I literally did your exact strategy, and I was surprised at how well it worked. Then I looked looked at the Alps... I turned around my 3 tanks and quick deployed 3 more to hold the river, and then I cut off the the Germans and Italians West of the Rhone River.

I can imagine the French being like, "What took you so long?" and the Allies just know this wasn't supposed to happen.

There is something you can do called a support attack where you attack the tile without walking into it by control and the right clicking on the enemy division. (Edit: For it to work you need to click on the enemy division itself, you can't click on the tile it is in, you need to click within the rectangle and you will support attack every troop on that tile.) It is helpful so you don't need to keep manually stopping the battles and so you don't need to keep pulling back after you win a battle which is what you were doing with your tanks in the start of the war.

Amazing. Only took me 8 years to figure this out now 😂

I love how swiftly the music went from WW1 to Napoleon as you fought desperately at first but eventually liberated the benelux

One thing about quick deploying all those infantry divisions: you will lose equipment to attrition while training them up to level 2, whereas if you don't quick deploy them and let them train normally, they will start at level 2 without costing you extra equipment

You should have shown you templates, especially the tank ones. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I'm really curious to see them. Are they like 10 tanks, 9 motorized and 1 AA? Those tanks literally didn't care about anything, they didn't get pierced and were able to win the battles even having red bubbles sometimes.

in hoi4 videos you can see the divisions layout when they hover their mouse over it. hard sometimes but when they are microing battles its often easy to spot. tank designs would have to be shown separately.

so the key takeaway is: 1. delete all units 2. rush industry and military and forget politics 3. make tanks 4. kill did i get it right?

Found your videos by chance, I enjoy playing France so much because of the many debuffs which force us to focus. You made some quite interesting moves here, hadn't tried this order. I'll try not to rush defensive strategems and develop industries first. Spanish war also is great. Maybe you could emphasize in the end of your games what templates or staff or officer corps that mad a difference this time? Looking forward to your next French games with some optimizations 🙂

@@Wow_btw The truest historical path is to fail miserably in 1940. You need to change some things up to fix France enough to defeat Germany, so "historical" France victories pretty much encompass either Laval or Blum, as far as I'm concerned.

Yesterday I did a France run and very effectively held off the Germans with another fort wall and infantry-tank hybrid units to hold areas that were starting to break, they ended up bleeding so much manpower and equipment on me that they refused to declare war on the Soviets lol Also annihilated the Italian navy and supply lines with what was mostly boats you get from the start of the game, I just spammed destroyers to fill in screens and scout units that would occasionally die, didn't lose a single boat that wasn't a destroyer or sub

Thanks for the guide!

Would’ve loved to see those tank designs, what were they? (Personally use light speedy infantry focused tanks, if encountering a heavy tank, defend, Eventually any opponent won’t have enough men to man the tanks (or any infantry, and the rest is usually easy), in multiplayer, a fully defensive tank may be needed Giving full focus to air and such

With his minion units Gru jumped 4 years ahead into from 1940 straight into 1944 and liberated Europe couple of years earlier

My very soul started shaking and crying when he deleted the carrier for 6k manpower nice vid tho.

I play as France in Historical without Italy or Germany even having the balls to attempt to attack. Immediately queue up level 10 forts across the entirety of Belgium’s border (they finish by time Germany attacks), grab all the generals and field marshals with the highest defense, choose the defensive focus, and build a 20 width pure infantry division with engineer and maybe artillery support company. Draw a fallback line across the entire frontline (Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany), choose a lane doctrine that gives you entrenchment bonuses, and just sit there. Tested in multiple times and they just don’t even move. U.K and US eventually flood the frontline and start attacking and you overwhelm them eventually

When did you start producing medium tanks? What design and template?

keep up broskii 💯

You don't even have to give Geramny any tiles, just build level 5 forts (do retreat a bit in the Italian front, though). Your supply will be slightly worse in the German front but it'll still work out. Also, it's not as complicated as he makes it seem, and if you know the naval mechanics, focus your fleet on the Mediterranean to crush the Italian fleet in order to help the British AI.

1:37 the alarm sound had me dying

history if belgium let france extend the maginot line

now that is ww1 2

My strategy is what I call, hold the line... with armour... I simply hardem my divisions by distribuiting one or two heavy infantry tanks on each of them and, well, simply hold the line, no forts required. They'll keep attacking you with no avail. 2 years later, your now veteran divisions can just walk in.

For me, everytime when I play France I always speed run the focus tree to get rid of disjointed government and the victors of great war. These 2 debuffs hurt bad. I never went for devalue the Francs because of the stability issue. If you're playing France, stability is everything. Anything below 50% is considered to be dangerous.

When Germany declares war on Czechoslovakia, move your existing fighter air group into Czechoslovakia and and put them on interception. Don't put them on air superiority as germany will rip them apart into pieces. After that, wait for the Italians to join the war and immediately rush Italy. When Italy cap, start focusing on germany on 2 fronts.

@@Finn_the_Cat It's not basic airframe. Fighter 2s are the advanced airframe. Basic airframes are the fighter 1. For air tech, you have the interwar airframe (never produce these unless you're going for REALLY early war or just want them to be on interception), the basic airframe which is available in 1937/38 or something, then there's the advanced airframe that's available in 1940. If you have By Blood Alone DLC, then what you do for the fighter design is to add heavy machine guns, armour plate, and if you have extra rubber, add in self-sealing fuel tanks. The design is a bit expensive, but you can dogfight most of the planes and still win. If you play the little entente path, you start producing fighter 1s (1938 tech, not the interwar for the love of god) asap because by the time the Fate of Czechoslovakia happens, you will have a decent size airforce to compete with Germany. Of course given the fact that Germany can send air volunteers to Spain, you will lose more planes than Germany but it's still enough to compete for air supremacy if you focus on one zone at a time. Also, what's the summer patch?

@royalwolf7115 the basic airframe can be researched at the start of the game its 1936 tech just fyi and the summer patch is an update to the game that you can opt into as an early view of what will happen with the new dlc. It has a much different basis for air with excess thrust giving agility and agility supposedly being more important than before. Also survivability studies cannot be researched until 1939 on this patch but Ill just play on the current game patch and take your advice
