    France has the "Victors of the Great War" national spirit when you hold the line at the Alps. You ended up in a gruelling static war in the Alps for a while... something that did happen in said war. Makes me believe that your fortifications at the fallback line was less building and more reactivating those of the Great War.

    • @epicness5732
      @epicness5732 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The only garrison divisions you will ever need are a division of one single cavalry regiment, and a division with mps made of as many cavalry regiments as you can fit. Also, late game, and depending on the country you're playing, the same thing applies but with armored cars instead of cavalry.

    Just rush puppet releasing focuses (every time go for more puppets) after you done france need to do "Invest to weak ally" after thet just reinstade the empire and voala you have 2 mils for puppet. (Its posible do thet solo but you need to console swap on France and Czech and manage they focuses. For bigger boost you can also do thet with puppets going full industry focuses.)

      Ok, i got it. its just random. You have to save before chosing the focus tree asking the uk and italy. Reload if they dont accept

    Don't know if this has been patched by now. But in my recent game, I noticed, that to see how much enemy equipment my maintenance companies have captured. I had to hover over my own losses up top, instead of enemy losses. 23:04
    FYI, I don't have all DLC.

    Just a tip, you can set occupation law per *STATE* so you could have had it super strict in the alps to help with local supply

    Releasing Tunisia to buffer the Italians in Africa would be a good idea. It is the only land route into French Africa and the Italian navy would be in no shape to support a naval invasion after the capitulation of the mainland.

    in my 1936 game Germany just refused to help Italy
    it was really weird because when I took a German tile they had about 40 divisions rally to that single tile, they pushed 1 tile in back to Italy and immediately turned around and went back
    that weirdness only end when italy capitulated, then germans flooded into Venice

    I'm 2 years late to the game but I've tried doing this several times and not once does Italy get called into the war before Poland capitulates. It results in the Germans steamrolling through the low countries and then steamrolling through me and I'm defeated in about 2 months. Doesn't matter what my templates are, I'm absolutely crushed.

    There just be a French focus to secure their borders and take land from and puppet low Landa and take the Rhine to better defend france and their should be a focus on the focus tree where you can get an offense buff to push germsny back to the Rhine but it gives you some debuffs after
