies. His stats are not that good, but he starts with the Commando trait. Which allows you to assign him the trait Camouflage expert for 50% reduction of the damage from CAS right from the start. And when he reaches level 4 you can assign him to Military High Command as Concealment Specialist for reduction of the enemy air support. As he will see lots of action in the trenches he will get to 6 in no time. In my game he got to 8 actually. The Commando trait is due to his role in Market-Garden operation - he commanded the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade that landed in Driel near to Arnhem. Gene Hackman played him in the movie "A Bridge Too Far".

Ohhh a fresh take on some old lore, interesting

This was awesome! Just attempted it and managed to complete it on my third try. I eventually just slapped the 48 divisions on full frontlines and placed the remaining 16 across three sections that seem to get completely bombarded much more than others. I found for the most part, letting the computer manage the frontlines was pretty sufficient almost the entire way. Aside from that, I didn't do anything differently aside from making the mistake of using the other field marshal. The other one gets kicked out when you go Left so... I wasted all that xp... haha. Would've certainly made me succeed sooner. I do feel like I was bombarded a bit more hardcore than you in my playthrough, I was drained of manpower even with Scraping the Barrel (and trust me... I never take that unless it's desperate) -- I figured the lack of manpower would force me to capitulate moreso than the lack of guns. Seemed to work but I do wonder if I made the right choice. Maybe having the extra factory output would've helped with defense with my guns. We may never know...

Finally a video I've been waiting for your video and happy new year guys

Yes

This was a really entartaining video idk why but i think u should make more of this content cus i would love to see it

So just a tip, at the beginning of the game, if you que up 1 fort in the tile north of Katowice, 2 forts in the forest tile north of Krakow, and 1 fort in Krakow, and 1 in Katowice (in that order) you have just enough time to get 3 (4 if you're really lucky) built before the Germans start attacking (as long as you scorched earth everything). When you unpause, also make sure to hit the strategic redeployment order so your units get to your fallback lines ASAP and get those few days of extra entrenchment (don't worry their organization fully recovers before the war starts). Also pick up the scavenger trait if you can, it makes a big difference early on to get that bit of enemy equipment. Hold off hitting the desperate defense decision for a month or so if you can, it helps tide you over until prepare for the inevitable is completed.

Just got the achievement in the 1st attempt, thanks Bitt3rSteel! I've tried it before using "horseshoe" tactic, but next to Warsaw (I think Feedback did video about it), but failed few times and gave up. But I did few mistakes, so I barley survived and had red bubbles between 15-30 till late 1940. I think I didn't rotate divisions enough in the early game, so I had huge casualties and constant lack of equipment. So if someone is gonna try it, make sure you move your units manually

You have no idea how glad I am someone else struggles with front lines too :)

Always great videos. Respect for you

use the rivers around warsaw, krakow kielce and lodz and build forts where there isn't a river protecting the defensive line

You didnt need to give up Wilno. It was placed between Belarus and Lithuania with no border to Germany. You would be further from the brink. Also, you could have put a bunch of men into training to save a bunch of manpower.

@creamylou7840

Oh Bitt3rSteel posted my day just became better

you can do the focus "Prepare for the inevitable" even after capitulating

a small thing i noticed usingthis strat: at the start, if you queue up divisions and then release belarus and ukraine, you get to keep a good amount of the manpower from there. if you queue up divisiosn while the germans are taking territory, you get to keep some of the manpower from the land you give up as well.

when I did it I did the warsaw strategy still which I think still works fine, the German AI is a bit smarter and doesn't fall for the encirclements as often but you do get to keep way more industry around.

Side note for people with the latest version: the extra land for Belarus does not matter, in the newest update, despite the extra land lose too belarus, you will be at 98% towards capitulation instead of 99%

Best strategy is to delete your army so germany will annex everything but zaolzie. You have op focuses that allow you to develop zaolzie enough to make lvl 6 forts. You can hold zaolzie with 3 20width infantry divisions with support arti and air, shovels and recon per tile and germans will endlesly attack you. In my playthrough my casualties where only 56.
