As a French, I agree that even we are under attack by 2 fascist nation and even we have lost half of our country we have enough time to do some strikes, strikes are a national spirit (as well as some revolution too)
Every 100 seconds, a minute passes in France.
@@EpicMiniMeatwad yes
@@EpicMiniMeatwad a strike*
May I ask which nation ? As a Belgian I am not sure to understand who you are talking about
@@monkaraces4328 my country is litterally neighbour to his, and since I was not understanding although speaking french too, I asked explanation
“Imagine going on strike in a situation like this”
I don’t know about you but French history shows they will do literally anything to everything you could possibly think of.
King Louis- Hey guys I know we're in a wheat famine but this potatoe is actually good.
Angry frenchmen start a revolution.
@@8Maduce50 Famine isn't the first cause of Revolution at all..
@@inhocsignovinces1327 it was one of many issues in the eyes of the third estate
@@Supercatzs Actually not really. The famine only touched peasants, who were NOT represented, the Third state were bourgeois. And bourgeois think politic, not people. French Révolution is a bourgeoise revolution before all.
Considering the Paris commune literally formed in the middle of the Franco-Prussian war, it happens
"With the traditional disgusting peace deal" he says before making the cleanest borders I've seen from a HOI4 youtuber
Transylvania, Trieste, and Lithuania look completely and utterly stupid. The Romanian half of Transylvania is made independent of Romania and the Hungarian half is given to Romania.
And player. Yugoslavia usually balkanises afterwards
@@1mol831 are you my father?
fun fact: at around 15:00 you didnt fake your deficit more, you pressed the choose location to deploy button
I was looking for someone how noticed
i was hoping i wasnt going crazy and thats what happened XD

lmao yea
@@Lemmonnysame lol
Well, he had a stable front and seems to have put up a great defensive campaign. It’s definitely a better and more integral front line than I’ve ever had as France. Merry Christmas.
It's fun AF to build up Vichy, when you lose play as Vichy, build up an army and go down your focus tree to regain your country, then declare war on Germany as round 2 it's like vanilla Omsk
@@sirllamaiii9708 I just hate you're restricted to not help the Germans militarily. If I could I'd be soloing Soviet Russia and the UK for germany
@@sirllamaiii9708 Omsk? In what mod? I do love those comeback moments in hoi4 tho, like capping the Germans as the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth after having to go down to 91% surrender progress and holding the dnieper line
@@yeetionaryTNO is a goddamn horror novel presented through Hoi4
"You went with speed...and I see you've used that speed to retreat" has to be one of the greatest lines I've ever heard!
It's very reminiscent of that classic joke about France or Italy, which goes like, "Their tanks have five gears - four in reverse, and one forwards (for if they're attacked from behind)"
These disaster saves have been really great this year, keep them coming and Merry Christmas!
Oh Yeah ! ^^ +1 :-O :-D :-)
Merry Christmas
yeah, I just submitted one, where soviets have massive air advantage, they had like 30000 Fighters in 41
Imagine being a French man in the army and seeing that your country has retreated in style.Merry Christmas!
*With style*
“You went with speed and you used that speed to retreat.” Classic France
Parkour is the art of running away
I love how germany was so c*cked and confused trying to defeat france that norway survived for so long, yugoslavia actually survived, and stalin cackles over how sending a couple of guns and artillery pieces to le baguettes saved him from having to deal with barbarossa in any way, shape or form.
25:55 As a player that mostly plays minor nations (and tortures himself with playing Chile in South America) I pick grand battleplan for the supply bonus that you get in the high command spirits, since that is exclusive to GBP doctrine
It wouldn't have helped in this situation because like he said near the start of the video supply bonus' don't really help that much in western Europe (I agree it would 100 percent help in south America though lol)
Supply bonus is crucial in Chile, given that it's all mountain.
Lol no I torture myself by making the amazon supply better than European supply just cuz I love supply😂
just so you know, extending the maginot actually works tho, you just gotta get the forts to lvl 6 on italy and belgium and you can hold with what meager divs you have
Merry Christmas Bitter, Really love these disaster saves I learned alot from watching your videos. keep up the great work. 🎄🎅

