HoI4 By Blood Alone Ethiopia Beats up Italy

Ойындар

By Blood Alone is here! This video is sponsoerd by Paradox. Get the game here: play.heartsofiron.com/Taureor The new DLC is great and If you do, it lets them know it's a good idea to sponsor me!
Ethiopia is pretty difficult, so here's a guide. Should work every time, 90% of the time. No need for external support, we will beat Italy on our own.
This is a guide, but it is played in Ironman so that you know it works.
Would you like to see more Ethiopia? Which path?

    Holding the hills slightly further east of your southern line forces the Italians to stand in desert and gives you a good angle to attack the center tile from, which you can then use to encircle the units on the northern tile and inflict massive casualties and chaos on the Italians in Somalia. Also it will provoke them to attack slightly more often, which is a boon for the general you picked since he gets the Scavenger trait from a Focus. Add that to the Logistics Spirit you can get for free and Scavenging Tactics and unless you're very unlucky in real life you'll be gaining guns every time the Italians fail to take your tiles. I also don't bother training new units with my strategy because you have enough to pull it off by bringing the one commander out of retirement. I instead stall to get the extra research stuff while keeping things primed for ~1938 when I start doing the Focuses that improve the Mekwanint's control, because in the early stage of the war you want the Mesafint's defense bonus more. Edit: I also stack debuffs to enemy air with leaders like Empress Asfaw because, y'know. You have no possible way to not fight under red air.

    Such a treat, as always. I'd love to see you continue this playthrough (go for Jamaica, of course!) I couple of things I noticed as I tried my hand at this. imru Haile Selassie, the original Infantry Specialist, levels up really fast and is really godlike. Also, by the late 1936, as Italians run out of steam, you can put pretty much any General in the Northern mountains to level up. Put your Hill Fighter there and he gets Adaptable in no time. Wouldn't it be better to use him as a Field Marshal? He'a Adaptable and a Logistic Wizard, what's not to love?
