Mantriel said: 2. I have an army of light tanks (24 divisions), I started producing medium tanks.
3. My divisions are 7 infantry & 2 artillery, 20 width wide for my infantry armies. The tank divisions are 5 tanks & 5 motorized infantry. Support companies are for both: Engi, Support Artillery, Support Anti-Air, Logi & Hospital.

I would be producing medium tanks either before France falls or immediately after. We want medium tanks with 8 kph speed on them so they are going fast enough to overrun and encircle. Light tanks are simply not going to c... Read more

Morvrann said: Hi, I never really played using Space Marines, wanna try it

Let me provide some guidance.

First, let's make something clear: Space marines are not about having good tanks. They are about having "meh" heavy tank destroyers that you can produce from 1937 until you you drown the enemy in them. So, when thinking about this, I don't want you looking at the tech tree and saying to yourself "Aha! I'll get 1943 heavy tanks soon. Let's swap to that!"

Resist that impulse. Instead think like this:

"I have 137% pr... Read more

HmJ_JP said: I often like these tactics, work well in HOI4 although AI gets suspicious when the opening is too narrow. But don't try the opposite in 1939 against Germany, it doesn't fare well until you're well equipped.

I did it by accident one time in an MP game many years ago.

The weird way some tiles near Kherson are drawn, one time I left one tile completely uncovered along the river. The Italian player sent some motorized troops through the gap, and I didn't notice at first. When I noticed a weird Italian snake heading towards Sevast... Read more

Needs an update for HOI4.

"Lose land, but keep stockpile. Land can be retaken. Lose land, but capitulate, both land and stockpile are lost."  

GrandVezir said: NFT preorder when?

When gas fees go down?  

LordWahu said: That is incredibly ominous and concerning

I wouldn't sweat it. They're probably just having teething issues with adding HOI4 to the blockchain. I'm guessing getting the CIC output to match up with the mining of crypto is a bit of an issue. And the staking of the generals and admirals as NFTs is time consuming.  

TheMoe said: Genius. I can declare war through the focus tree and pull my troops back until they spread out a little. Thanks!

That tactic is even more hilarious when used against the French and the Maginot. The French army will just abandon the Maginot and try to occupy Germany if you pull back from the border. No more fort bonuses for you, Gamelin.

$ilent_$trider said: While we are discussing the subject of needless micro, why not add different classifications of munitions and force players to spend MILs on it???
PS: I am being facetious…

With all due apologies to John Lennon, but I have to do it for the lulz.

marcelo r. r. said: Don't bother with DLC Switzerland before barbarrosa. finish soviet union first, then u will have spare troops, and medium tanks.
The DLC Switzerland have awful occupation debuff's, don't worth it before Soviet Union, it will become a sinkhole for your equipment.

Does Switzerland have all debuffs in place before September of 1939?  

I see a lot of good responses here, but I want to chime in with a few of my own.

him_15 said: Let’s say for Germany is it really worth to put resources into submarines.

That depends on what you mean by "put resources into submarines."

Germany starts with 1936 subs and a little guy named Donitz. Against the AI on normal, those two factors, plus Germany's starting dockyards (and the occupied ones in France/Benelux/Poland) are enough to give you a decent chance of neutralizing the British merchantmarine by June of 1941.

namewhichisnottakenyet said: Now that you mention it, a castle feels too much like EU4 or CK3 anyway.
For the authentic HOI4 feel, I propose hot bunking in a refurbished WW2 era submarine or an air raid shelter instead.

For such a location, a higher amount of participants would be required so that the price isnt much higher. So if this one goes well, perhaps we can do another one next year in a bunker!

Screen grab from your own link...

We have talked with the event organizers and that won't occur.  

Pantax said: So you want me to spend 1000 euro to possibly share a bed with a stranger? Nice...

You wouldn't share a bed with someone, but the rooms are shared.  

Foxosaur said: Do you think you'd do any post event videos or photos? It'd be really cool to see what we might be missing.

We will surely do that!

IndigoRage said: I don't think HoI has been too spammy on the front page. Honestly whoever is managing the Age of Wonders stuff should be the one having to do this.

As we have many more on the way, we wanted to have max 3 - 4 out at the same time, and archive the rest into this list to make it easier for you to find all the information you need with ease ^^  

Generals!

Not only do we have a Developer Diary this week for you, but we also have some intel from the Development team about some of the features coming to Arms Against Tyranny! This is the first video of a few that we have planned for you all, so we hope you enjoy!
