    Tried out your fortification strategy yesterday as neutral (tho fascist influenced due to the need for manpower) Finland and it worked like a charm. I was the one who had to declare war since the Soviets wouldn’t come and the Germans had already launched Barbarossa, however when the reds came they were held firmly at the forts between all them lakes in central and south eastern Finland. An hour of gameplay in and I’d inflicted 1 mln casualties on them whilst suffering only 50k. Obviously by that point I had joined the Axis but only as an ally in their war against the Soviets (yay historical accuracy) and eventually with combined forces we were able to push the Soviets first out of all of Finland, then out of the Soviet territory in the east and north, finally taking Leningrad and eventually Moscow itself. Casualties: 275k for me, 3 mln for them (total of 13 mln lost against the axis). So thanks for the inspiration, Alex. It was one of the most epic campaigns I’ve played in a long while.

    @Caldera01 7 років тому

    This is pretty realistic to how it all went down, nice job. Some breakthroughs early on and then counter attacks, mostly just defending. Little bit of conquest later on and then running out of supply and equipment resulting in a bit of a panic to end the war ASAP.

    Good strategy I used in MP game was just using small divisions. Line artillery. Lots of forts. With anti-tank and anti-air support battalions. You end up with almost 1000 defense and the AI just can't throw anything at you to break it that early on.

    The funny thing is if you fortify yourself up enough and/or join a faction, the Soviet Union doesn’t bother you. I made it well past the historical Winter War untouched and I could have stayed completely out of WW2 if I didn’t decide to join Germany on Operation: Barbarossa.
