Obviously. Hitler had promised to make Germany a country for ethnic Germans only, that would span the northern-slavic lands as an empire, and that would be self-sufficient. What has he achieved in this term? He hasn't taken Poland, he hasn't taken Russia, he hasn't really secured oil nor grain, added hundreds of millions of mouths to feed, and made Germans a minority in their own country suffering the whims of the French, British, Italians, Roma[+nians], Hungarians, Greeks and Yugo-Slavs. Typical dictators. Start invading countries to pretend they didn't break all their promises. *spits*

The Allies will be at war too but most only in Africa. Just never join them or give them military access. After you win, and it's not easy, in the peace deal you have to be a bit clever and lucky to get all German and Italian Cores. After the peace deal the Benelux will stay under your control because you aren't in the faction. After that form the EU then continue down the Monarchist path to flip non aligned.

there is also a way to use about 300 tac bombers to really easily sink the entire sub fleet and a large part of the destroyers of England and or France, so your fleet will easily have supremacy. It will take a bit of time (4-20 ships a day), so not suited for fast rush, but very suited for ww2.

Hey Bitt3r! I was considering how to adapt your strategy to an HRE run and would like to know if this works: 1) do the same Yugoslavia cheese but not spike world tension so the brits wouldn't get involved 1.5) hit air safety regulations to ensure the survival of the Hindenburg 2) set up a full 10-unit invasion of France, hitting Calais and Dunkirk as well, and to the same thing as you did with Italy. Yoink Czechoslovakia and Romania, possibly leaving Yugo to the italians. 3) after that, immediately go for the civil war 4) rush return of the Kaiser, disbanding the army to ensure the Dutch deny you, putting Wilhelm Junior in charge 5) do alliance with the shade and the decisions you need to do to get Victoria as Kaiserin 6) you're in the allies, so nobody is going to guarantee Austria, Italy, and the Benelux. invade, do your thing and restore HRE. 6 is the main point here. does it REALLY work like that?

Video about germany. Every German subscriber: „Ein Land, ein Reich, ein Kommentarbereich!!“

To be honest with you I don't think this works anymore with the NSB updated UI. They push into Germany too fast. It becomes a race to cap UK/France before they cap you. I've tried fallback lines and ways to slow them but it's hard to cap both of them before you lose Germany. Out of 3 games I've only come close once. I'm going to try another but it is difficult since they push so hard. I'm capping UK in a few weeks but landing in France is difficult to get a port. I could take France first but then I'd never beat the royal fleet. Update. On my 5th try I got it. It is much harder than it used to be and you need to have many many things go your way. I capped Paris right before they got to Berlin. I had to have some good divisions sitting in Berlin to hold them off. It also helps to have a few fast units in Reserve to cut off supply from behind.

You wrote that 3 months ago, but it should work now. But I did it a bit different than what is shown in the video. Here is what I did: I got the war goal on the US, but it doesn't go on 64% with that, it took a while. That is maybe why it worked, because with that delay, I built a biger army. The UK was captured before France, 16 Units covered the Maginot-Line (they didn:t break through or somethin', they just stayed there) the Czech got a breakthrough by me, but conquered that over time and got their own which was little, so no danger if you keep with the idea of sending permanent new troops to the border (musn't even be regularly) and the French will be capitulated around 12. October 1936 which also brings the Little Entente to an auto. fall. Hopefully, you are ok with the relatively late end of the war if you go like that, but you get the Little Entente without an extra war, so should be worth it. Problems I had: Going Schlieffen isn't a good idea, the French will get further in your territory or you get the option to invade Spain to the faction what isn't good, 'cause they get Italy and maybe Hungary into their civil war causing Republican Spain to join the allies and everything is destroyed. You will win, but you won't get the peace conference and all that stuff. But you probably know all that due to experience.

I have probably a stupid question if that's okay. Would it be possible to claim the british titles to restore HRE with Britain as a puppet?
