I believe it's still Wilhelm III from this page; http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...-1836-1936&p=18449572&viewfull=1#post18449572
Looks like this will be a difficult and costly war for everyone involved. It is good that the US Navy can't stand up to the combined might of the High Seas Fleet and Royal Navy.
You mentioned only 24 out of 25 Nazis voted against the war? Which Nazi voted against it?
Italy will find it very difficult to enter Germany, unless they want to experience something like the IRL Isonzo Front.

This is correct.
The British were actually really helpful naval-wise. It's a nice contrast to vanilla where they would build a load of dreadnoughts in Melbourne and leave them there.
I didn't really consider which Nazi would have not voted for (he abstained rather than voted against). I am certainly unaware of the names of the Nazi Reichstag representatives. However I decided that, with such a controversial war, it was likely someone was going to not support it.
The Italians will find it difficult - they do have some routes in, however. If they play their cards right they can do some damage.
I hope there is some Manhattan Commune
Anarchism ftw!
LII - Attack on Switzerland
June - July 1928
Most of the Generals in the OHL had rejected the idea of an immediate offensive into Italy. Until the army returned from Scandinavia, it would be both bloody and probably protracted, not to mention dangerous. With the majority of professional troops in America, the soldiers on the front would be better taking up defensive positions along the Alps and wearing the Italians down than attacking.
But in June a series of fatal mistakes were made. The troops defending the Alps were thin in numbers and were reliant on being reinforced by Lorraine, Poland, Ukraine and (most of all) the Hungarians. Following a spurt in anti-war protests in Hungary, leading to inter-ethnic violence, it was feared that Hungary would have to pull back troops to deal with the situation at home - something the Generals had not accounted for.
Unfortunately this was just what happened. The execution of a Serbian nationalist in the south of the country caused huge violence, which soon spread to areas dominated by Romanians and several other ethnic minorities. The government in Berlin was irked, not least by Hungary's amateurish approach to controlling the situation, but also because of their treatment of ethnic Germans in the country.
The second mistake was with prediction of just how capable the Italian army was of launching an offensive. Both the number of troops mobilised, as well their preparation and technology, far exceeded the expectations of the OHL. Their equipment for the mountainous terrain was surprisingly sophisticated.
And the first steps of the Italians into Swiss territory was anything but tentative. Using artillery barrages by day, and aerial attacks by night, they were able to sweep into several major Swiss towns in a week: including Lugano. To the east, the Slovenian city of Udine fell after several days of heavy fighting, with Germanian troops in fast retreat to the border. Positions in Tirol and northern Ticino were also beginning to look precarious as some of the Italian population began to agitate the authorities.
Troops from Austria take up defensive positions against Italians, somewhere in Tirol.
These air attacks in particular were strikingly effective. It was not thought that air power would be a deciding factor in the south, and so both Germanian aeroplanes and anti-air guns were sparse. Plans to increase production were too little, too late, and air superiority was maintained by the Italians throughout the month
In late June Italian forces made a thrust along the Rhône river. The High Command believed they would be stalled by the fortresses along the valley and committed only a marginal amount of troops to the battle: this turned out to be yet another mistake. Unprepared for the massive onslaught of artillery, and not designed for modern warfare, the enormous Fort de Dailly fell within days. Brutal and drawn-out fighting followed as the Italians bombarded their way along the river until they met Lake Geneva and the towns around it. The Germanians were powerless to stop them. As the month ended Geneva had been encircled and captured, with the north looking increasingly insecure. Refugees began to stream into Occitania - the French, however, made it clear they would only allow French-speaking refugees in.

This was not the news the troops fighting in the opening stages of Operation Tyr wanted to hear, but as they made landfall on the beaches of Sweden, their minds were completely focused on the battle ahead. The invasion of Scandinavia required two naval landings: one on the coast directly above Malmö, and one below it. With the Swedish and Norwegian navies only of limited use, the Baltic Fleet was able to successfully blockade the area between Kattegat and the Baltic sea, meaning that as the invasion proceeded Malmö would be completely cut off.

