    In the end, German navy degraded down to only 1 of its Carriers, and 1 Battleship. UK had 2 Carriers and 1 Battleship, USA 4 Carriers and 4 Battleships. Also correction for the subtitles, it wasn't "Curland" but "Courland"! Thanks for watching!

    It’s times like this I wish the game had a better diplomatic system to resolve futile conflicts, as there really would be no way for the Allies to take Europe back after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
    Eventually the Axis’s would’ve gotten nukes too, and it would literally be Armageddon.

    I miss the times of HOI 2 and 3. Now it's just a walk in a park. To many exploits. Not really a challenge...
