Everything you need to know
Tonight at 1800-2000 will be the first session of a special kind of Three Day War: It's the Devs vs. the Hearts of Iron IV community at large, spearheaded by four content creators.

Each team will be playing entirely within one nation: Imperial Germany for the Devs, and Democratic Britain for the Community team.
We've taken the 'democratic' element literally, electing a Virtual 'House of Commons' from across the HOI community to vote on and discuss the strategy for the UK. Some actions will be decided by what the house wants, not just the four players.

Read on below to find out about what the 'Virtual House of Commons' has been up to in preparation for the event.

There will be a two-hour session of the event streamed each day from June 10th - June 12, live over on our Twitch channel.

The Developer team is led by Kaiser Bratyn; he and his three supporting characters will be out to stop the community team in their tracks.

Playing the game for the HOI Community team is Taureor, Feedback Gaming, Mordred Viking, and PrussianPrince.


They are supported by the 'Virtual House of Commons'; an assembly of 32 people drawn from Mod communities, content creators and elected from steam and our social channels. They sat for the first time on Sunday, divided quickly into rival parties and began debating.

One of the first actions for the vHoC was to choose one of the content creators to take overall charge and become 'Prime Minister'. In a close fought battle, Taureor was victorious with support from the larger Commonwealth First Party.

The vHoC has since been busy debating and approving strategy, binding the hands of the players to enact their will. We'll show more of what has been happening at the start of the stream tonight.

"This is an open letter by the Imperial German Government to the British Parliament

The Kaiser has deemed it appropriate to bestow additional titles to the following individuals, in recognition of services rendered to the state of Germany and the Imperial Throne:

• Sonderbeauftragter für strategische Aufklärung Engin Mercan, in recognition of his diligent pursuit of the elimination of Nazi sentiment in our glorious nation, shall henceforth be known as Sonderbeauftragter für strategische Aufklärung und Scharfrichter für Denazifizierung Engin Mercan.
• Oberbefehlshaber der kaiserlichen Hochseeflotte Joseph Gardener, in recognition of his admirable handling of our Italian volunteers and by keen foresight having averted utter disaster in the port of Messina by the timely redeployment of our forces, shall henceforth be known as Oberbefehlshaber der kaiserlichen Hochseeflotte und Retter der Italienfront Joseph Gardener.
• Sondergesandter für die ordnungsgemäße Durchführung des Großraumwirtschaftsplanes seiner kaiserlichen Hoheit Paul Depre, in recognition of his tireless diplomatic efforts and unwavering representation of our interests to our neighbours, shall henceforth be known as Sondergesandter für die ordnungsgemäße Durchführung des Großraumwirtschaftsplanes seiner kaiserlichen Hoheit und erster Freund der tschechischen Republik Paul Depre.

The Kaiser would like to remind Members of Parliament that, in stark contrast to the bickering and squabbling of His Majesty's Government, resulting in unprecedented British military failures in Italy and the Eastern Mediterranean, the Imperial German Government leads the nation with unflinching loyalty, skill, and unity of purpose. Let these three heroes of the German People, and their accomplishments, attest to that.

In light of these failures by His Majesty's Government, your insistence on adhering to the tried-and-failed political experiment of 'democracy' can only be explained as an irrational loyalty to a system of national degeneracy. The superiority of an enlightened totalitarian form of government has been shown in the last few years. Not only has the German Empire rid itself of a criminally abusive government, but it has solved domestic poverty and unemployment almost overnight - as evidenced by the industrial miracle that has been taking place in our nation - while the United Kingdom seems hell-bent on squandering its riches on military build-up and the import of oil to keep its war-fleets out on the high seas. Germany has emerged as a proponent of peace - seeking the way of diplomacy and dialogue with its neighbours the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and France, and sending diplomatic envoys to achieve a peaceful solution in the Spanish Civil War - while British spies are time and again caught seeking to destabilise our peaceful nation by tampering with internal politics and inciting riots, and British armies have invaded - entirely unprovoked - not only Italian colonial possessions in Africa, but even the Italian peninsula itself. Those who took part in our peaceful successes have been praised; not slandered like we cannot help but notice the members of His Majesty's Government are.

We pray that you recognise the evil your cancerous 'democratic' form of government is compelling you to manifest upon our world. We pray that you see your warmongering for what it is, and for what it may lead to - as we hear rumors of plans being drawn up for the invasion of the Middle East in search for oil to fuel your invasion fleets. We pray that it is not yet too late for you to steer away from the course you have embarked on, that you may turn your eyes upon yourselves rather than towards others, and see the cancer that is spreading throughout your ancient and respected nation for what it truly is. The German Empire offers its hand in kindness and peace should Britain wish to rid itself of 'democracy', and take its rightful place as an enlightened totalitarian state upon the world scene, alongside the German and Japanese empires, both of which have exemplified peace in all its forms in recent years.

-Kaiser Drikus I, friend to the British People.
