Honestly? This feels less like a disaster save and more like that person issued a challenge for you to repel their player-setup Germany. And if that's so, good job to the both of you.

I had a game recently that went almost exactly the same as this. Axis successfully sealioned and capitulated the Allies then came for me. I lost the Stalin line and got naval invaded in the north so I lost Leningrad. Got pushed all the way until I was fighting in Moscow itself and just outside Stalingrad. I actually managed to recover and by 1946, I had them on the ropes and was pushing back but just as I was about to start crowning myself Bittersteel reincarnate, Turkey joined the war with no warning and I capped. Most blue-balled I've ever been in HOI4.

Some 8M lost and over 20M lost on German side, so I decided I would grind them out. And I did. They never got past Urals, even though Germany got to the tile next to them. And then I pushed them back and capitulated them... Took to about 1950's but I did it. :-P

All the doctrines were to some extent practiced by every (major) army - Soviets did mass mobilization, deep battle, grand battleplan (what else would you call Kursk, for example?), superior firepower as you said and of course mobile warfare in their armoured doctrines.

And somehow we managed to turn the tide and win. It took like... 5 years? Edit: The weirdest thing was that the AI actually used mechanized.

11:25 no intelligence agency porbably because he doesn't have the La Resistance DLC. I believe you can still do the focus without the DLC

Italy is allowed into the dardenelles because they have alliance with Romania. Because the way naval locations are, the AIs command to go to the allied port overrides the Straight mechanic. I think you can do this too in SP

CHALLENGE: As Trotskyist Russia defeat the axis, here's the twist. Your units will be 1 infantry and one support artillery. Your only grace is you have complete control of your air design, your shock troops of which you will have only 5, are 30 width motorized of your choosing. Say hello to 1000 infantry divisions!!

Thank god for your vids man. They bring me much needed joy after a busy day.

pretty sure left and right side of the river is defined by the direction of water flow, so you would be starting your operation from the right side in this case

I think you should ALWAYS build railway guns as a major nation. When you started puching, if you had then, it would help you alot.

Just wanted to say Mass assault does make sense with the soviets purely because of their issue with getting xp. I've been able to get the "not a step back" and "Race for germany" achievement on normal

As someone with 15 hours on the game this video helped me know what not to do so much, awesome vid

i still use 30 width medium tanks as germany. they're really op. my BIGGEST victory with them was 2 medium tanks vs 11 infantry divisions w/ 2 motorized & 1 light tank division. it was glorious. it got me a 300k manpower encirclement.

Looks like BBA and Resistance wasn’t enabled, could explain the lack of agencies

When you want to check the lastest casulties for a battle you can click the document icon right side of the "theater name" (soviet theater 1 in your case). Then you will see the exact number you have killed in every battle. It also give lots of detailed information about battles. Cheers. I like your disaster contents.

Funny enough I had a game that got close to this kind of territory of trouble. Didn’t have enough air, and the germans just seemed to be doing far better even on an even playing field, but I did make a lot of my industry away from the western lines so that helped a lot. The CAS killed attempts I had to counterattack for so long even when it seemed like I should win, but after enough slogging I made breakthrough and encirclements just as you did and nearly crushed the axis. That is, until Turkey for whatever reason joined the allies and declared war on me. It was over.

I will try to send my own nightmare disaster save 😅

As Soviet Union you can invest heavily in airplanes because you got the resourses, Cas is Op, if you combine it with good infantry you can easily rush all the way to Berlin without even micro maganing

The AI when it realizes Bittersteel has taken charge: My time has come

BitterSteel knows.... we're only here for the encirclements

16.30 Imo right side is better if you rush it very early, that production efficiency growth is huge for the Soviets (and the research speed is nice if not investing heavily in industrial focuses), but the left side is just more fun

You need to make a A to Z disaster save game

The Italian navy could have maybe followed rivers into the black sea, through Romania or Bulgaria maybe? It did happen in ww2 that ships followed rivers

Do you have any plans on making a tutorial for new players? I have watched your videos for a while but since you skip the basic setup/build its hard to learn something

Sometimes somehow players can play worse than AI and idk how its possible...

I would have used trucks in the tanks and filtered them out as you built more mech, you wouldn't loose too many trucks and your tanks would be fully functional.
