I actually tried that and it’s actually decently fun because if you do the focus which gives me cores on China if China capitulates Japan gives all of China to you. (The hardest nation in 1939 is menguko)
That's like every playthrough I see from every UA-camr who does HOI4 lmao. It's always "I'd like to see the allies do something". Then they do nothing until you've depleted the enemy near completely lmao.
@@tglake2894 atleast they invaded Sicily though, you're lucky to have the allies do anything except maybe survive in Greece, like I just played a Soviet game where they only took Africa then did absolutely nothing until I capitulated Germany and Free France was established and only then they sent troops (still got pushed back by vichy though lmao)
My favorite scenario in the game. Man it’s good to know I’m better than a dude who’s been playing this game for years. But damn it’s fun to watch. Almost played out like the real war.
17:57 Yeah this is incredibly fucking frustrating. Like, did Paradox not even test their own DLC content? Denmark declares war on Germany technically (instead of joining the existing war of the Allies or smth) which pulls in Japan, even against the Soviets. It was annoying me in Road to 56 before, when Finland would start the Continuation War and also pull Japan in. But that's a mod. The way Denmark is handled in the official DLC on historical AI is fucking baffling
Alex be like >Not building up an airforce/ CAS stockpile for a timing push >Not changing defensive infantry template to offensive ones (at least for one or two armies) >Not building medium tanks >Not making motorised or mechanised divisions Just one of these things would have won the war in 1944. Funny to see how semi-historical this is though (absent the IRL Soviet investment in overwhelming air and good tanks)
Alex showing off his low skill level by struggling with a base game setting as a 'challenge" after 10 years of playing this game professionally on UA-cam
Imagine time travelling to warn Stalin so his nation don't lose 27 million people in the war. To show him your cellphone with documentaries and his own speeches from the war ...
Germany is stronger on the 39 Scenario due to the fact that it starts with Blitzkrieg land doctrine instead of Mobile Infantry which makes things so different. Nowadays AI designs a lot better tanks as well.
I formally challenged you to play as historical Dutch East Indies using "Hollandia Historica: East Indies Reworked" mod, fend off Japan, and win! Preferably going the "Improve Relations" branch as it's the hard historical one, but you can go "Challenge Elitism" too for a more politicking.
Can you save Japan as Manchuria while gaining your independence?
Good idea!

The apple store doesnt have window
Germany still alive in the Sudetenland after the peace deal, classic HOI4.
"I would like Allies to do SOMETHING to help".
That thought always summed up Soviet experience for me.

@@Gutenburg100 And end up with 90% of the war participation before proceeding to waste it on letting the Netherlands take half of germany
@@isaacskinner5565and change the ideology of everyone without even puppeting them
To be fair that might be pretty solid RP considering how much Stalin rode Churchill and Roosevelt to open a second front

Alex the rabler really knows how to ramble inside of us
yes. The famed rabler
@@ahhno4662skull emoji moment
Gone sexual?
@@gunterhunerbein9510 yea
I liked the part where Alex said "it's rambl'in time" and rambled all over the Germans.
*This was harder than I thought*
10/10 grammar
Yes, this was hard then you thought
Grammarrrrr
Seems like the actual Nazis aren’t the only ones you’ve got to put up with today, Alex
Rock hard

cant wait for alex to do a hard challenge lmao
Alex showing off his low skill level by struggling with a base game setting as a 'challenge" after 10 years of playing this game professionally on UA-cam
He is clearly declining. He became confident in his competence because of his fame, stopped learning things and became terrible at the game
11:40 A very controversial choice of words
I’ve never really done 1939 starts but it seems like a good challenge tbf
Legend says Japan is still invading the USSR in the Far East
Wow imagine showing this to a Russian peasant in 1939, with “sausage rolls” being shouted in the background as Alex rambles.
Imagine time travelling to warn Stalin so his nation don't lose 27 million people in the war. To show him your cellphone with documentaries and his own speeches from the war ...
@marcusappelberg369 Imagine eliminating Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Hirohito, Mao, Ho Chi Mihn and Pol Pot before they start their bullshit.
I love playing the soviets. I don’t do it from the 39 start because I like to have fun
alex just like irl soviet high command demanding the allies to do something to peel units off them
Alex is rocking his Stalin ‘stache
Can we just appreciate how much alex just rambles our bellies full of content?
Hmm that Rambler character espousing world revolution might be in on that Trotskyite plot 🤔
I love the part when Alex said ‘it’s ramblin time!’ and rambled all over them
Facecam Alex always brings a smile to my face
excellent transition
For the Stash, I serve the Rambler Union
Yes!!!!!! 😂😂😂 thanks for "YEAH Boiiiiiiii"

I feel like this was the most accurate Soviet Union lol. Like they were just begging for the Allies to do something haha.
