Italy can be surprisingly competent at times... I had a game where I was really struggling to capitulate the soviet union. I was nearly there (like 98% capitulation) but I just couldn't make any progress anymore and then my saviours from Italy navally invaded eastern russia somehow, marched straight to Vladivostok and then, standing on the tile before Vladivostok they started retreating to god knows where. So, Italy can be surprisingly competent at times, but never for long enough to be useful.
I had one game as Romania, everything went according to plan, Germany killed France and the benelux no problem, I helped Italy get the Suez, Barbarossa started, I was around Crimea, when I got the popup "the fall of London". I watch there, and Italy put up a huge naval invasion of the UK. I take some troops, send them there, just for Italy to retreat with no apparent reason against a not great British army (we killed a bunch of stuff in Africa and Japan was pushing India) and some trash Canadians. I mean, they got London and then decided "sure, let's get out of there, our job is done".
@@12gark Reminds me of when I completely obliterated the BAF and Royal Navy, was preparing for a naval invasion of England and then saw Spain took out both Scotland and south East England in one go, then sent another naval invasion to Liverpool a month later and ...... didn't advance. I was fully ready to not even send troops there to let them bask in the glory, they deserved it (I was playing as Italy) and ....... they just stopped and I needed to actually get there to capture like two cities to cap them The AI .....
@@sephikong8323 oh yes, when you win the Navy war as Italy you are in for a real treat, the AI HAS to do something really dumb. My highlights of that scenario where Germany invading South Africa from Madagascar in the middle of Barbarossa (also, it was a 1v1 Barbarossa, i formed Rome and I had my army fighting the US in Canada when they declared, so I didn't join for quite a bit), and Bulgaria invading India from Ethiopia while I was preparing a sealion with all my quality troops in Northern France. I'm really waiting for the next DLC just to play more Italy and see more of this, it's super hilarious.
Capybara fact : Capybaras are from about 39 to 51 inches (100 to 130 centimeters) long and about 20 inches (50 cm) tall from foot to shoulder. They tend to weigh 60 to 174 lbs. (27 to 79 kilograms), depending on gender. Females are usually a little larger than males.
Pretty sure whoever sent the save added the light tank in your division at the last minutes before sending the save in just to mess with you. Probably better off spend some military xp to remove them entirely.
Oh Alex. Sending green Fighter 1s against a superior number of probably veteran Fighter 2s… Sending submarines into the channel where they can be seen from the moon… But hey as long as CAS is still king you’ll be alright!
Can’t express enough just how much this hit well in all the right ways at a time in life that could really use some Ramble joy. Thank you Alex (and Matt and Lady Rambler) for the lovely 22:40 minutes of a happy time after a long day. Missed you all a lot. Much love
I have to say i really enjoy you pulling off these impossible wins. It's a great to watch you cherish a victory after a tough fight. Especially when you think all hope is lost, only to rally and win in the end
You should put the blaming finger in the grave and start to use the frickin workin hands . Like its become a meme the absurdety of the context of the disaster scenarios
I hope that is sabotaged. I mean it is obviously. Someone sending a save to rambler without knowing anything is just not possible. But if for some reason its not sabotaged. Someone should be more concerned about himself then a savegame. Because it would be a person with an below 20 iq. And that is not able to live without help
Apparently in a interview with a German solider who rough in both the western and Eastern front he said he feared Canadians the most not because of skill but because they showed no mercy and would do brutal bayonet charges. he said that Canadians almost never took prisoner’s.
I feel that black dude from interstellar when they got back to the ship on that water planet Its been 26 years........... Ps sick intro big fan of that
*I'm back baby! Missed me?*
yesss
He’s backkkk!
Oh yes
Yes
yess welcome back Alex

Mind-blowing

@Harry P. ness no
yey capybara
@Harry P. ness they just wanna pull up at the party and be your friend :(
The man, the myth, the giddy legend
19:17 I luv how spain is just chilling in ireland and alex ignored that

the thing that disappointed me the most was the partial mob rather than war eco in 1942
The thing that was most insane was fascist America.
That was crazy but the partial mob was just disheartening, I thought we as a community had at least a base lvl of IQ
@@greergrapple2227 Pfff happend to me too. Doesnt have anything to do with IQ, more with brainpower in the memory direction xD
Alex to his allies' troops: some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make. Channeling Lord Fahquad
Yes he’s back! Love to see the Rambler upload notification drop! Hope you are well & refreshed Sir.
Oh Alex. Sending green Fighter 1s against a superior number of probably veteran Fighter 2s…
Sending submarines into the channel where they can be seen from the moon…
But hey as long as CAS is still king you’ll be alright!
19:03 the "villain" speech was brilliant XD

