Tip for next time you play UK: you should request expeditionary forces from the dominions, together they have over 70 divisions that you can use for the less important theatres of war (Africa, Alps, garrisoning Corsica)
its useful to do this even if you aren't going to garrison, a lot of push problems stem from lack of supply. being in control of the divisions let you send them away so your real army can have supply.
It's frustrating that the AI still can't build supply hubs and naval bases so Japan cannot finish off China. I'm pretty sure it does at least connect railways but there's so little supply in western China that if Japan isn't a player it's not going to be able to work around it without fixing it.
the game has gone through alot of development, years even, and over time the devs have changed how they feel about the focus trees. the closer to the present you had a DLC for that nation the more intricate the focus tree will be. I cant remember when the last uk rework happened, they seem to get minor reworks with each dlc.
@@edwxx20001the last major expansion to the UK’s focus tree was man the guns (it added decolonisation, the ideology changing branches and putting Churchill into power early-ends appeasement, ends pacifism, starts mobilisation for war and allows war goals against countries with oil, major European nations who caused world tension and allows justifying war goals against democracies)
Look on the bright side, you've completed 2 of 19 Central, Caribbean, and South American nations, and won't be back there for a while, and your next game will be Turkey, followed by Tibet and then Tana Tuva.
Holding france is quite easy actually Put a full army on the belgian border with fallback line and half an army or a full army on the alps if you aren't feeling comfortable go with grand battle plane and static warfare
A funny way to play the UK democratic is to prepare naval invasions (from north africa) for Italy and launch them as soon as they join the war, if you capitulate Italy fast enough Germany won't even declare war on the Benelux
I know this video is a tad old but if you really want the classic Hoi4 experience you should roll back to a previous version through Steam and see if you can still beat the game DLC- and patchless :D

Issue with no dlcs is that all dominions are independent

@@spiritorange8325I still stand by the fact I should be able to attempt to conscript the whole of India and risk them declaring independence

Excellent video Alex so glad to see you grind it out to the finish my friend
You and me both!
Me too;D

It's kind of odd that some base trees (USA, Japan, France) get alt-history paths, and then the UK gets shafted

@@edwxx20001 Japan was Waking the Tiger and has an alt history included in the base game. UK was Man the Guns, and does not.
@@flickerdartJapan alt history path is like 4 focuses.
6:41 I see UK vanilla focus tree bug, that was reported 6 months ago is still not fixed.
It hurts to see him avoiding the extra research slot as a multiplayer player
All around it's painful

give me your steam I'll gift you some dlcs
@@nasseribnamr9043I hope he responds, the man deserves to hoi in the modern way
Man I started off with base game and slowly added all the dlcs it's so wild to see base game again
Same
This brings me back
It is always interesting see paradox games without DLC and how it changes the game
Look on the bright side, you've completed 2 of 19 Central, Caribbean, and South American nations, and won't be back there for a while, and your next game will be Turkey, followed by Tibet and then Tana Tuva.
Still baffles me that they got the Canadian flag wrong in the base game...
I wish Alex got more views he deserves it he is the best hoi4 youtuber
Thank you!
gotta drink my tea for this one

I've never played a single DLC and it's heavy
one strange thing without dlcs is that hungary rarely joins germany
yeah it's really weird because Romania have an event to turn fascist but Hungary doesn't, so they don't join the Axis
You should try canada in kaiserredux its very fun
Now you know how we feel
Are you going to go with just a jump to the left And then a step to the right?
its just a push to the left...then a push to rightttttt....put your field marshall on your hips, and bring your armour in tight
I just hit 1000+ hours on HOI4 and like 90% of it is just UK. Including mods but still...
Which dlc adds that you can annex puppets
Le Resistance
Together for Victory

Man if I wanted HOI4 without of any DLCs, I would just play it myself cuz I ain’t got no money xD

For some reason hungary never joined the war thus they only gained territory and lost nothing.
