Goodnight all,



I've been trying to play switzerland and get steams achievements for ten times. But the new balance of power system is extremely difficult to manage, see it is "boring...."

In short, I never manage to complete the fascist tree in time, moreover when I manage to obtain the focus "go on the offensive", I no longer have the objective of war against France.



Despite long minutes to watch videos on youtube, it does not work.



Does anyone have an idea to thwart this system, or the beginning of a solution for Switzerland.



Thanking you in advance.
 
Hello,

There are many ways to achieve the four Switzerland achievements. One way that worked for me to achieve all four achievements in one run was to take early Communist and Unaligned advisors, complete the focus The Alpine Protectorate, declare war on Germany at the start of World War II, and join the Allies. For more detail, please see a link to the bottom of this post with my YouTube guide for all BBA achievements. The part with the Switzerland achievements starts at 4 hours and 39 minutes and is 45 minutes long.


Balance of Power

For your first decision, take the middle choice that provides a passive daily BOP left tick without decreasing Democracy popularity. Conserve your political power so that you may use the BOP decisions Strengthen Military High Command and Consolidate Council Power to quickly move from the middle of the BOP to Full Council Control when needed. Plan to use the BOP decision Council Diplomatic Effort at least three times. When timing the use of your BOP decisions, take into account the current BOP level, the impact of the passive daily BOP left tick, the days until a planned focus will start, and focus BOP requirements.


Democracy Popularity

At the first election, select as an advisor the Socialist Pacifist for political power gain and Daily Communist Support. In early 1936, save your political power to oust and replace another advisor with Adolf Furrer for Daily Support for Unaligned and other benefits. At the second election, select as an advisor a Militaristic Nationalist. At this point, we would have one advisor providing Daily Communist Support and two advisors providing Daily Support for Unaligned. In the third election, replace Furrer with Christian Gasser, another advisor that provides Daily Support for Unaligned. Furrer will be the president when completing the focus The Alpine Protectorate.


Declaring War on Germany and Winning a Defensive War

Use the focus Bring Democracy to Germany to declare war on Germany immediately after Germany declares war on Poland. Accept Britain's offer for you to join the Allies and their defensive war.


Good luck! Please feel free to see my YouTube guide below for more detail on this achievement or any of the other BBA achievements.

 
Democracy in Germany difficult...
Good evening, following your advice, I'm almost at the end of the road. However, access to the last step (bringing democracy to Germany) is not achieved when war with Poland is declared. Then Germany ravaged all in its path and invaded France, even before a war goal against Germany was possible.
Then, but divisions (27 combat width) are pulverized, even against Italy. Then I have no more resources or even mainpower.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Do you have any fighting tips?
Good evening and thank you again.
 
Excellent news on your progress! You've got this! :)

I should have been more clear in my earlier reply. We would have completed the focus Bring Democracy to Germany prior to Germany declaring war on Poland. That way, we have our own Annex war goal on Germany available when Germany declares war on Poland. We would not start the focus Bring Democracy to Germany after Germany declares war on Poland.

The YouTube video discusses this part of the plan at 5:24:17 (five hours, 24 minutes, and 17 seconds).

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.
 
play switzerland
Good evening, here it is done with your advice. I have obtained success ...and you get a canton....
In the details, (I played in history) and I was able to finish all the focuses until bringing democracy to Germany.
Without rushing I was able to defeat Italy, then France and Germany largely because the Russians had invaded Germany on their side.
It took me a long time, because historically the axis countries are very powerful and the allies don't arrive until very late.
On the other hand, I did not manage to obtain the success "Swiss Cheese" largely due to the news of peace conference which was difficult to understand.

Once again thank you for your advice.
Have a good evening.