Poor chat, must never get through a day without being blamed for all ramblers probelms
[cause they did really cause all of them]

@@akiamini4006 wdym
My question is how he thought he could have 200 brigades with 1 million men and 40 width brigades. Simplest answer is just consolidating your men.
Nothing better than "easing in" after a vacation than having to deal with a 60.000 tanks deficit.
19:08 Your new EMPIRE?! Alex, I’m sworn to uphold gaming! For the nerdiness!
Huzzah! The return of the king!
Missed your content, Alex. Glad to see you back
After watching these disaster i suddenly feel better about my hoi skills lol
We’ve missed you Alex!
Alex remember when you went to Niagara Falls? You made an excellent video there!
Hey dude, I only found your channel while you were away! Welcome back. Love your HOI4 playthroughs
Welcome back! I hope your rest was good and you’ve good everything sorted going forwards. Speaking from experience, burnout is no joke
Seems appropriate that a Napoleon scuffs it up in Germany
"I'm in a terrible situation, let's just justify on another nation" that's exactly how Operation Barbarossa went for real.
I'm sorry but that laugh near 19:15 is literally voldemort 🤣🤣
It's good to see you back. Hope all is well.
Welcome back, Sir.
This game is sabotaged due to Templets are up, but no equipment for it.
After all those years of playing HOI4, you failing to beat UK in Netherlands is a classic Alex thing to do.
Happy to see you back Alex!
I hope that is sabotaged. I mean it is obviously. Someone sending a save to rambler without knowing anything is just not possible. But if for some reason its not sabotaged.

19:14 Voldemort xD
Classic Canadian move whenever someone pokes fun at their military. VIMY RIDGE!
Seeing that start gave me an aneurism O.O
Welcome back alex! Been watching ur old videos while i wait :D
God, I've missed these. Happy days. Watching Alex is a little Ray of sunshine.
Love how you do the email in a star wars theme at the start lol
One of your best in awhile! Good to have you back! Hope you had an excellent holiday.
Good to have you back Alex.
The legend is back, I really love the save game content, keep it up.
I liked this video after 8 seconds.. hope you enjoyed your break 😁
That reminds of my most recent game
Was playing as Germany and 2 years into the war had a deficit of 1,500 fighters and 3,000 tanks.
Good to have you back!
woah, good to have you back Alex
Ya man! Here around! Bienvenu, Alex!!
Glad to see you back, Alex! Looking forward to more coming from you soon!
That's a pretty good booking for your return....Napoleon Bonaparte.
Apparently in a interview with a German solider who rough in both the western and Eastern front he said he feared Canadians the most not because of skill but because they showed no mercy and would do brutal bayonet charges. he said that Canadians almost never took prisoner’s.
Welcome back mate hope your holiday was relaxing!
Literally thought to check on the channel to make sure i didnt miss the return from the break on my drive home from work lol

Welcome back Mr. Rambler
RAMBLERRRRRRRRRR! KENOBI AND RAMBLER ON THE SAME DAY
Is it going to fit a pint of beer? There is only one to find out.
Oh, you are back :D
I had a Stellaris savegame you'd have enjoyed it was micro hell. If only it never got updated back when sectors were still fun.
who needs any equipment and manpower in your divisions
I feel that black dude from interstellar when they got back to the ship on that water planet Its been 26 years...........
Ps sick intro big fan of that
Welcome back!!!
Welcome back Alex!
The moment I watched two Tommy videos Alex gets recommended. Why is TH-cam always forcing me down these dark paths
(Still watched the whole video)
Liking just because of the bloopers and Lady Rambler
It’s good to have you back rambler me son
Welcome back!
What's ur mod for the battleplans
Another great video! Keep it up
Napoleon III is a criminally underrated leader, so I resent that insult on him my friend
Welcome back. You tube missed the greatest hoi4 playa
When the world was in peril, the emperor returned. Long live Rambler I of Vancouver
