      Play a historical game off HoI4 with the Netherlands and capitulate the Axis by June 11th 1940 (that is my record and how I got the achievement 'Treading the Narrow Path').
      Edit: I did that on regular difficulty.

    So, I decided to try an Elite game with the motorized rush strat for grabbing up land early. I’m in 1949 and trying to knock out the US, but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Lacking research speed and production was rough but because Germany steals a lot of industry, it’s a bit easier.
