Crushing the Allies in May 1936 - Hoi4 Germany Speedrun Commentary

  • Hoi4 Germany speedrun guide on how to defeat the Allies as fast as possible in By Blood Alone / v1.12. I'm working on a longer video rn, so this is just a quick fix until it's ready.
    This Hearts of Iron 4 campaign was played with all DLCs, on Ironman and historical. Technically there's a faster way by waiting for the UKs guarantee on Yugo before declaring, but you'd have to secure a port in Britain and defeat France with a single naval invasion wave of 10 divisions. Doable, but requires a lot of luck and grinding.
    Why is Mr Mustache censored? - This is the German version of Hoi4 and it comes like that. And as you know I play without mods.

    For those who want to attempt this: You need to have the grindset! Please know that I mean it when I say that there's lots of RNG involved. It's probably the most luck-based run I've done so far. Yugostrat can fail, landing in France can fail, invasion against UK can be blocked. And reloading does NOT yield different outcomes, sometimes even makes it worse! If one of the steps goes wrong, you need to start from the beginning again. I'm more than happy to help with questions, but do not assume that this will work on your first attempt.
    Some tips:
    Scout ahead with submarines to see which ports are garrisoned. The divisions don't shuffle around that much and you can always change the targeted provinced with the 'edit order' button before launching the invasion. Just be careful to not accidentally delete the invasion order right before the war and losing all planning progress. (Thank you, Mariusz Wojcik!)
    You can make it easier on yourself by targeting French ports specifically and have reinforcements ready in the Channel. You can achieve that by asking Italy for Mil Access and sending divisions to one of their ports. Time it so that they are in the Channel when your invasions make landfall. You than just have to reroute them to the captured port. And, just in case, saving and reloading does not change the outcome. The French divisions only have different positions if you restart from scratch.
    You can circumvent RNG by aiming the first invasion against the UK and dealing with France in a different way, for example paras to take a French port after the UK has fallen. In order for that to work you need to wait a couple of hours after getting the war goal on Yugo to let the UK guarantee them.

      to anyone who is trying this in elite difficulty: it's possible, but it will be slightly slower due to the reduced political power gain and production efficiency cap (i have tried this strat in elite, it works but like m3an mentions it is quite rng heavy)

    In order to pump up faster the number of the army in the field or numeber of the spam spam units you can convert infantry into panzer first and then back to the infrantry as panzer uses less inftantry equipment than cavalary. The draw back is bigger lost on experience. The spam deployed early can be as well converted immidietly into panzer and then back to the infantry. by doing so you can send more units to Ethopia and increase a bit word tension faster.

      Took me plenty of attempts to succeed, but a concentration of forces always works better. You can spread the invasion across multiple provinces, but then you only have few divisions to push towards VPs. You can make it easier on yourself by targeting ports specifically and have reinforcements ready in the Channel. You can achieve that by asking Italy for Mil Access and sending divisions to one of their ports. Time it so that they are in the Channel when your invasions make landfall. You than just have to reroute them to the captured port. And, just in case, saving and reloading does not change the outcome.

      For the second invasion? Like I said, there's plenty of luck involved and you need to start from scratch, not reload, in order to reroll your odds. You can circumvent RNG by aiming the first invasion against the UK and dealing with France in a different way, for example paras to take a French port after the UK has fallen. In order for that to work you need to wait a couple of hours after getting the war goal on Yugo to let the UK guarantee them.
