The best way to start is to do Rhineland. Use the PP for whichever advisor you want (Borman is the usual choice for more PP), but the gem is the 5 army XP. Create a new division with a single infantry. Convert the army except the 4 you want to send to Spain, to free up guns. Then spam a bunch of these, and deploy ASAP, allowing you to send 4 volunteers. Then change all of them to motorized (your biggest starting unit). Then you can do Anchlus on third focus, and if you did it right then Sudetan after that. Make the Slovak puppet, as it will give you compliance in Bohemia/Moravia. This plus standard economy build up will make your economy super strong.

Love your videos maybe a template guide? For single multi infantry tanks and design?

10:24 You could've done Operation Tannenbaum. I wonder how those trucks would've fared in the Swiss Alps.

I showed a friend of mine the power of a motorised army last night. He was blown away at how effective it is to literally run circles around your enemy.

Early prediction: Bitt3rSteel wins the challenge. Result: Victory

Love these videos! Keep being incredible and Merry Christmas in 4ish days!

My current meta is having a line of infantry divisions on the front line pushing slowly, and tons of motorised pushing very aggressively looking for a gap anywhere. Once there’s a gap you can encircle them all over the place and destroy them. Works against anyone really. I make the motorised 40-42W with their own flame tanks and motorised artillery (or rocket infantry if I get that far). I make sure to keep the speed at 12+

Took you a while to realise you were gonna need a lot of trucks for the truck-only run.

I tested this during one of my German Empire games against The Soviets, it was expencive but with all my air there were SO MANY OVERRUNS. I took around 7-15k causualties, it was the most satifying thing ever.

These trucky boys penetrated into the Netherlands faster than my mediums usually do. Good Lord. I knew I was clever for keeping some in my tank armies.

I had been talking about this recently! Armored Cars are actually really useful for a shocktroop template because they can bring firepower and armor to motorized whilst being able to keep up speed wise. Also! To anyone thinking about doing this never forget to research mechanized! It adds hardness to motorized troops!

Hi Bitt3r, I do something similar. I make a 10 width modern light tank division. and scatter a few of those into my army. With German perks, I can get the speed up to 20. (5 times faster than the infantry units) Other units punch the holes in the line and these units just race through and take everything behind the lines. The light tank focus is a lot cheaper on my industry too.

Idk about the CAS. The point of trucks only is to win with trucks. Personally, I'd only allow air superioity fighters and anything from the motorized tree. AC and mech are allowed too, along with any arty and support I want. Might try that challenge later too.

I gotta try this. Maybe I'll even use mechanized.

so in the end of the day italy gained italy in terms of soil and are like today was a good day to be friends with germany

This would be much more of a challenge if you also didn't use artillery or anything that requires more than trucks and infantry equipment. The way you did it, it's basically just supercharged normal infantry.

Hey bitter love your videos. Can you try Turkey with full motorized?

Y'all havent seen how it's like to invade the us with trucks. The sheer amount of flat ground on the eastern seaboard makes for an amazing playground.

The funny thing about Germany before the war was it didn't have that much of an actual mass manufacturing car industry. British, French and of course Americans were far ahead. And that.. had an impact in the long run. Germany used more horses during WW2 than during WW1.

I like motorized way more than tanks. They're cheaper and faster than tanks but can still pretty much do the same job. The only real advantage tanks have is breakthrough. Motorized + artillery + support AT + CAS will still easily make units that are good enough to break the AI's lines. Then just fill the gaps with regular infantry to hold the line.

Apropos motorization; Is there an expansion set for the Vril discs?

Playing autoscooter and defeating the French within a week. This gives a whole new meaning to "Blitzkrieg".

That's exactly what I tried to do in the last few games because I am such a Germany main :)

Mechanized is even more fun and probably the only real way the armored car challenge will work

Man, you and Isorrow did what I continue to fail at.

Hoi4 challenges like this are your best videos, 10/10

You should try out a speed meta at the UK, they start with an army maneuver genius and with mobile warfare they get +25% speed right off the bat. If you play in Road to 56 it can get even more broken

Mechanized and Motorized Germany is a fun game, tough to manage but effective in combat.

I tried this challenge.. It's so satisfying being so fast and encircling so much soviet units!

I'd like to see an Air Influencer challenge, where you play as any secondary nation for Allies/Axis and influence the war favorably by only sending air power. Like Canada refusing to put boots on the ground in Europe so you can only send any Air you can. Same with an Axis secondary power, maybe Hungary? Its putting a lot of faith in AI ground forces, but it will show the power of controlling the skies.

Real men fight wars with only field hospital units.

Just curious Bittersteel, what difference is there between Motorized Arty vs Rocket motorized arty? I've used ur 9/3 "shock troop" template before but sometimes switch it out with rocket trucks? Is there any tradeoff between the two?

Mostly that the rocket techs take longer to get their full benefit, and for most of that time...regular arty is just better, untill the final rocket techs

So this is actually my favorite build. As the Soviets, build SO much infantry, and then focus like 90% of your production on Motorized and Mechanized. By 1942, you have enough trucks and Mechanized to create a motorized front line division, and also a mechanized rocket artillery pushing unit. The Germans fall in a year.
