With only a couple of transports, the whole bloody war could be decided. Landing in Britain or northern France should be a shocking experience for either nation.

It's a beer fermented with the tears of English widows or something evil like that. And yes, all hail Japan, who has managed to conquer half the world with bayonets and two transports.

...What's a "hoch-see-flotte?" Sounds like a beer. :p
Let's see what "National Oceanographic" can tell us about these creatures:

The "Hochseeflotte" (furor teutonicus navalis dominans) is an animal approximately the length from Kiel to Lisboa (~1200 nm).
They hunt in packs and their grey paint gives them great natural camouflage in the weather conditions on the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
The Hochseeflotte is a predator and mostly hunts British naval vessels and prefers them to any other ships. If none of these are available, smaller prey like French, Russian or Italian navies are also on the menu.
The question what actually fuels their movement cannnot be answered with certainty yet. Some studies indicate that they collect the shattered hopes and dreams of British sailors.
Others indicate that they put Mjölnir in front of the first ship and put Thor on this lead ship, so he is always pulling the whole ship forward towards his hammer and the other ships are being pulled by the lead ship.
There is even a theory that they run on solar power, because the Germans wanted to build the first climate friendly fleet in military history and are only sinking other ships to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. That would also explain why they prefer not operate around Scotland.

There are rumors that the Hochseeflotte is in fact the Loch Ness monster. This is of course silly, for at most that monster carrier six 15 inch guns, whereas it is well know that the Hochseeflotte averages 14 15 1/2 inch guns.

Not to mention the Hochseeflotte has yet to approach anyone asking for tree-fitty.

And that, naturally.

The Entente is claiming that they have a dastardly plan (well, at least the Frenchman is). We also have a dastardly plan (Spoiler: It involves killing people). Next session is going to be exciting. And the death of the Entente if I have anything to say about it!

More glorious naval slaughter! I bet that by now the Central Powers could just strangle Britain, blockade her in and take all overseas possessions at your leisure.
Once my current game is over, and if HOI IV hasn't released by then, I have to try the WW1 mod again. This is too much fun.

Japan and it's two transports must get around to occupying the Indian and Burmese ports first before heading over the Europe, so it is written.

I like how you can get into the war right in the first session, which is a nice change from needing two sessions just for build-up in vanilla, assuming we're talking about the usual 1914 and 1936 scenarios respecively.

I like WW1 more than WW2, so I would be playing these games no matter what, but a giant +1 for this mod on multiplayer is defiantly the fact that all the majors sans the Ottomans and Italy (and America, but they're not really a major in this mod) can be at war within one session.

Play 1938 scenario in Vanilla.
:rolleyes:
If they would start in 1910 scenario, I`m not sure they would get into WW1 within 3 sessions.
