Also a bit worried about overseas allies. The United States seems rather lack luster so far and I've seen no sign of Canada, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa :\

At the start of the war they sent Expeditionary Forces to the UK. Those forces got whiped out during the fall of France.
Jakob made the decision to use them as meat shields so that he could retreat his much more valuable Motorized Devisions.
Not sure what more they're doing in terms of Lend-Lease, etc. Though.. Would be nice to see that..

Daniel did say it was a Polish Winter and not a Russian one, there is some kind of sense in that, depends how long it takes him to breakthrough the Soviet front. Ideally Spring would come before the march on Moscow

Is there any way for Germany not to have given all of that land to Latvia or Lithuania, because it seems like his army was doing most of the work their but not capturing any land

Well blow me away Barbie-rossa and with I think about 5 PZ Divisions and in winter, that man has balls, clearly in the coming months after the successful invasion of the UK the rest of his PZ Divisions will be sent to.......... hmm Scandinavia ?
Or you're about to learn a lesson in strategy. Hitler thought he'd be in Moscow quick. Daniel is more realistic so he realized its better to deal with a Polish winter and deal with longer supply lines through spring, summer, and autumn than the other way around.
I'm actually stealing this idea. Genius. I hope I get more chances to watch Daniel play

Have to say last week seemed like Aircraft were going crazy. This week I've really warmed to seeing so many- kind of epic seeing 3 bombers going by.
Also love, Love, LOVE the fighter ace feature. Looks so immersive and an event when loosing one. Would be super cool to have the odd Tank Ace; and Infantry Hero.

Don't think the paratrooper idea is that sound. Johan could counter by fortify his victory points and his airfields. The paratroopers don't have heavy weapons so they can not capture the fortifications and because Germany lacks both air and naval superiority it will be very hard to supply the paratroopers.

Hmm at the very least I think you should avoid fighting in Scandinavia or having an invasion force ready to cross the channel when you launch your invasion of the Soviet union.
I would also recommend a Panzer force larger then what came to my Birthday party last year but that’s just me.

And he still hadnt taken STockholm. I have evacuated some of the marines though, as i was severly outnumbered. Luckily, i have air superiority there. Now lets keep my marines at gotland and we'll see if germany can take sthlm or not.

Daniel just show us in very difficult but exemplar way, HOW TO NOT PLAY this game

I think Daniel did some good moves there, Since he had a very big army on the borders with USSR, which would be wasted otherwise, since he can´t reach GB nor Sweden now. So if he wins and defeat USSR with the help of his allies as well, he can use new factories and territory to reinforce his troops once again. I think he had kind of no choice but to attack, when he has many units which can´t be transported anywhere where GB´s naval or air dominance is.

Nope, none of his move was in any instance "great".
So what exactly he did?
He started war with Sweden with commiting not enough troops for this task. That war was supposed to be fast but it got extra long.
Then he decided to invade SU. Just before winter... why? because fans were asking for it (maybe, cause I dont see any other logical reason behind that).
Then, Johan did a smart move and landed a troops in sweden behind german frontline. Daniel failed to secure land he gained and is going to loose it, his units will be probably cutted off near stockholm.
Then Daniel took away another group of divisions and moved them to counter Johan´s landing at Sweden, what will be anyway definetly not enough if Johan brings more divisions as reinforcements.
By pulling out those divisions from SU front, he wont be able to advance much further and will face organized SU in full might.
Also, he comminted an army to northern shores of France for an invasion of Britain, that is not gonna happen anywy.
No, Daniel didnt made any single good move.
He just grab more that he can chew, what actually did Germans in reality.
He is going to loose

Yeah he seemed natural talking through the gameplay. And his aggressive and somewhat unorthodox strategies fun

Germany was in a bad position before and are still in a bad position. Sometimes you should sit down and plan your moves, not try to rush for victory. Like he could try to build dockyards and research some modern ships to destroy the royal navy and invade UK.

What about taking out Switzerland grabbing their industry and focusing the German industry on building up the infantry?
