Trainment for the DH (I played Hoi4 before)

[PARAfel]

So this question is after i posted the failured post (Battle Plan in DH) when i asked about an mod that converts hoi4 features (or a small convert) to the DH as i think that the DH gameplay is boring because i was playing hoi4 too much and i not have much time in microing divisions and units. I ask here about an mini tutorial or a great one for train me for the DH as an hoi4 player.

Thankful if you help me

Welcome to the game! Feel free to ask any questions you like here so we can help. Also, read some of the After Action Reports to get a feel for the game and some of the mods.

Finally, there's actually a manual for the game. It's pretty old, but a lot of the information found in it is still relevant. Here's a link to the manual:

You might wanna check Youtube. Denchikus has a good variety of Darkest Hour content.

From what ive seen on YT, HOI4 dumbs down the gameplay to nothingness. What i suggest before you try DH (or god forbid the mods) is give it a couple of whirls first as Italy to get the feel of the game before jumping to Germany.

I did preorder that abomination! Still hurts my heart...

One tip I would give is to divide your forces in multiples of three. So if you want to make for example an armored force as Germany, combine two armored divisions and a motorized ones. Using this rule will probably save you a lot of headaches due to how comand limits works. Also for HQ units, make then separate forces and always under Field Marshall. This units are vital for offensive operations as they allow you to double your command limit on the attack. Finally as a starting nation I recommend the UK, much more interesting than Italy IMHO

It doesn't make sense in DH Full, because you don't get combined arms bonus for that and you lose mot. divisions' speed advantage.

Yes it doesn't, I was just giving an example. I generally prefer to combine armored divisions with motorized because it is cheaper (as you can upgrade foot infantry to it relatively cheap) ,but of course it depends on each nation.
