How to play for CSA in civil war?
What I always do in the ACW as either the CSA or the AUS (the Long lads) is spam militia to about 15 divisions extra and maybe 2 more or less to get nice corps of 3 in the end (my go to corps size). Don't forget to set their upgrades to proper infantry tho, they'll form a nice core for your new American army. At the same time, I start building some nice series of infantry. In the west, I retreat to the Mississippi river and establish a defensive line there with a division on each province and a few with 2 which I can move about to defend any attempts at a crossing. Once your new divisions start rolling of the line you can place some on this front and start pushing the feds back west. My main forces will be in the north and east to take Kentucky and Virginia. Put the squeeze on the Feds around Washington, but don't be afraid to let the CSA and Feds duke it out till they bleed each other white. Choose your moment to strike and take out the northeast. From there, it should be pretty smooth sailing.I'm about Huey Long
Oh, Darkest Hour doesn't really allow for switching the played tag, so you need to save, go back to the main menu and when you select the save change over to the AUS.I didn't mean tactics, but how to become Hugh Long through an event
How do I bring Russia to peace as Germany? I've conquered everything up to the A-A line, and nothing's happening?

So, I've decided to try Commie France today, and I think there's something seriously wrong with manpower.
Is the Commune of France even possible without using console command to give yourself manpower? Even when at war and after having taken manpower modifiers, they recruit a pathetic amount of men per month, making it impossible to rebuild losses.

But I captured all those provinces and nothing happened?
Not at all."lost_VP = { country = GER value = 10 }" means that Germany (and specifically Germany, apparently; not sure if allies and faction members count) has to control 10% of Russia's owned VPs.
