@@ArturHedlund Meyer is just a German last name. Meyer and its many versions is one of the most common Family last names in Germany. Also Funfact: the original quote doesnt use 'Meyer', it uses 'Meier' instead (still the same name, just a local difference) 2nd Funfact: there is no actual proof of Göring ever using the original quote. But that didnt stop people in Germany during the war making jokes about him using it.
Ah yes, the never ending grind of trying to kill the Netherlands with 90% of the allied troops sitting there and not a single plane in the sky, I’ve been there before
For generations people will talk of this Great Siege of Amsterdam, the two or three year long epic battle that cost the lives of millions in endless hand to hand combat as democracy held on for its final hope in Western Europe.
They didn't even have blades, bayonets, knives nor forks. They just strangled each other. There was book written by a Dutch militiaman who wrote about his horror how he strangled a Nazi boy to death.

5:30 what probably went wrong was that with the massive equipment deficit, the garrisons could not maintain their occupation force and the resistance kept growing with the lack of equipped forces.
@@nikolatanev1140 I definitely do agree on that. However looking towards the Asian continent, the war has gotten definitely harder for Japan. I don’t see them steamrolling China like they use to and they rarely are able to gain control even over British Malaysia. Of course that has to do more with the AI not yet ready for the new supply system rather than combat decisions but still.
i imagine those garrisons in real life is just like ayo ayo wats dis den? *gets shot then pulls out baton now your fu- *pop then just full forced of batons and shields like a roman testudo going against armed mobs with guns
They need to add something to encourage nations to defend their core lands, and something that makes nations pull back troops to defend the mainland if naval invasions succeed. Mostly because no nation is going to give up all its troops to protect an ally when the enemy is walking into your capital.
Reminds me of how Britain will go overseas to fight pointless wars for the benefit of another country but wont stop itself from being demographically replaced in its own biggest cities.
As squire once said -If the plane is bombing you, it's the US Air Force -if its taking pictures of you it's the RAF -if its on fire it's a Russian plane -If its not there at all it's the luftwaffe
Using "mister generic" is actually often a good idea since the Austrians usually promote hin to fiele marshal and give him the adaptive trait, thereby making him a very good marshal for mountainous and diverse terrain. You though gave a field marshal a general traut, what was a bit of a waste.
one big thing that can make a difference when lacking air is to pull some planes out of the sky and train them. The bonus from being regular itself may not do much, but its so much worse when they're stuck in an infinite loop of being green
u are right 100% if u have low amounts of planes and have nor rubber to produce any significant number, dont waste ur few planes... train them to highest level and then send them on mission
I want to see a parody WW2 movie with Alex on Germany's side sitting in the high command. A.H.: Zhe allies landed in France. Alex: Still manageable, mein Führer.
Kinda hurt when I saw him select all those planes to move around and...they had no mission attached to them. Three or four wings of fighters just chilling taking up space it looked like. 21:32 was one example but I saw one later on that I thought had four.
What happened to the mustache, Alex? I mean, you are a handsome man either way...I showed this video to my neighbor, and she said, "Why is Elvis playing ww2 strategy games?".... (To be fair, she has cataracts)
The one thing that sucks about the update is that countries can get supply from essentially nowhere, as long as there is a supply hub. There were ~35 british divisions in the congo, with no ports, yet they somehow were always at full supply.
Tip: don't attack just a single tile. While you were attacking Amsterdam and pushing them off, fresh troops were moving in from tiles right beside it. If you attacked the entire front you can stop them from being able to move in to Amsterdam. You were essentially letting them rotate in as many troops as they wanted from anywhere on the line while your troops slowly bleed organization and faulter in a single mass charge from one direction without air support.
4:40 I don't know everything about this update, but wouldn't it be better to take the easy maintenance access over wet ammo storage? It costs 10 army xp instead of one, but it gives 10% reliability for no additional production cost.
The afsluitdijk was one of the best defended lines in the Netherlands you have 5 forts at the frysian side and onather 5 at the Holland side this with a chocking point is the ideal defensife point
As i said in a Bitt3rsteel video, disaster Germany save and giving Hungary the entirety of Transylvania seems to be a trope at this point. What's with bad players and doing that anyway?
Great job saving this one dude, I wasn't sure you'd be able to with that start. Also, for what it's worth (from a bi dude) I think you look handsome as hell clean-shaven!
One thing that wasn't fixed in man the guns is that the Netherlands can just drain the East Indies by training colonial divisions. It helps them get like 60 divisions in 1939 and its glorious (for them)
The german amour modells still don´t work in the new update, the british for example do. I don´t have the DLC. Does someone know sth. about it or when it will be patched?
I get not doing molotov-Ribbentrop to keep the polish territory but you have to make sure that the Brits can’t naval invade you after you take all that territory

My little brother was just like "Who's that, is he imitating Alex?"
he only knows you with a beard xD
You brother is right, Alex is the beard, this man is just a mouthpiece (a rambler, if you will) for the beard.
0:10 "middle-aged man screams at screen..."
I can understand the feeling. I watched the F1 final today
When Alex was complaining about supply then got rid of the logistics killed me 😂 still love you tho alex
Fresh face Rambler really makes me think that I travelled in time to like 2017
And so Mr. Reagan said to Mr. Rambler, "Tear down this mustache" and so he did.
I want to see a parody WW2 movie with Alex on Germany's side sitting in the high command.

