I played German Reich and retained Adolf Hitler in power, I kept Heinrich Himmler out (the German that look like a Japanese), I use plan Z, don't make any treaty with Soviet, befriend with China, take all Poland, Axis alliance with Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, defeat France, USA join Allies, keep Imperial Japan out of Axis Alliance, winning air war over Britain, Operation Sea Lion landed, England nuked and cleared, suddenly Soviet demand territory from Romania, Romania rejected it, war with Soviet, nuked on soviet, Moscow captured, Spanish joined Axis, wiping US Navy, Brazil joined Allies, invaded and took Brazil, Luftwaffe over Amerika with Amerika strategic bomber that reached USA from Ireland, USA invaded, nuked and fall.

now, the last bonus was after both Allies and Communism defeated, Imperial Japan, I did not get Japan into Axis Alliance, after captured both Moscow and Washington, Hitler Reich became EPIC powerful, the oil, rubber, tungsten, factory, dock yard, ....... still can declare war with Japan! and gonna spend all those munition and war machine on them. :D
well, :( Hitler late to rescue his Fascist China o_O

that was Red ball express, version 1.1, at regular difficulty, very hard :eek:, no cheat had been used, no fake mod that work like cheat.

I played as Soviet Union. I had conquered most of the world... but then I wanted to puppet Germany instead to get the achievement. So I released Germany just to invade them!

I present to you: The shortest war in history! (took only the time it takes for a motorized division to move 1 province :) )

I know Communists are all about Internationalism, but I don't think they really understand what that word means. They seem to think it means "Mix all the nations together".

Communist Spain inside Communist Japan which is inside Communist China...


Also, when I realised I had a chance to make the Caliphate of Birmingham meme a real thing, I just had to take it.

I complained about this in another topic a while back, but now that I've found this thread, I'll post it here too.

If you want a good reason to not involve major powers in your regional disputes (and why Paradox needs to fix Peace Conferences), I give you exhibit A:

37B0A9A0506B12D0D86429395EFFD3ED47D0EAF2


The screenshot is from 1942, but the actual event happened in 1938 or 39. Basically, as fascist Yugoslavia, I declared war on Greece and Romania. When those wars were close to being won, I declared on Bulgaria to annex a little bit more land before the big show started.

During my war with Greece, I had joined the Axis (the day before Il Duce got his CB on me, by some miracle). During my war with Bulgaria, I got an offer from Japan to join wars. I unthinkingly accepted.

I plowed through Bulgaria easily, but because my war was folded into the Sino-Japanese war, I had to wait for Japan to finish with China. No worry, in this game at least they were having an easy time of it, finishing that war before Germany declared on Poland.

Peace Conference time! Except it's shitty, because my war participation is really, really low as a side-effect of folding my war into Japan's - as a combined war, most of the fighting happened in China, not Bulgaria, so I had something like 5% participation. On my first turn in the Conference, I don't even have enough score to annex a single Bulgarian province. So the conference goes like this:

1. Japan annexes some parts of China
2. I pass
3. Japan annexes more of China
4. I annex Sofia
5. Japan annexes more of China
6. I pass
7. Japan annexes more of China
8. I annex Plovidiv
9. Japan puppets whatever is left of China
10. I pass
11. Japan puppets Bulgaria

So now Japan has a small, resource-less puppet on the other side of the world that was useless in the war against the Soviets (Legionnaires Bulgaria provided all of 1 division), while I'm robbed of a dozen factory slots.

So close to getting a reasonably sane Post-War map, and yet still so far.

I honestly have no idea how this happened. I was trying my hardest to avoid stupid, and then this happened anyway.

A few days later Britain randomly declared war on the Danish Civil Union and started WW3. Then this happened:

West Germany instantly annexed the Socialist Republic of Germany, somehow.

I just wanted to give you a chance to defend your capital, but whatever you say, guys. They fell some time later when their capital province defected to me, resulting in this:

Thankfully, they still have the Communist Uprising modifier, so I'll just keep supporting communism until nothing of them is left.

I can't explain why Germany owns France, but West Germany annexes Germany if both exist and both are in the Allies. I assume the Socialist Republic of Germany joined them?

Also, I sent them a month ago and haven't seem any of my units at all. o_O
