An absolutely, completely normal game of HOI4 being played here by u/Greawis
Nothing at all strange about the Confederate States joining the Asian Federation, a faction led by Denmark, right?
The first teaser of 2020: Dev Diary coming tomorrow!
Hi everyone. Tomorrow we are back with @HOI_Game dev diaries. Can you spot whats changed here?
It’s Mod Monday, and have you ever wanted to recreate Carthage to its ancient glory?
Well, look no further than the ‘Dreams of Carthage’ mod, which sets out to let you do just that.
Check it out here:
This is what happens when you get a war dragging on some way past HOI’s traditional end date.
Yes, that’s more than 128,000,000 casualties for u/Wallant’s opponents , and *yes*, the date is 1978.
Fair play!
A fun little game for the weekend would be to do the ‘Georgia on My Mind’ achievement.
For this, you need to play as the US and control all three Georgias: Georgia the State, Georgia the country, and the island of South Georgia.
Good luck!
Mod Spotlight: ‘EU4 Style Ages’ is a neat mod that brings over the ‘ages’ mechanic from our friends at @E_Universalis into Hearts of Iron.
Complete specific objectives in each age to unlock bonuses for your country!

In the pantheon of great HOI4 encirclements, does this one by the *sea* count? 🤔
27% attrition on 58 divisions!
Heads up: there isn't going to be a Dev Diary today - they will resume next week!
They might not have a navy of any kind or even any coastline, but Reorganized Nationalist China in this game is pursuing the essentials: Fleet Basing Rights.
Courtesy of u/CyberGamer64, it’s non-historical HOI4 Bingo!
How many of these happened in your last non-historical game?

And that concludes our live-tweeting of the Siege of Bastogne, as it happened, 75 years ago.
If you have been following along and enjoyed it, let us know, and let us know what events we should do in future
#HOIHistoryLive
With Bastogne relieved, reinforcements were able to arrive and the 101st was replenished.
Over the following weeks, the Allies counter-attacked and drove the Germans eventually back to their Dec. 16 frontlines.
At 16:50 on December 26th, the 4th Armored reached the lines of the 326th Airborne Engineers. The Siege had been lifted.
The 39th Tank Battalion has reached Assenois, and is engaged against 100 Germans backed up by 8 anti-tank guns.
One gun and two machine guns are taken by Sergeant James Hendrix in an action that would win him the Medal of Honor.
(Yes we know Patton commanded the 3rd Army and not the division, but only so many words in a tweet...)
To the south of Bastogne, General Patton’s 4th US Armored Division is charging north, to break the siege.
By 3pm, the 4th’s spearhead of Lt. Col. Creighton Abrams' 37th tank battalion was at Remichampagne, just 10km from Bastogne.
More attacks from the German 5th Panzer Army hit Bastogne today, but all were repelled by a defending force which had perfected its combined-arms tactics.
By contrast, the German Volksgrenadiers struggled to co-ordinate properly with their supporting tanks.
After furious fighting for several hours, the German tanks have been caught in a lethal crossfire of machine-guns, bazooka fire and US tanks.
They are forced back, losing many of their tanks. Bastogne lives to fight another day.