I feel like you took me on a journey there and I appreciated it.
that awkward moment when the UK falls before the Netherlands does x)
Always lovely to see that you are pushing with 10% of your tank divisions actually having tanks
Who needs tanks when you got the Flintstone feet
Fresh faced rambler looking good man, keep up the great work!

Thx
Intelligence Agencies are in a DLC right, so it's possible that they were unable to utilise them
Alternate title: Trying to capitulate the netherlands the entire video
Having watched other HOI4 streamers, you are my favorite. I appreciate the humor and so.ewhat stern parenting.
Oh my giddly goo this was a real humdinger
Alex said:” Hô Hán Dân very Beautyful “
Wow, he didn't even take over Benelux in 1941. That takes deliberate, willful incompetence.
Can't even watch a simple damn UA-cam video without being reminded of the French Defeat at Sedan during the Franco-Prussian war.
12:30 when your enemies break through your defensive line
Astounishing how big of a difference a moustache can make.
12:22 rambler moment
Feel like the USSR that had just been building up the whole game and just canceled non-aggression was gonna steamroll him
Rambler looks pretty good without facial hair. Just as handsome as he does with facial hair imao
Imagine being stuck that long on amsterdam and not swtching a group to marines.
Don't know about you guys but I don't need an air force to win in singleplayer
Other players/AI should not be able to call *your* puppets into wars, it's absurd.
4:40 I don't know everything about this update, but wouldn't it be better to take the easy maintenance access over wet ammo storage? It costs 10 army xp instead of one, but it gives 10% reliability for no additional production cost.
Yeah you'd be right, you can take both simultaneously if you want even more reliability too.

Drink every time Alex comments he has no Air Force

22:16 i laugh so much, that stomach hurts me 🤣🤣🤣
Where is the full stream? Can't find on twitch

Great job saving this one dude, I wasn't sure you'd be able to with that start. Also, for what it's worth (from a bi dude) I think you look handsome as hell clean-shaven!
That laugh at 25:20 fucking sent me over the edge ;D
Its easy to know someone personality when u saw that guy save germany when germany is almost dead a thousand time
The reason for the Ironman mode saying that is because of the color mods the guy had originally
I kind of miss the moustache. You looked like you could've walked out of a Blackadder WW1 episode!
No longer Alex "ya man" Rambler... back to "Ya Boy" - RIP the facial hair.
Lmfao when Alex got the hiccups
look qt alex eye i think he never sleep before 12pm
Can't imagine how many planes Germany must of has
I had that bug with Maginot line supply as well, so frustrating!
at 1:47 i think the reason is because it had a mod at some point
THAT was a tough one!
Great vid!
When London falls before Amsterdam
HE SHAVED THE BEARD OFF.
THE DAWN OF THE GODS IS NEAR
Really need to duplicate the large division before you reduce the original. Save that army xp
It looked like you had a good party at Amsterdam.
Looking good as ever Alex!
14:36
i know i'm not the only one who heard that
he had it back because he gave Transilvania to Hungary , give us his location and we can fix it Iron Guard mode .
I used to play Germany with no airforce but it did not go this wrong
Herman Meier's worst nightmare
Been playing HOI4 since 2018 and I have rage quit more in the few weeks since NSB came out then in the few years that came before.
Uploaded 58 seconds ago, I'm never arrive this early. Not even with my girlfriend.
So casually savage while critiquing the situation lol
What kind of a madman doesn't set his garrisons at high reinforcment priority? Do they want Poland rebelling?
UK likes the Netherlands more than itself
I feel like if you check Ironman it should lock it into Regular difficulty and above.
Can’t lie I’d like to see some disaster saves of other countries other than Germany France uk and Russia
I mean the contents good non the less 😅
Bhutan
RIP epic rambler stash
Next question how are America getting supply to Dutch if your navy in the ocean
Got to research at guns now since they give you better guns for your tanks
One thing that wasn't fixed in man the guns is that the Netherlands can just drain the East Indies by training colonial divisions. It helps them get like 60 divisions in 1939 and its glorious (for them)
I can't be the only person who's never seen that communist china seizes Indochina event before
