Operation Barbarossa - HOI4 Complete Beginners Tutorial ep25
Finally! Can we rewrite history, in Hearts of Iron 4 as we invade the Soviet Union! Today we will learn what to do, and how, as we push deep into Red Russia!
If you wish to take part, download: gamesbrains.com/hoi2024tutorial/Germany_p24.hoi4 and put into your savegames folder.
Barboarossa was the greatest (and ugliest) land war ever fought, a front with 10 million men fighting (Germany 3m v Soviet 7m). Today we learn that the most useful tactic, as it was in real life, is the good old encirclement, using panzers and blitz warfare - at least for a while it went very well.
In the FIRST 3 months of the operation, the Germans using the tactic (they call it Kesselschlacht) they capture well over...

HOI4 Division Combat Stats | What Do They All Mean?

All Army Template stats mean something, but what's sometimes far more important, are the unseen knock-on effects, most of the stats have, elsewhere in the battle. For example, a panzer division needs X amount of supply, and if we're short, the division will run low on fuel - this is obvious - but the panzer division will also begin to suffer organisational penalties, so it's a double whammy.

    Lol, I watched your series (well done by the way) but it's useless now, I started the game vanilla and the first thing I see is a project to start, second thing is when I open the civics tree it's huge! Completely different now and in the research tree there are different things too. I guess you'll have to do a 2025 version.

    Thank you so much for these brilliant videos. You are very patient and explain everything so well. I am having an issue with naval supremacy: I have naval supremacy (all green north of Germany) before I declare war on Sweden. As soon as I declare war on Sweden the naval supremacy and intel (was 100%) both go to zero and all the tiles go red. Any help would be much appreciated.

    did they change sth with the peace negotiations? because i only could take belgium, netherlands, denkmark, sweden, norway, part of the north of france, and the western part of poland. and i took uk as a puppy (without NI) but then my points were finished... but i even had 86% war participation. weird, maybe i made some kind of mistake from me 🤔 now the very east of poland is polish again 🥵 and the northest part of norway is norway again, because i didn't take this as well (had no points left)

      Thank you for the contribution. Being able to "record in 1 go" was a huge difference for me. It might not be so polished, but it helped to keep things moving at my end. When I first started doing RUclips (on another channel) I'd spend upto 1 hour editing every minute worth of content, and it sucked the enjoyment & life out of it for me. Thanks again!

    i will leave a commant here again ... some things are different now for germany (focus trees and a bit harder to get the economy working). i played hoi4 2 years ago and needed a refresh so i watched this tutorial (not finished yet). your tutorial helped me a lot to get things going again, i told a friend "i am watching a 25h tutorial for hoi4 since about 1 or 2 weeks now" and he just replied "omg think about how many hours this guy spent for this tutorial, you just have to watch it" and he was right ofc - thanks for all the effort, i hope you are doing well! you didn't post a video since this tutorial so i hope you are okay 👍

    Loved the pace of this one comparitively to the beginning! Felt really good to start piecing it all together, I'd do what I think I should and if it was majorly different from you I'd adjust but I started nailing most of it beforehand, so definitely learning from these videos! Really hope you eventually come back to this channel and continue or maybe make a series going over what the changes are now that there's so much DLC!

    @spookyfckr616 13 дней назад

    I finished the Spanish civil war much earlier than you (about 4-6 months) because Rommel went straight for Madrid after liberating Barcelona. So, that forced me to make some changes since I couldn't exactly copy what you were doing, but it did help me learn on my own as well! I am having an issue though like others where Romania and Hungry are not offering to join the alliance. Hungry eventually wants to join, but only if I sim to November and by then "The man with the Tache" is called a coward for not declaring war on Poland and we are given a bunch of negatives. I cannot get Romania to join at all though and I think it is because they are democratic in my game and they need 100% World Tension.

    When one invaded Norway is it worth transferring into the infantry army or adding a 4th army, the mountain regiments you have? Or are the bonuses not worth the effort?

    • @gameswithbrains
      @gameswithbrains 15 дней назад

      Mountain divisions (special forces) are worth the effort... IF you have the "mental space" to setup and use them in mountain combat areas... They get bonuses (or rather everyone else gets penalties) for fighting on mountainous terrain. Secondly, special forces have very high organisation Vs regular forces (remember organisation equals they need less sleep / can fight for longer without a break). Because of these 2 reasons, they are absolutely worth it, if you have the multi-tasking abilities to juggle them. They use more equipment Vs regulars, and use up a "special forces cap" which limits how many you can have to a small percentage of regulars, so it's not all win. Norway isn't too bad - the mountain areas don't typically extend for more than a few tiles. But if you're fighting elsewhere, especially Asia or parts of south America, the specialist forces are much more worthwhile. I typically use my spare APM to micro tanks/Moto/mech if it's possible, and neglect mountain divisions somewhat more than I should.

    So at first i was unsure about these videos due to the length but i tell you what, having watched this far i genuinely feel like i understand the mechanics at last! Im 1400 hours into EU4 but i just couldnt grasp this until now! Having seen your playlist i really think you should also do a lets play series on HOI4. Its clear you have a passion for the game and era and think it would be a great series especially if you explained your decision making and some of the more advanced mechanics (or DLCs). Not a tutorial style as such but offering tips along the way. I really think you have the audience for it and could carve a niche out for yourself. Well done on a great series so far (i know its finished but im workint my way through them 😂)
