That is what this guide is all about and today I am going to be showing you, how to build a strong and powerful Germany in practically no time and also how to conquer the western powers in mid-1937 and later take over the Soviet Union if you choose so. In Hearts of Iron 4 you may try and see for yourself in the article below or view it on my YouTube channel. In particular, how would the Axis victory reflect on the shape of the political borders of the different countries not only in Europe, but in the world in general. You’ll know when it’s time to start your big counterattack when an in-game day has passed and the Soviets haven’t been bothered attacking you.Have you ever thought about what would have happened if instead of the Allies winning the war, the Axis were the ones to proclaim victory?Īt first, it may sound horrifying, as we all have watched movies or at least played computer games (the most famous of them being “Wolfenstein”, in which this exact scenario is portrayed), but it could also be really interesting to know what would the world look like in such a different universe. The Soviets should think they’re stronger than you, so they waste their equipment grinding in the Finnish snow. If the Soviets start pushing deeper and deeper into your territory, then you’re doomed. If the Soviets take away 1 province, it’s not the end. If everything went according to plan, the Soviets should be grinding endlessly on you and they shouldn’t push you back. However, if the Soviets find themselves in a war, you will have to justify the Soviet Union because they do not justify on you if they are at war. Ideally, the Soviets would declare war on you through their focus tree so that you get more war support and the Soviets do not get the great patriotic war. If you can, make a collaboration government (60%-75%) in the Soviet Union so they capitulate faster and you have less resistance in Soviet lands if you continue the game after killing the Soviet Union. Since you have Sweden’s resources, it might be worth your time to build some light tanks or some medium tanks to encircle more Soviet troops and make more breakthroughs in the Soviet lines. You might want to put some higher defenses in Leningrad because Soviet AI gets pretty ferocious down there! Some aircraft are not a bad idea because the Soviets tend to use their tactical bombers as CAS and could bomb your factories and hinder your war machine. To prepare against the horde you should have 72 infantry divisions of 20-width infantry with support artillery, engineers, and anti-aircraft support (you could use 7-2’s but these worked for me and they should work for you.) on the Soviet border and build level 1 forts across the border. The Soviet industry and manpower are several times higher than yours, but it can win against them because you have “Denmark! It just doesn’t exist, it can’t exist!” – iSorrowProductions on Denmark circa January 12, 2019.Īfter your successful conquest unification of the Scandinavian peoples, it is time to prepare against your mortal enemy, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Remember that land border? If a point in that border is weak, you can push through and convince the Swedish AI to draw more troops to the land border instead of the Naval invasion. The Swedish have more troops and guns than you but you have a brain! Keep on encircling the Swedish whenever you get the opportunity and snake around their lines to Sweden’s remaining Victory points that are above 1. The Swedish Navy is better than yours but Sweden just has to put down its navy for one second and your boys are going to Stockholm! Landing in Sweden should be easy, capitulating them without getting encircled is the hard part. You can build some level 1 forts on the Swedish-Finnish border so Sweden doesn’t start aggressively pushing or you could not and see if the Swedish AI is willing to grind on you for 1 province.
The Swedish should be distracted on the land border and have fewer troops in Stockholm.
Start justifying on Sweden as soon as possible and have a naval invasion with your good infantry directly on Stockholm and have your bad infantry and your cavalry guarding the Swedish-Finnish Border.
