How the FUCK do you play this game? I've played Hearts 2 years ago in high school and it didn't feel as absolutely daunting as this one. I'm playing as Spain during the revolution (which just might be a hard campaign) and everything ends up as a stalemate with the fascists until I run out of supplies.
Setting up AI attacks seems goofy and difficult. Is there a better way to organize/run armies? Do I have to babysit certain battalions/armies to sit and wait until they're organized and the pincer enemy positions? Like I said, Hearts 2 seemed really straightforward and I never really had issues defeating like, the fucking Nazi's in Stalingrad or killing Argentina as Brazil.
You have to prioritize breakthrough in specific tiles for strategic purposes.
There are like 2 primary ways to destroy an enemy frontline. Either go around or bust thru. If you aren't fast enough to get around your opponent with trucks and tanks, you need breakthrough and heavy firepower to force your enemy off tiles.
That requires compositions you probably don't have access to at the start. If you have any trucks or light tanks I would send them to your edges and try to overwhelm a flank with the majority of your forces. As the line faces resistance you can keep going wide or find a spot in the line that's weak and manually select units to push those tiles
If I remember correctly the width is really important cause your side can only fit like 80 at the start, so its beneficial to have 4 divisions of 20 width or 5 of 16, something like that
