Multistage battle plan - Island hopping

[glupor]

One of the things I found most tedious in previous HOI (in particular HOI3) was island hopping. I know that battleplans allow you to tell your generals to go conquer the islands, but can you give specific instruction on which islands to take first and such?

I guess it would be possible as far as I can judge from WWW. However, for naval invasions you need naval supremacy and supplies etc. Especially when dealing with big distances. I doubt an advanced battleplan like that will succeed without significant player input when it is playing out...

In HoI IV island hopping wont be as easy and quick as in HoI III. First you need naval supremacy and you need to plan the invasion for an considerable amount of time. You wont start the next invasion within a few hours but rather a few weeks. Multi-Stage battleplans are already in (the little yellow dots are an reminder for multi-staged plans). You can of course activate all at once and they will execute each step.
