What an amazing Stalin generals rp on the side of the soviet players tho. The entire front collapses around them and all they do is point at each other hoping they won't get the blame.
Holy shit, the miscommunication at the end was such a riot. Kind of wish there was a continuation, but I imagine the Allies were pretty done with all the shenanigans going on considering the game ended afterwards.
'its Mongolia's job' Well ask for some of their armies and use them where you actually need them Even just as line fillers to absorb some of the casualties if they are short if equipment. Sigh
Ah yes, I remember that chapter in history about the Great Soviet Skill Issue of 1942. When the generals were asked about it, they all simply replied “wasn’t me lol.”
It's "the American Mechanized Corps" episode, and it goes the other way around. The Soviet co-op never pushed the Finns on most of the front so they never found out the Finns only actually had troops on Leningrad, the other two fronts were all fake divisions.
I have lost count on how many times Thomas says "its over" his life motto right there - any setbacks - its over. France is his spirit animal swear to god
Yeah, the only small difference is... Well, let's see... Oh yes: no Africa front, no invasion if Italy, no D day wall, no UK and no allied bombing over Europe, huge industry buff from controlling all of the UK, basically every Axis man, weapon, aircraft and tank on Barbarossa with zero fear of any Allied move. Yes, that may have slightly helped the Axis. Slightly.
@@12gark He clearly said IRL 1942 Summer - D-Day would not happen til 2 years later and the Invasion of Italy would not happen until Operation Citadel took off in Summer of 1943. Allied strategic bombing didn't start til late 1943 either. And again, he was talking purely about Axis/Soviet frontlines, hence bringing other things up smells of cope.
This takes the stupid crown off Golden's "you won't even need to do a D-Day" episode without a challenge. 50 divisions on Leningrad just vibing while 17 tanks are dying in the south, like the bar couldn't be dropped lower even if they tried. Edit: this post is meant purely in jest, the Soviet players did what they could with the hand that was dealt to them. Having an entire axis on your doorstep with no chance of a D-Day isn't really a recipe for success
As I recall, nobody wanting to play the soviets (as kat said above) was also the exact situation that Golden was in when he died in that game you mentioned. I feel like if nobody wants to play the soviets, that's an indicator that the germany player should probably be swapped out
Read the title and thought that the Allies were going to have a good game. All the allied majors pulled a fucking *France* while the minors were trying to keep the game going in Asia. This was some tomfuckery.
Ironically france probably had the best game of the allied “majors”, considering he was able to rack up half a mil of casualties on the Germans before capitulation…
This is gonna be one of the last times where we can appreciate the Italian navy scrapping the allies, with the dlc Italian players will pass the entire game just taking away production-research-performance penalties till late game
I love how every time everything goes to shit because of nobody microing in the ussr, everyone says “it’s not my job”. Its as if they actually thought they would be purged by stalin if they took the unilateral decision to move some of the 50 divisions from Leningrad. when they have 1 unit per tile over the whole front
I don’t know what was the bigger throw, the Soviets here losing 17 tanks in one pocket, just for Vidoe to call it fake news before admitting to it, or irl Stalin throwing the entire war against Poland in the 20s after everyone told him to go reinforce the Warsaw attack

I always thought the Beijing push was the returned British Empire deciding it needed more opiu, harbo, tea yes that’s it more tea and going to push into China for it.
Ever tried playing a game where you are actually slowly microing in different civil wars with volunteers in SP before WW2? It can take a day to finish a campaign from start to finish. No wonder they get more unreasonable the longer the game goes on.
Cant really blame the Soviets that much. Homies saw GB and the US navy get killed. There was no way they would win even if the Allies came to their front
This hurt the most to watch that the Soviets had like 5x the amount of units and instead of EASILY encircling the Germans and winning, each person said they aren’t controlling any units and decided to allow groups of 5 Finnish/German divisions take out groups of 30 units
This is the fuckin alt history scenario that needs a mod, the success of sealion but failure in asia and an allied held together russia in a cold war with an europe dominated axis
I love games where 2 opponents are similarly strong but instead of a standstill both are pulling moves and doing desperate defenses and desperate attacks, not just in hoi4 but other games as well
Since the axis will have 4 (or more) players on the soviets (germany, finland, romania, hungary), the soviets need multiple controllers to keep up with the micro
Even at your worst you should be able to survive a year on the soviet worst case scenario just reduce supply as much as possible and build strat 1s to destroy supply depos and railroads, and spam heavy infantry