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Bittersteel! I'm appreciating these disaster saves so much. I'm relatively new to the game and it helps a lot (no really, a LOT!) with understanding game mechanics. Great thanks to you and have peaceful (maybe not ingame) hollydays.
33:17 I like how you changed the theatre name from "the slow death of france" to "The Salvation of France"
Merry Christmas everyone! Have an awesome new year and thank for the fantastic content BitterSeel!
Hitler: How is the Invasion of France going?
German General: You mean the defense of Germany?
Hitler: THE WHAT?!
lol
36:26 That is one of the best french accents i've heard, i need an entire video like that
Merry Christmas! I love how Yugo actually managed to retreat to the mountains and defend with Greece after it was deemed impossible lmfao
Damn that was unexpected, merry christmas everyone, stay strong, we're almost through that whole pandemic. Also thanks Bitt3rSteel for the giveaway, it's always nice
what was unexpected
@@skeletonjanitor the whole giveaway thing lmao, hadn't seen that coming
Oh Yeah ! ^^ +1 :-O :-D :-)
When you need more convoys because you're using them all for lend leases so you get a lend lease of convoys: My genius is almost frightening.
Merry Christmas everyone! Seriously, one of the best HOI IV UA-camrs outthere.I love that your videos are focused ona ctual strategy and less on funni memes.
Hey Bitter, I’m relatively new to the channel and I just wanted to say thank you for the great videos like your achievement runs and disaster saves! Happy Holidays to all and hopefully next year is better than this one lol (I already have a copy of NSB so no need to give me another haha)
Merry Christmas everyone that celebrates it and happy holidays to everyone else, its important we stay positive during this hard times
This is my first video of yours, I love the chill music and the entire chemistry you bring, Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays Bitter, and everyone. This year felt like it went by in a second, atleast compared to the last. So let's hope that 2022 is much better than 2021 or 2020.
It won't be.
Oh Yeah ! ^^ +1 :-O :-D :-)

A 1970s classic comedy film open with this statement : "it's June 1940, the minister reassures the whole population that the army is retreating in an orderly fashion... In fact, in all of history, no one had ever seen an army retreat that well... And that fast..."
Even WE are aware that we F*eD up during WW2 so plz, so hitting the hammer on the head ! xDDD
Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the videos this year. I've loved your achievement guides since I first found your channel, and I'm happy to see your channel grow and prosper!
#Potato2024
Merry Christmas! Thanks for all this fantastic videos on HoI4.
Merry Christmas to everyone in this amazing community!!! Thank you BitterSteel for all the great content you have blessed us with this year... From disaster saves to formable nation guides, you have made having lunch on my own much more enjoyable :)
Stumbled upon your channel about half a year ago and loved it ever since. These disaster saves are awesome!
Merry christmas everyone! ^ ^
Merry Christmas guys. And to BitterSteel, I really wanna thank you for your content this year man. Thank you for making this year easier.
24:43 To quote Alex the Rambler in a French save disaster he did where the same thing happened "Imagine your nation was falling and you thought 'I gotta strike. I gotta strike right now'"
27:00
'Everything else seems to be going quite well'
In the top right it says "The slow death of France"
It changes at 33:16 though, so it's all good
it has said that since the start its just the front name lol
i love how passive aggressive bitt3r is at the start as he roasts the player
Thanks for one amazing video again for us to watch. Merry Christmas everyone!
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY, YOU WERE STALIN UNTIL THE ALLIES COULD GET THERE
Keep up the disaster saves BitterSteel, they're awesome as always
Merry Christmas to everyone
Good Video! Taught me a bit me on what i need to learn when it comes to playing hoi4.
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y’all. Thank you to bitter for showing me how to stop losing my achievement runs and thanks to you lot for being so full of support. Wishing you all a bright new year
Hello BitterSteel, I have a strategy for the achievement No More Partitions.
Basically you will go down the Poland's secret Romanov path (refuse every king twice). Then you start to recruit as much divisions as you can and rush the Romanov branch. When the world tension be at 10% you start to justify a war goal on Hungary. Meanwhile you demand Slovakia (don't demand Yugoslavia) make the focus for the Baltics, declare war on Latvia, Estonia and Hungary at the same time. After defeating then demand Yugoslavia's annexation, they usually refuse. If you want you can try to take Bulgaria. If Italy starts to justify, just release Slovenia. Give up Danzig (you can retake it later. Defeat the Soviets (beware of invasions in the black sea) while recruiting troops. Then with around two full army groups, defeat the Axis.
Tips: the best template I found was 9 infantry and 4 artillery; Make the Międzymorze and satellite Moldova.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!
When asking the AI for land to occupy, they will never give up all of the land they hold. They will always hold on to at least one state. If you want them to say yes, get high war score (like you did in the video) and ask for all but one of the states they own.
or use toolbox mod and transfer control to yourself. I don't even consider it cheating because paradox has designed the most disgustingly broken diplomacy and peace deal system.
@@TheKadanz you can also just type 'yesman' into the console and the AI will accept any request you send. Just be sure to type it in again to toggle it off.
The issue is that that's obviously cheating. Anything that is not strictly vanilla or uses the console is considered "cheating" by the game, which means you aren't able to get achievements.
Don't get me wrong, use whatever mods you want to use. Play however you want to play. But for BitterSteel, I imagine he wouldn't want to use any mods or the console.
Paradox really, really needs to remove strikes when in defensive wars. Imagine getting invaded by a hostile power and then demanding "peace and bread" lmao
I know you say it all the time but i always attack with infantry, sometimes with an armored spearhead but not all of the time especially when i have multiple fronts going on.
It works excellently, capitulated the ussr several times with that.
I always use infantry expert too
The extra attack means more soft attack so more damage to divisions both on attack and defense. Not as good defense as the ambusher entrenchment but still great for massed attacks over a massive front with armour leading the way, also good for closing pockets without tying up your armour for faster capitulations of larger or tougher nations
Merry Christmas Bitt3r! Thanks for producing the highest quality HOI4 content you can find around
Merry Christmas everyone and thank you Bitt3rSteel! You helped us all through a very difficult time with this awesome content!😘 Let's hope that next year will be a better 🎉