Despite Germanian expectations, there was little defence put up by the Swedish, so as the initial Germanian troops captured the ports near which they had landed, the OHL ordered soldiers to disembark there instead of on the beaches. From this point on the invasion moved relatively quickly: streams of largely Prussian and Danish soldiers overpowered the Swedish and began to advance.
As troops in Malmö were stranded by the advancing Germanian Army their morale plummeted: whilst the majority decided to stay put, some fled - some even defected to the other side. As shells began to hit the fortifications around the city, it was realised that not even the coming Norwegian reinforcements could change the outcome: in order to prevent pointless destruction, the city surrendered.
Exhilarated by their triumph, the invading forces remained split in two: one was to travel north towards Gothenburg and Norway, the other to Stockholm. Now that the Øresund was clear, supplies and the many troops waiting in Zealand could be transported, primarily to Malmö itself.

On the American front the situation continued to improve.

I hope you enjoy the update - I would like to remind you of the ACAs if you haven't already cast your votes.
I'm surprised the Italians can put up such a fight. I mean they are Italians, they will eventually make dumb mistakes (never seen the Italian AI achieve something unless they ally with a real great power )
The question is the speed of Operation Tyr and also the pursuit of the American Front. The sooner you can take it, the sooner you'll be able to deal with the Spaghetti eaters

They definitely seemed very vicious this time around. I don't know why, maybe they're angered by not having Venice. But I was taken aback by how quickly they mobilised and attacked.
wgive some credit to the Ai... they are doing smooth... even if that does not suit you well
btw, you have my vote
btw, you have my vote
Last time I formed Grossdeutschland and went to war with Italy late in the game, they too put up a vicious fight that was surprising in its tenacity and audacity. Maybe it's because the German nations gets so big that the AI goes into over-drive to compensate?

The AI has been surprisingly competent this game. I congratulate it.
And thank you!
This could be it, I don't know the specifics of how the AI works so couldn't say for certain.
Yes, never underestimate the Italians, even as Greater Germany. I did it once and I got the same results you (and I see a few others) have gotten. I'd imagine I might've been in even greater trouble too if I were trying to invade the United States at the same time (instead of a France beaten down from previous wars in my case).

