Is it possible to lose the game to AI as Germany?

[basun]

I lost once which surprised me. I had an Afrika Korps which was quite heavy and bled equipment badly down by the Congo River. I started the war late vs soviets, like soring 42 and was met with a few hundred well supplied divisions.

I thought that yeah ok, lets pull back a bit and send reinforcements from France.

Suddenly 90 divisions break through a port in France including tanks etc.

Maybe I could turn the tide but I Quit 6 months after that. Never seen the ai do that before or after this. Fun in a way actually!

Well me and some friends played an Axis deluxe run, one was Germany, one Italy, one Romania and I was Yugoslavia and 2-3 times boosted soviet. Punched the Romanian guy so hard They reached my Yugoslavian borders in 6 weeks. The Italians were encircled in South Poland/Eastern CS while Germany would hold its baltic coast, although they fell soon after.
The whole war lasted maybe 6 months and than the AI had beaten us.

I am finding playing Germany with default settings in normal mode to be pretty easy. Is it possible to lose the game if playing as Germany? Every country, including Russia seems to be a pushover...

Of course it's possible, just put all your troops in France.

I'm new to HOI4, and I've lost two times in all the games I played. The first was the first time I played France, I sent all my tanks to Africa to take away Italy's holding, then lost to the germans in Europe. The second time was the first time I play Yugoslavia, was just straight up defeated by Germany when they decided to focus me down before taking out the Soviets. So yes, its possible to lose to AI, if you're a newb.

I'm intrigued to know what was so disagreeable about my suggestions?

Has nobody ever used house rules or role-playing to make the game more challenging?

Unless the idea was only related to making the AI more competent at resisting. In that case...I really don't know what you can do but wait and watch.

I have these friends that wait too long and and only take Poland and a 2-3 increased Soviet just steamroles them.