I've learned so much because of you, thank you! And merry christmas :)
Merry Christmas Bitt3r, Your videos really helped me fight my boredom in this time of pandemic, stay safe and hope more videos to come.

"I need to make my deficit bigger. BIGGER. MORE DEFICIT"
Maybe Bittersteel is covertly the US Secretary of the Treasury
Merry Christmas to everybody hope all of you guys have great holidays ;)
Hi
Happy holidays & merry Christmas +thanks for all the guides and saves!
you are on the brink of collapse and on 99% capitulation progress. Turkey be like: hey bro wanna invest in our country?
Respect the hustle
Merry Christmas! Thanks for all of the awesome guides! You helped me to stop being such a noob!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays; I'm surprised how much hoi has improved in the last year, it's been so long since I've had all the dlc in any pdx game. I'm glad this video was recommended to me, i enjoyed seeing the challenge
Merry Christmas lad, love the content! You will likely be the reason I spend forever on HOI4.
Merry Christmas :) I love these disaster videos. Its helped me learn a lot more about Hoi. Thank you Bitter :)
Merry Christmas! Your videos have really helped me play Hoi4 better, and for that I thank you
You sir have earned a subscriber, love the content and of course enjoy the holidays
It is a disaster save within HoI4, but within history, this "disastrous" France did much better than the irl one - it did not capitulate despite losing a big chunk of the country, it retained some of the navy and a lot of the army and it had a defendable front - even if it was desperate. And the axis losses were pretty big even at the beginning of the save. I like this narrative in which France pulled it together and won in the end. Well played.
Merry Christmas man! I discovered you this year and well, made my life a little better
Merry Christmas Bitter! I'm really enjoying these disaster saves
Merry Christmas everyone! hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! and thanks for the lovely content bitter!
Merry Christmas, Bittersteel and everybody. Only been watching for the last 1month but iam already hooked to your content. Keep up the good work
Merry Christmas Bitt3r, hopefully Santa brings you that 50k Subscriber goal as you deserve it, the in depth videos have really helped my personal development with HOI4
Not to worry, we are still running half a France.
Happy holidays and merry christmas, the war is over by now right?
Love the disaster saves and I think you're the reason for at least half my achievements in HoI.
Merry Christmas,
This year was tough but your Videos kept me up in this hard year
Good job! Merry christmas Bitt3rsteel!
15:48 lmao. Clicking set location 50 times
I have the DLC and don’t care about the gift, but I just found this channel and gotta say I like your style, and wholesomeness. So merry late Christmas and late happy Jew year mate
Happy Holidays! Thanks bitt3rsteal, you are such a good UA-camr and I can’t wait till you get huge!
i respect the effort you go to as far as pronouncing names and places in the different countries you cover, most youtubers don't really bother
Merry christmas! Hope ur having an amazing holidays and congrats for your 47k subs ;)
Merry Christmas BitterSteel!! I’ve been really enjoying your videos and they’re always good to go back to when I just want to relax.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone, I hope you have a great new year. Keep up the good work Bitter your videos are great fun and super helpful (i learned how to properly play the game thanks to you after all)