LIII - In Hannibal's Footsteps
July - August 1928
July wore on and the Italians continued to make staggering advances. As they continued up the west side of Switzerland, the Italian Generals saw an opportunity: they ordered a swing out of Switzerland into Lorrainian territory, trapping several thousand Swiss troops who were awaiting an attack on Neuenburg. Lorraine itself was woefully unprepared for war, having only a small army, and could do very little to repel the Italians as they terrorised the small towns and villages they encountered.
In the east, the last resistance offered in Slovenia crumbled. Hungarian troops made a quick retreat from Maribor and, on the 15th of July, the Slovenian government declared itself in exile in Berlin. Terrifyingly, the Italians started approaching the Austrian and Croatian borders unrelentingly. They began to make preparations to annex Venice, South Tyrol, Trieste and parts of Slovenia into the Italian Empire.
The Italian advance into southern Germania.
It was at this point that the Italians, now confident they had enough mobilised troops behind them, sped up their advance. Ticino fell within days, and the specialist mountain units began to move into the dangerous central areas of Switzerland. As they approached the treacherous Gotthard Pass, numerous members of the OHL realised their choice: they could, potentially, detonate the explosives inside one of the greatest feats of engineering in the Reich: the Gotthard Tunnel. Stresemann refused. It was unlikely to phase the Italians.
At this time, some of the plans set forwards by Minister for Reconstruction and Civilian Protection, Heinrich Häberlin, were put into action. Radio receiver sets were distributed free of charge to all citizens living close to where conflict was likely to take place. They were subsequently sold on a one-per-family basis to all other households in the Reich. Designed to be able to receive broadcasts and orders from the government, they were enormously successful (becoming known as Häberlin-empfängers). Häberlin himself orated some of the broadcasts, ensuring that the public were educated on how to protect themselves against bombing raids - minor raids had began to encroach upon numerous southern cities. He became known affectionately as "Onkel Heinrich."
Häberlin was initially treated with suspicion by the Germanian public, but quickly
became a well respected politician.
By this point, however, the first shells were beginning to hit the Swiss capital of Bern. Stresemann ordered the immediate withdraw of the government from the city, to be relocated further north. The majority of Hungarian defenders, providing a great deal of artillery, fled when reports revealed the Italians to be less than 15 miles from the outskirts.[1] Demoralised, the Swiss army welcomed reinforcements from Baden and Bavaria, and desperately began digging trenches. But it was no use: surrounded, they surrendered after two days, on the 29th of July. Enemy troops had, effectively, breached the great natural defence that was the Alps and were now on the Swiss plateau.
The Germanians attempted to rally their troops to catch the Italians by surprise, desperately preparing to defend the city of Lucerne from falling in turn. Panicked by a pincer movement from the west and north, they became trapped against Lake Lucerne, resulting in order breaking down and many troops fleeing the battle. It soon became apparent that the earlier words of the Kaiser were ringing true: "A Swissman with a rifle will defend his home will tooth and nail and could fell half an army. Put him in a uniform and in open battle, and it seems we might as well throw stones."[2]
Zürich fell soon after, and it appeared that, save for a large resistance pocket in the mountains, Switzerland was now under enemy occupation.
Across the sea, in America, this news did not improve the morale of the troops. Facing heavy casualties, General von Seeckt ordered a short pause whilst the British caught up with their Germanian allies: he realised that to break the defensive lines he would have to work with the British troops. If he could outflank the Americans there would be chaos in their ranks.
A length anti-tank ditch. It soon became apparent these defences were more
superficial than they appeared.
Merciless shelling of some of the principal American cities commenced: the Royal Navy moved in to attack Boston, whilst the Germanians bombarded Albany using their guns. It immediately became obvious that the "defensive line" was not as impressive as the name implied: it was more a chance for the Americans to rally their troops and launch a counter-attack than a fortified position.[3] And so, with the William Guns raining shells down upon Albany, the two armies commenced their pincer movement to capture the city.
The pincer closes (German troops in grey, British in red).
A large portion of the American 5th Army lied in wait around the town of Amsterdam, having retreated from conflict in the north. Immediately, they realised that they would not be able to lure the approaching enemy into the trap they had hoped, and instead were forced to engage them in open combat. The resulting conflict was ferocious, as the American infantry wrecked massive casualties upon the European troops over the course of three days of intense fighting. Eventually, however, air superiority and the presence of tanks overwhelmed the Americans as the British slowly encircled their positions: several American Generals surrendered whilst the rest were able to escape south. The road to Albany was open and, after a few days of muted street fighting, it fell on August the 10th.
A destroyed street in Albany.
With Germanian troops engaged in the west, British troops would have to take Boston with only limited support, which nonetheless many back at home enjoyed the historical aspect to. Boston harbour was completely blockaded by the Royal Navy, but the British soldiers knew that this would be a hard nut to crack: they expected vicious resistance from the Bostonians. In reality, however, this was more weak than expected and, as they advanced slowly into the surrounding towns, the British noticed the Americans fighting each other as much as the advancing forces: this was the climax of the New England separatist movement.
"Divide and conquer," remarked General Maxse, "is something we appear to excel at."
With American troops hopelessly distracted, the British were able to encircle the city. Rather than storm it, High Command elected to besiege it or wait until an opportunity arose to attack: the citizens inside were heavily armed compared to those in Albany.
Meanwhile, in Scandinavia, a spearhead attack on the outskirts of Gotherburg had ended in disaster; the surprise arrival of Norwegian troops had meant that, in disaray, the Germanian army had lost order and become separated. Consequently, about half of the 9th Army were encircled by Scandinavian troops and captured. It was not only humiliating, but a serious setback in the offensive and one that many feared would see the collapse of the Western Front in Sweden.
[1] This was partly because many Hungarian troops had already been recalled due to the increasingly severe domestic situation.
[2] The Swiss were mainly trained basic shooting skills, and were known to be effective in defending their homes. They were not trained well in army discipline.

I severely underestimated them, it seems... In regards to guns, that was an assumption I made, in that limited gun control had been enacted.Yes, never underestimate the Italians, even as Greater Germany. I did it once and I got the same results you (and I see a few others) have gotten. I'd imagine I might've been in even greater trouble too if I were trying to invade the United States at the same time (instead of a France beaten down from previous wars in my case).
"A gun behind every blade of grass"--hopefully for your soldiers one of the Socialist governments in the US took away the Second Amendment
Bringing up gun control in any thread is like bringing a firework onto the Hindenburg.
Thank you! And yes, I'm afraid my updates are rather sporadic.Just caught up with reading. Very well written I enjoyed it. I'm kind of sad that I'll now have to wait for updates though
Once the war is over, would you mind showing some screens of the economy? You must be top3 producer of most industrial goods by now.
And I will indeed do that when I'm finished with this war. Germania is a mass producer of many commodities.
