    Actually you don't even need to Naval Invade Italy, you can just move your troops to their lands through port once you have military access, just place them around the places they are not currently sitting on and you can immedietly pin or attack.

    For the life of me, I cannot seem to get naval supremacy over the UK. I have 91 boats and 22% air superiority, and It's still at like a good 30-70% in favor of the UK.
    Do you have any tips / tricks for me to actually get the naval invasion to fire? I've noticed that the AI on avalanche doesn't seem to remove their navy from a sea even for a split second
    (This was all done on avalanche btw) update i managed to do the achievement by reforming the strat a little.
    I did the whole italian invasion of '37. Once that was done i used the cheese strat to just farm turkish troops and easily cap them. Joined the axis back and took out the UK with paratroopers (real difficult since there is no battle for north africa so UK has all its troops home. Puppeted romania took a little balkan states and puppeted north india (i was poor after germany decided to not give up romania easily in the treaty) Jumped USSR with germany as per usual. They had me crying in 1958 trying to cap the USSR. Managed to do it and got the achievement 👍

    • @thetibbiesshow
      @thetibbiesshow  11 месяцев назад +1

      Try the North Sea to East Yorkshire. If you own the Suez and/or Gibraltar, the Italian navy might help give you naval supremacy. Also, move your fighters into north Germany/Holland and use them to naval bomb/gain air supremacy over the UK. Lastly, use spy’s to get 100% intel over the UK and infiltrate their navy. With all of that, you should get naval supremacy eventually.

    • @thetibbiesshow
      @thetibbiesshow  11 месяцев назад +1

      Not sure what you’re doing wrong, because it shouldn’t be difficult at all. Push when you can strategically, not just field marshal assaults. When you cant push, just hold. The Germans will do most of the fighting, all you really have to do is hold once you land. Having spies on Italy can also help a ton.
      The Italians didn’t ignore me, they sent so many units that I couldn’t push towards Rome, it wasn’t until the Germans broke through their lines that Italy moved units away from the front lines with me. Once that happened, then I could push again.

    • @redoctober67
      @redoctober67 11 месяцев назад +1

      I'll give it another try. It took all that time for the Germans to break free. BUT the strategy where you keep units in Italy instead of naval invading worked, so I'm gonna see if I can continue to find a way to work that angle.@@thetibbiesshow

      So I got the subscription so I can test it out with BBA, and the Italian Army seemed VERY different than when I first commented. Also, I tried the stationing units in Italy technique, and that worked like a charm. Lastly, I switched to a VERY aggressive plan of attack, using Force Attack as much as reasonably possible, and was able to push to Rome and take just about everything needed and more. I do think the DLC alters how Italy will do.@@thetibbiesshow
      HOWEVER, as I progress into mid-1940, Soviet Union always justifies on me, declares war, and opens that front. British magically keep their fleets parked in the route where a naval invasion should easily go. I utterly hate the AI in this game.

    • @redoctober67
      @redoctober67 11 месяцев назад

      @@thetibbiesshow alright, finally got it with the guide. The key is to honestly make a pre-war restore point. It seems totally random if the UK moves its fleet away. If your invasion doesn’t go off by June-July, reload your save. As long as the invasion goes off, you’ll finish your war before the Soviets can finish justifying on you. Then, puppet Romania (without Besserabia so you can create a German buffer), and the Soviets will leave you alone and not activate their war goal since you no longer have a land border. Germany and the Soviets will likely do their thing, leaving you free to mop up Vichy at your own pace. Then when you’re ready, you can do Horror and Fear to take on Turkey and the Soviets. Naval invading the crap out of Turkey makes it a lot easier.
      Got the achievement as soon as the peace deal was done (after I created Byzantium. The game only checks for a minimum of one puppet’ed state, so you can fight with Germany in the peace deal for as much of the Soviet Union as you like so long as you get Turkey for sure.
      Be warned though you’ll constantly have to fight your Italian puppet since they’ll get a ton of autonomy from you using their divisions. I had to knock them down from Dominion several times!
