    I'd assume the reason the org doesn't matter much in Spain is because everything is beduffed to all hell anyways so you may as well deal the damage instead?

    • @hatless_spider
      @hatless_spider  ปีที่แล้ว +127

      Exactly correct!!
      If you can only deal 10% of your soft attack, you need over 300 to have at least 30 soft attack in battles.
      The enemy isn't gonna hurt your org with their 1 or 2 soft attack 😆

    You gotta see if you can combine this with restoring the UK of Portugal and Brazil.
    Ultimate goal: France gets four crowns plus colonial cores, UK (England, not Portugal) gets all of that as cores through the Franco-British Union event, forms The Empire with its colonies + America from North American Federation (bonus if the US cored Alaska, Hawaii, and PR first), and unites the EU. Unfortunately you have to have a forever war or else you'll lose your cores on the 4 crowns. Probably just declare war on some tiny country but never invade.
    idk if that can even be pulled off in a single player game, but it would be amazing if it could. Would still be interesting to see as a coordinated multiplayer game.

    • @Kandall05161
      @Kandall05161 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      It'd be fairly easy in 2 player co-op, you just have one person do the exact France strat shown in this video while the other person plays a fairly standard Imperial federation run. Then they get into a faction together, France declares war on, say, Switzerland and allows themselves to capitulate (forming the Franco British Union). Unfortunately it is likely impossible single player though, as last I knew choosing the Franco-British union option as France ends your game rather than tag switching you to the UK. Even if it didn't, you'd be relying on the British AI to let you into the faction, let you die, allow the union, and not lock you out of specific important focuses prior to your switch. Kind of a shame, I was hoping the Franco-British union would be made a more fleshed out and potentially permanent path in a DLC at some point, but that seems pretty unlikely now with both having gotten their updated focus trees already.

      If you release Morocco and Syria as France, they can for Al-Andalus and Arabia respectively. If France has them as puppets, then there's a chance both get annexed with French Union, giving cores on all of Arabia and the Middle East

      @Kandall05161 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@OnlyGrafting Right, forgot about the weird restrictions on that, both have to be democratic as well so it'd be more annoying but still possible. After the end of this video, you'd have (still democratic) UK dec on France to change government them, get France in the Allies, have them re-release Germany, then dec on Germany (or guarantee Norway or whatever) and let Germany kill France. Franco-British Union forms, giving Brits cores on everything. Brits then start their political tree and go monarchist, Unite the Anglosphere focus to take US, core Ireland and retake the dominions, create North American Dominion, Imperial conference, done.
      As long as UK stays at war with somebody the union stays so just don't cap Germany until you have a forever war set up and it should be fine. Can pretty easily make an eternal union by just getting a landlocked nation surrounded by your own puppets (not called into the war), so for example puppet Russia and Mongolia but leave a free Tannu Tuva (still in charge of the Comintern) and declare on them before re-killing Germany.

    I think your divisions in Spain are a pretty interesting way of dealing with the unplanned offensive debuff. Just due to how expensive they are and how they tend to perform after the debuff is gone though I’d personally use more inf. Mountaineers are my go to as well. Great video though!

  • @leafman6439
    @leafman6439 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I found out that the most reliableway to get franco-spain on ironman historical is to just intervene in the civil war on the side of the republicans (ban comunism before to not get civil war and lose all your army) capture one nationalist region then wait for carlists to spawn, finish the focuses that get you cores while also preventing nationalists from finishing the civil war by encircling the anarchists, then retreat to the french border to let the nationalists win the civil war and lose most of their divisions. After that you just steamroll through them with your giant army and while this isn't the most core efficient as you can't get portugal cored and you don't remove the "victors of the great war" debuff early because you dont get into your own civil war I find it good enough for a fun and chill game

    Many good lessons from your strategy. Even staying Democrat, I'll copy 1) your space marine divisions (I used to put heavies, but couldn't get enough) 2) your pincher movement 3) your naval invasion of Sicily first, then on Roma's backyard since anyway you're also stuck in the North with German constant attacks on your human wall
    Some thoughts, would appreciate your opinion: I prefer Delattre De Tassigny as field marshal because he's brilliant strategist. Why did you pick Leclerq? Also I usually aim at 3 armies vs. Germany in the lowlands (=North) instead of 4: it's enough to contain the onslaught. But then I'd need another army later on to complete your pincher movement: I prefer armored to avoid losses and start with 2 div. For Spanish war: I train early 7 brigades coloniales, so that I can send 5 divisions to fight in Spain: that's even more XP gained. I see you chose the "invest in Algerian France" focus, was this after Blum-Viollette and reintegration of Algeria, because otherwise it's pointless as puppeted? Last question: how about your airforce? I beef up my fighters from 1938 to at least defend my northern armies.

    I never thought of cheesing the Spanish civil war with tons of artillery: even though it ruins unit org the crappy Spanish civil war units would barely even de-org them anyway. If you manage to get air superiority, even better.

      @@hatless_spider i played with historical. Germany destroyed poland. But only in 1941, and he manually justified on them, because war goal expired after poland refused to give danzig. I think in 1943 or 1944 Belguim, Netherlands joined allies. They joined the war but germany wasnt attacking.And later Germany declared war on Soviets, so i had to kill Germany, otherwise i would have no war score. Then i justified on Yugoslavia (They were in allies) and managed to form eu.
