Hearts of Iron IV Dev Tracker

On the outbreak of WW1 the Agincourt was seized by the British and commissioned into the Royal Navy.

Remarkably, she was armed with FOURTEEN 12-inch guns, making her the most heavily armed Dreadnought of all time by number of main battery guns.

Taking part in the titanic Battle of Jutland in 1916, when Agincourt fired her full broadside the guns produced so much smoke and muzzle flash that several observers believed her to have exploded.

Surviving the war, Agincourt was broken up for scrap in the early 1920s.

HMS Agincourt was a unique British battleship that served with the Grand Fleet during World War 1.

Originally ordered from British shipyards by Brazil as ‘Rio de Janeiro’, she was bought by the Ottomans in 1913 while still being built.

Like last week, there won’t be a Dev Diary tomorrow, but there will be a stream at the earlier time of 3pm CEST!

Which achievement would you like to see us attempt?

See the descriptions for them here:

Here’s a challenge for you and a friend- Take Japan Communist and team up with Communist China to bring all of East Asia, and then the world, under your sway!

It’s Friday, which means its time for an Achievement challenge!

For ‘Once More Mate’, you need to control the Istanbul state as Australia.

What’s the best way to do this?

If you’re in the business of building capital ships in Man the Guns, one of the key choices you face is whether to build Battlecruisers or Battleships.

Speed or Armour- which do you prefer?

El Alamein is the narrowest part of the North African front and strategically vital. Often holding it can make the difference between victory and defeat in the African campaign.

What strategies or division templates do you use to hold (or break through!) this area?

Just an hour to go until today’s stream!

Our Community Ambassador @addaway23 will be continuing last weeks playthrough of the Bevrijding achievement.

Tune in at 16:00 CEST!

Dev Diaries remain on hiatus this week, but our Community Ambassador @addaway23 will be continuing an attempt to get the Bevrijding achievement on stream today.

Tune in at 16:00 CEST as Dutch troops try to sweep back to their homeland!

With the introduction of amphibious tanks in Man the Guns, there are more ways than ever to design your marine divisions.

What do you think is the best setup for cracking the Atlantic Wall? Lots of tanks and artillery? Which support companies?

If you’d like to play with Ramsay in Hearts of Iron IV, then the ‘Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay’ mod should be right up your street.

With 8 Co-ordination skill and decent traits, he’d make a powerful commander for your fleets.

Check the mod out here:

Historical Snapshot: Bertram Ramsay was a British Admiral you may not have heard of.

Little known in 1940, he organised the Dunkirk evacuation, and went on to prove himself a master of logistics and planning, commanding allied landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Normandy.

Tragically, Ramsay never saw the end of the war as in January 1945 he was killed in a plane crash while travelling to meet with Bernard Montgomery in Brussels.

It's #ModMonday!

Kaiserreich certainly needs no introduction, but its worth highlighting it again now that it has been updated for 1.6!

This superb mod creates an alternate HOI world based on the simple premise: What if Germany won WW1?

Find it here:

30 Minutes of Hel is probably one of the toughest achievements in the game, and is well worth a go this weekend.

To complete it, you will need to play as Poland in the 1939 start and inflict over 1.8m casualties on Germany, to beat the record from PDXCON in 2018.

Good luck!

A good scenario to play with a friend using the Custom Game Rules is ‘The Last Bastion of Democracy’.

For this play as the US and Mexico and tell all democratic/non aligned nations to turn fascist.

Then advance from the new world to sweep tyranny from the shores of the old!

See the details of tickets for this year's #PDXCON2019, available on the 7th of May! 👇😀
