like i saw something about the steam version yesterday and thought "hey yeah i am really down to play that whenever that launches" and it has now turned into "i could handle the ASCII graphics i am big boy, played rogue stuff i am ready let's go 2021" anyway this feels like some really dark omens for me this year
For the record I'm not that good at hoi but I can defeat germany as SU in vanilla, here's some tips that may help you: use PP to get toward war economy asap, spam civ factories for the first couple of years and get some free factory and infrastructure focuses, after 38 start building more mil and less civ factories each year, and take the military expansion focuses, then you can start making some sweet 40 width tanks(medium or heavy) and when you go to war use your tanks to cut off from supplies as many enemy units as possible (you can check enemy supply in the supply mapmode)
Yeah I did a new play as the US and went communist so I could fight an easy war and then concentrate on Naval.
I'm getting better but it's so hard to learn everything.
I can't seem to build more than a handful of 40 width heavy divisions.
You only need a few, 4 is ideal for early game, put them in their own army and concentrate them all in an enemy weak point, spearhead order is your friend, when you break through the first defences the AI will struggle to fill in the gaps without causing new weak points you can exploit elsewhere, keep moving with the heavy divisions to complete the encirclement you want while infantry or motorized just defend the new salient
Having integrated supply companies also helps field more tanks later
