  • Today on Saving Your Disaster Hearts of Iron 4 games we have a Greece disaster that had no army after it was all encircled by Turkey. With Italy about to come in from the flank can we save this impossible HOI4 save?

      If your really craving for something different but still Grand Strategy, have u thought about Stellaris? I play the console edition and it's pretty similar in vibe to games like HoI, TW, or Civ
      (I would say it's like a Hearts of Iron LITE, but u conquering the galaxy instead of the world.)

    I had a Greek Ironman save recently, initially went all infantry and artillery / anti-tank, the Greek soldiers were crazy strong. Eventually tallied up my casualties vs enemy after a decade of war, 1 million Greeks lost, to 20 million combined enemy casualties. Hellas was hella strong, it was one of my favourite saves ever.

      @@haksrax39 nothing special I'm afraid! Most of the game it was 9 infantry, 1 line artillery and 1 line AT, engineers, field hospital and motorised recon for support. The Greek 'anti-country strategems' are really handy though, 90 days of an extra 5% attack and 15% defence came in useful for a planned push.

    Hey Alex. How about you tell your subscribers, who sent you their disasters, to write in their email, if they want to complete the rest of the savegame, when you have saved it or if they want you to completely end it. Because I don't know if everyone, who sends you their disastersave, wants to end their game. But I could be wrong.

      ​@@gustavgustav2670 I mean you could just imagine that when you disband, the majority of the army routes and only 20% of the men gets back home by dropping their equipment and perhaps steal civilian clothing. But I agree it still feels kind of cheap, and that explanation doesn't always quite work as well, especially if the units are not very close to your borders anyways.
      Apart from losing all equipment you also lose all the experience the men have cumulated over time, so it's not like it's a complete free win even though it seems cheesy as hell

    6:04 thats how the ai cheats, they ignore manpower and supply for recruitment, only take it for resupply, I often play as some south american nation, pick the smaller ones with less industry and manpower than mine first and all of a sudden they got the same number of units as germany...
    as columbia reuniting bolivia I had to fight peru, build up my industry like crazy and then had a 5 years of war only moving one or two provinces forth and back until I build enough bunkers to wear them down enough to move forward and repeat the process.. I even got supply from 10 other countries including germany, wich was the only thing keeping my troops alive, despite my industry beeing 4~5 times as large as perus and me having no supply chain issues, a good navy and a supperior airforce with hundreds of cas... in the end i got them with sea invasions distracted enough to let the front weakend enough to push and thats how i got them, when the sea invasions were over they death stacked and I took them out with tanks and constant forced attacks
