I mean, the japan player did really good, he just could not handle the insane micro against 3 or 4 allies at the same time, he was dealing with the invasion against 3 players at least, and meanwhile being sacked by the dutch marines, epic match tbh.

6:45 I think the south side is where the Dutch traded with isolationist Japan so the Netherlands getting southern Japan feels weirdly right in a alternative history
Yep, the Dutch traded for over 200 years on the artificial island of Dejima in Nagasaki Bay during Sakoku. Weird how the botched peace deal ended up feeling more fitting.
The war with Japan ended 6 months after the irl start date. I guess Yamamoto was correct tho, 6-12 months of going wild before he got his cheeks clapped.
I love how this is literally just ww2: extreme edition Fight for North Africa? No, Italy is already all the way down to the Cape and trying to fully push the allies off the continent! Surprise attack on Pearl Harbor bringing the US in? Nah, surprise invade the entire west coast instead!
I imagine Japanese soldiers gaurding the port of San Francisco wondering when the next supply shipment will come in, and on the horizon they see a half-sunken shrimp boat being captained by Jakku Suparō.
They forgot to protect the port. Imagine being a transport ship. A Convoy of them. You've evaded allied raiding across the entire pacific to bring food and supplies to the troops. Pulling into port. Only to see a unit of American infantry matching into the port unopposed. All that effort. To face the fact none of it will help anymore.

Really a good script when the US can go from being on its knees at an overwhelming Japanese inavsion to completely overwhelming both Japan AND Italy in multiple theatres in less than an ingame year. Truly this deserves a spot at the Oscars, Bo 🙂
That's what happens when you completely overextend yourself. The other side just plows into your undefended flank and then you're entire army gets cut off.

Not that I dislike your other vids bo. But Hoi 4 is my favorite by far, and the recent scripts have been some of the best writing I've seen. Keep it up!
This reminded me of the World in Conflict campaign. Except instead of Soviets, it's the Axis. Just casually pulling into ports across the west coast with ships full of military units. Launching a full scale invasion before anyone even knew what was going on. That's awesome.
I like to imagine all those disbanded Italian divisions in South Africa just diffused into the local population, spawning yet another subculture of European origin to South Africa
When I saw the title “Wolverines!” I knew it was a ‘Red Dawn reference, but damn, was this so much better than I expected! Bo, you deserve an Emmie for these scripts recently, mate!

I know this is an old video and usually I'm not a huge fan of bo, just the rest of the crew, but bo being legit angry about taking something that he shouldn't have is a nice moment.
Imagine being American during this time almost losing the entire country then completely turning around and destroying Japan. Then completely destroy the axis. Within that time
This was a absolutely outstanding script Bo, you just keep getting better and better at writing theese, maybe one day you may write a real hollywood movie!
Man its like Dankus said in one of his recent videos with Bo, Golden always has some big brain Monkey strat. It either makes him look like a god or he looks like the worst player in the history of HOI4.

You don't even know how many times did I watch all of the previous videos couple of times, I can't wait for more of Victoria 2 videos and u should really do Hoi3 again lool
Having driven throughout most of the United States I am curious how the Japanese are managing this invasion they pull off in this game. The Western parts of the US are both expansive and mountainous.
America is massively nerfed in HOI4 to make Axis victory even vaguely possible. Industry, civilian resistance levels, everything is a proportional fraction of what it was or would have been irl. Even with massively nerfed America, it's still quite difficult to cap them.
@@ethanyeung6216 Not really. Even with the great depression, america STILL has like 90 civs building at the start of the game. Once the depression's over they you only have about a year to beat them. I have only beaten them twice after 1941 and in the first time they lost their entire army defending britain's colonies (not to mention the soviets and germans didnt go to war until after the war).
@@mappingshaman5280 If the industry proportions followed irl proportions, then America would start with something like hundreds of civs. Like I said, it's hard enough to fight America as is.

@@Normacly Its a bad way to balance the game. Britain holding Gibraltar blocking the streights of Gibraltar while Spain holding large ammounts of land on bough sides not blocking the streights of Gibraltar makes no sense. I for one think that games should be balanced by making them more realistic not less realistic. In Worno for example unsuported tanks will be wreched by infantry if sent in to an urban enviroment which makes you want to just use artirlery to turn the city in to rubble and take it one all the defenders are dead and this is literally what is happening in Ukraina.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Because in real life, Spain never join the Axis nor did it supplied Germany with enough materials to field thousands of tanks than it did in real life. The game is about fun, not real life, because otherwise America joining the Allies will always secured their victory with it massive economy.
@@Normacly "Because in real life, Spain never join the Axis" And the main benifit of Spain joining the Axis would be that they could easly conquer Gibraltar and take that naval base away from the british. I mean the germans wanted military access to do exactly that. "The game is about fun" And making it horribly unrealistic that brakes all immersion is not fun. Gibraltar is one port. "otherwise America joining the Allies will always secured their victory with it massive economy." If the Allies can play atleast as well as the Axis yes the Allies should win every time and the game will still be fun because when the Allies make mistakes the Axis have a chance. Of all things that the game should have there should be a peace treaty system not just capitulation or white peace, because German victory in WW2 is winning the eastern front and making peace with the Western Allies and Japanese victory is winning in China and making peace with America. I for one do not believe multiplayer games need bough sides to be equal. Asymetric maps are just as fun but harder to make.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Dude, I meant in that as soon as the US joined the Allies it will means the Axis will lose no matter what. In real life, the US alone produced 45% of the war materials in WW2, which is more than the entire Axis. However, in the game both vanilla and modded, the US is nerfed to make the game enjoyable for other nations. Germany or Japan alone can almost match US production even in the late game.

In Worno for example unsuported tanks will be wreched by infantry if sent in to an urban enviroment which makes you want to just use artirlery to turn the city in to rubble and take it one all the defenders are dead and this is literally what is happening in Ukraina.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Because in real life, Spain never join the Axis nor did it supplied Germany with enough materials to field thousands of tanks than it did in real life.
The game is about fun, not real life, because otherwise America joining the Allies will always secured their victory with it massive economy.
@@Normacly "Because in real life, Spain never join the Axis" And the main benifit of Spain joining the Axis would be that they could easly conquer Gibraltar and take that naval base away from the british. I mean the germans wanted military access to do exactly that.
"The game is about fun" And making it horribly unrealistic that brakes all immersion is not fun. Gibraltar is one port.
"otherwise America joining the Allies will always secured their victory with it massive economy." If the Allies can play atleast as well as the Axis yes the Allies should win every time and the game will still be fun because when the Allies make mistakes the Axis have a chance. Of all things that the game should have there should be a peace treaty system not just capitulation or white peace, because German victory in WW2 is winning the eastern front and making peace with the Western Allies and Japanese victory is winning in China and making peace with America.
I for one do not believe multiplayer games need bough sides to be equal. Asymetric maps are just as fun but harder to make.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Dude, I meant in that as soon as the US joined the Allies it will means the Axis will lose no matter what.
In real life, the US alone produced 45% of the war materials in WW2, which is more than the entire Axis.
However, in the game both vanilla and modded, the US is nerfed to make the game enjoyable for other nations. Germany or Japan alone can almost match US production even in the late game.
Craziest episode in a while, awesome game!
One of the fastest collapses of the axis, not in year, but just the time it took to switch it up on em and kill em
When Europeans start making references to American patriotism movies that you don't understand until you read the comments
Unbelly of Europe?
One of my favorite episodes, I find it very entertaining when Japan do that ! It changes from the "normal" pacific war.
I would love to see the footage of this from the other side :D
