I tried pure infantry + planes, Marines + Heavy tanks + HSPA, Light tanks + LSPA...you name it, I could no longer blitz Tibet. It used to be a piece of cake, but now it just becomes an impossible task lol...

Can you lords of Hoi4 please give me some advice on how to do this?

Okay, man, I'll try it again tomorrow. What if the capital is guarded?

Capture everything immediately around the capital- and attack from all sides. Your men may die from lack of supply if they lose but it might be enough to stop their front line troops from getting supply, thus making them easier to push through.

Wow that actually sounds like it might work! Thanks a lot!

Does the new air drop system work at all? Even with 200 transport planes, there's so little supplies...

I noticed that myself, I actually didn't notice the difference at all to be honest. I was going to make a thread on it and forgot :p Even if it's a little bit more supply, it might be enough to hold your paratroopers in there for longer.

I think there's an out-of-supply grace tech for special forces too now, meaning Paratroopers can survive longer behind enemy lines- but that may be part of the mod I'm using as I'm not sure how much they changed on that tech tree.

Mass assault doctrine has 48 hours out of supply grace too. If you actually put the enemy front lines out of supply via the drops in addition to your own troops, you get a 48 hour head start on them while being in the same situation.

Have you tried that strategy? Does that actually work? I often get swarmed and cut off when I try it lol

Not as Bhutan of course. The problem this patch is that you can't make enough battalions to do trick play surrounds unless you've hundreds of divisions. It's usually easier to get air superiority to slow the enemy down then micro a simultaneous line-spanning push with some fast stuff (cav or faster), you can flat out overrun hundred + divisions w/o a proper encirclement on long fronts that way.
