G'day and welcome to my channel! But really it's our channel, because all these videos, they're for you!

Originally I started making guides for Hearts of Iron IV, with the aim of being the helping hand to learn the game that I never had. Over time that has turned into more and more varied types of videos on more and more varied games. Mostly in the strategy genre, but I do enjoy long walks in other games too.

So if you're into (hopefully) educational and helpful videos with a sprinkling of mid humour, you're in the right place!

Also if you like my videos and would like to help me out, it means a lot to me when you leave comments letting me know! And if you don't like my videos, well, keep that to yourself...

If you are a brand that is looking to work with me, please contact me via my email below, or via my discord, whichever you prefer.

    The navy isn't hard to play it's just useless. In my last game I defeated Germany by April 1939 as Great Britain. There was 1 small naval battle at the beginning of the war then I didn't need the main fleet again for the rest of the game. I had hundreds of reserve ships that I had no use for. Researching new ship models was a complete waste of time. Submarines are the only naval units with any utility. Although raiding enemy convoys is completely pointless. It doesn't affect the German or Italian stability or war support, it just gives you a load of annoying alerts.

    Hello, I recently found your channel and I have to say, you're good at explaining, I learned more about the game from the few days I've been watching! I am still pretty much a newb at the game, but I am slowly getting better. Out of curiosity though, could you ever do a Netherlands playthrough? I'd especially love to see a non-aligned ( the Wilhelmism focus) holdout against germany, you'd really make my day if you ever did that. A Bevrijding achievement would be amazing too ( where you flee to the DEI and later return). Still, keep doing what you do, you're doing great :D
