I played on my '38 scenario last night, being at war with the USSR, pretty much following a historical approach. This is my first Doomsday game. I haven't played HOI since HOI 1.
I get to Sverdlovsk in '44, already occupying Leningrad, Stalingrad, Moscow and Baku. Japan has Vladivostok. I already knew about the requirements of the Bitter Peace from these forums. I decided that enough was enough, and settled back to wait for the Soviet surrender. It didn't come. In fact, after half a year, I decided to move on, as perhaps I needed something else. in '45 i annexed USSR. The Bitter Peace never came. With a 35% chance, that's kind of odd in two years time.
I was allied with Japan, Italy, Hungary, Romania and Vichy at the time. Japan had a few asian puppets also.
Did I misunderstand something about this event? Had I known that a full anexation was necessary, I might have considered taking control of Japan to speed things up a little. But this being my first DD game, I kind of had my hands full with the Germans...
Good game, nonetheless.
