Italy concluded the campaign with 17 Carriers and 17 Battleships remaining. Thanks for watching!

When WW2 lasts over 20 years and kills like 200 million soldiers alone

[@robertalaverdov8147]

Over 300 million casualties, probably close to 350 million depending on Japan and China. Plus millions more dead from the nuclear fallout. Something like 20% of the worlds population at the time.
Truly apocalyptic!

[@thorshammer7883]

Yeah!
Italy was helpful at last.

[@Lawnmower737]

It’s weird because despite the Axis victory, this global war would lead almost immediately to an economic depression. All of the fighting nations are without enough young people to repopulate (in areas that are allowed to at least 👀), the wars cost, the resources, etc. would lead to a mutilated victory. Yes the Axis and possibly theAsian Prosperity Sphere won but the governments would collapse, leading this war to mean completely nothing 🙃

[@emreahmet167]

I don't think so. It only happen in capitalist economies.

In this Italy lost dam near half of there pop (what was in the military, not even civilians) at the time (well pop as 1939 irl, IDK how pop fully works in HOI4), the rest IDK but it's probably also a major ouch in pop as well, considering the long fight on the east coast

[@GameWatcher545]

Stats fall apart somewhat when a nation or a faction loses, depending on what was set in the table, sorry about that.

[@ismaelmolina8882]

How about if you can make Ultra Tech China? Can China will hold on against Japanese Attacks?

[@GameWatcher545]

Yep of course it can. It will also naval invade and conquer Japan if given a navy, tested it quick the other day. But problem with that setup is what after Japan falls, it is basically game over.

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

Even with a strong navy, Italy struggled to hold Africa.
Is the Ai just not very good at understanding the frontline in Africa or whatever? You know, except for the allies ai.

[@GameWatcher545]

yep it rather often confuses itself. I was watching indeed how it left Africa empty while naval invading Britain.. but well perhaps it knows something we don't x)

MY OPINION

[@EntityVsEntityInteractions]

This went eerily similar to how my most recent Elite Germany game went... slow grind through Russia and surrender in 45 England by 46 and the invasion of America taking well into the 50s...

[@AlekThink]

Why vichy is not painted like axis? In fact it was controlled by them and fighting allies

[@GameWatcher545]

At some recent point/update they started actually joining the war at a later date and getting painted as Axis. They are part of it just not in the war for a while. It just ends up looking like that for which ever reason.
