The reason the Germans weren't pushing is because you had your troops on the front but not pushing. The AI will wait for you to push if you share a front, that's why when you pulled your troops off to deal with turkey they started pushing.

It can actually be useful in certain situations, like when the allied ai is endlessly attacking and losing every battle, if you send 1 division and create a frontline but you don't attack, the ai will stop attacking and losing massive amounts of equipment and manpower.​

ISP, this is the 3rd time you've brought "the focus nobody picks in Hoi4" to the class

love how Poland ends up as a dot in the center of Europe (plus Rostov), but Germany, the MAIN BAD GUY, gets bigger after the war, keeping Austria

Jokes aside, I played this path out of my own free will and I think it is actually very cool. The point of it is to create a UK aligned fascist Italy. Dino Grandi IRL attempted to stop Italy from entering WW2 and opposed anti-semitic policies. He was still a violent fascist, ofc. Following the invasion of Sicily, he led the proposal to remove Mussolini from power. His path is meant to be played alongside the "guarantee austria" foreign policy (oppose Germany), and is actually pretty historically truthful. Part of why the British+French response to Ethiopia was so weak was because they hoped Italy would be their ally against Germany. It involved a lesser known element of fascism (corporatism) and let's you get good relations with nearly everyone. Overall - Good path do play :)

@vahlen5281

4 ай бұрын

Fun fact to add, pretty much the same applies to Italo Balbo. He was a staunch opponent to the alliance with Germany, and became even more outspoken when Germany attacked Poland; constantly reasoning for joining in with Great Britain instead. This is just one of multiple reasons why his accidental death - being caused by friendly fire from an AA battery - is seen as extremely convenient for the Axis, with many historians still suggesting that it was not an accident at all.

9:45 Poland has a "Become Soviet Puppet" side in the communist path as well and the point of that one is that you temporarily give up the eastern half, beat up Germany with the Soviets, they give you Germany's eastern territories, and then you ask for your own eastern territories back (which the Soviets will usually accept) so in exchange for a bit of weirdness you can get some pretty nice expansion from the safety of being the Soviet bulwark. Although I've never done the Polish fascism side, I suspect that the "Become German Puppet" thing may work the same way (give Germany the Polish corridor -> help Germany destroy the Soviets -> Germany gives you the Polish corridor back).

Unfortunately you won't recieve your western territories back, but you MAY get soviet western territories and baltics as cores

Yeah most democratic paths are horrible. We really need a rework for all focus trees

maybe the megacampaign will give us a good push towards the legendary Alf Landon playthrough

The point of the Beck-Ribbentrop path is for the bonuses against Germany you can get from some of the focuses.

seeing you play something as challanging as that polish run was super fun! you should try more hard to pull of focus trees and show us an underdog fight again!

Honestly this was super fun to watch for some reason xD. I can't explain it but you trying to claw your way to victory was a very fun viewing experience. Different from self imposed challenges. This was literally just a semi believable alternate history fight for your LIFE.

I mean Japan seemed to be winning against the allies thats probably something

I'd been calling him Dino Grandini this whole time and it wasn't until this video that I realised I was wrong

Btw there was a new feature added to No Step Back when it came out I think. If you put troops on the whole front and don't attack the AI won't attack either. That's why Germany wasn't attacking. I found this out when I decided to be ultra smart as Planes Hungary to prevent micro by putting all my planes on a single general commanding crappy divisions on the entire Soviet Front... took me years to figure out why the German's refused to push.

Ironically the Italy Grandi tree is the only Italy path I've played.

Give us the rat

My first ever Italy game with the DLC was with Dino Grandi, he was the guy who proposed to oust Mussolini at the grand council of fascism in 1943. He also was a sort of non fascist fascist since he disliked the populist rethoric of other fascist hierarchs and clashed with Mussolini many times, he was kinda of a "moderate" bureucratic-diplomatic-institutional guy and in his path he can purge Starace which he hated for his populism and overall idiotness (btw he really was an idiot, he was mocked by the public and even Mussolini thought that he was: "an idiot but a loyal one"). Also he and Galeazzo Ciano were the two fascists who had contacts in other countries and diplomatic roles, he also survived the war and he worked for the FIAT for a period. He's the best guy rp wise to revive the Stresa front and join the allies which I did. I really liked that paradox gave him and Balbo a place and a fairly accurate one.

fun map man is back to regular scheduled videos

The funny thing is that this was the first run that I've played with Italy in the BBA dlc. DINO GRANDI supreme

I find ridiculous that the allies doesn't give up after hitting so many millions of casualties

Love how Germany got to keep Austria and almost all the polish land

great video

my operagx crashed upon opening this video, god i love this channel

the boarder gore is, I need something strong after seeing that.

You can get assault batallions also in kaiserreich if you go Savinkov path

I mean you can really play sides in the monarchy path I got all of the colonies italy wanted took over the balkans and literally let the AI fight till I could see who was losing and I joined them it was a really good play through and having the IEA is so nice as it means I don’t have to micro resistance problems and I never call them to war so it’s just a nice trade partner

I know who is Dino Grandi, and he is my first choice when playing as fascist Italy 🇮🇹 after that DLC. I'm italian and I regularly watched the TV 📺 documentaries on the third channel that they air during lunch right after school 🏫 The biggest feat of Dino Grandi, during ww2 was: - secretly contacting the politicians unsatisfied with Mussolini. - contact the King 🤴 in secret to ask for his support to sway the undecided and legitimise a post Mussolini government. - organised the arrest of Mussolini and forced resignation by calling him out of the bunker with a trick. - knowing that the italian army was getting deported by Germany and the italian generals were still loyal to Mussolini, he organised the first partisans movements. (Pre-war it was jn the party even before Mussolini, he never liked him but survived the purges, because he was an important person, and he was the italian foreign minister and a great fan of USA)
