  • Today in France the Little Entente shall be strengthed and brought up to standard, France will take the lead in taking action against Germany and will form a continent wide coalition to ensure when the time comes, German aggression will be dealt with swiftly.
    Along the way we will be going for the achievement Big Entente, This will result in us going to war with Germany. However they will be in for a shock as the French military will be up to a standard they could've never expected.

    It's weird just how long it's taken me to do to this one, Big Entente has been around for years and isn't the hardest of achievements to complete, so it's good to do and satisfying to have done. France is a funny nation to play, since they're weakest starting major, so every run you have to make them strong yourself, and it always feels good to pull of a nice run with them.

    Here's an Idea:
    "What's the Point of the Stresa Front as Democratic France?"
    The 1st time I did this was definitely an interesting game because everything folded as intended. Italy and Britain joined the Front and the Anschullus was refused. I can't wait until Italy can get to do this in their new focus tree.

    You should really click shift when putting a field marshal frontline, it assigns all divisions in one frontline instead of dividing it per each general. Some people showed it worked better because of the way it shuffles troops around. It's also a lot cleaner.

    Just did this one, and then the survive to 1948 one on the same run. Ussr declared halfway through the war bc poland never died, but a little entente france that does air and arty (with a small amount of motorized/light tanks) can fuck up a 1940 ussr. Then i sat on my ass til 44 when the allies (at this point including a puppeted japan and america) declared war on one of my guaruntees, where I spent the next four years making god tanks for fun and making all my 100+ inf templates 30-width space marines doing 9-3’s with one heavy tank spg batt with such cracked stats that it alone brought the entire divisions armor up to 100. Yeah, they cost like 40 ic each, but that doesn’t matter when you have all of Europe as an industrial base, with France’s insane resource deposits to boot. Add onto that a bunch of god cas and three stolen navies, and you get four years of slowly grinding down the allies out of africa while doing a wierd atlantic island hopping campaign after capping uk to ensure no naval invasions. Like, is it as bad as the pacific, or even just the indian ocean? God no, it’s a vacation comparatively, but it’s still one more plate to spin when the omnipresent ai is going for every inch of space you don’t immediately defend

  • @stormsand9

    Little entent France is always fun! I beat Germany and Italy my own way- i went through the westwall and into their cores with a focus on 9/1's and a healthy amount of Cas. Blew right through their forts, and my production was good since i focused on getting rid of the factory debuffs first, THEN forming the little entente.

    This achievement is truly random in terms of difficulty. In my successful run, both Italy and Hungary didn’t join the Axis, Germany made no headway on any front and even lost territory to Czechoslovakia, and when I finally pushed out from the Maginot Germany’s civil war event fired.

    France is my favourite 1936 Major since if you focus down the right things on your Focus Tree you're basically untouchable regardless of being on Historical AI or not. Even the US or USSR can sometimes get screwed by Japan or Britain going the wrong kind of ahistorical too fast.

  • @rps215
    @rps215 Před 2 lety +2

    I used the Spanish Civil War exploit for this. Got the first 10% of war support by sending attache to China for that. Don't forget to improve relations with Italy as well. This serves 2 purposes: get free lend lease weapons from Italy and weakening Italy in the mean time, don't forget asking for trucks and light tanks. Also I always release Tunisia and Algeria as it makes the Italian AI more stupid and you can annex Algeria via focus later plus I do not want to put troops in North Africa.

  • @sds7995

    it is now impossible with the new peace deals since someone will always change government of germany and it will be democratic but independent, and it is unavoidable because you can't have enough points to annex all of germany or puppet it all. unless there are ways to capitulate the axis with France and the Czechs alone it is impossible

    Hey Bubbles - loving the videos. Very informative. Hows this for a video idea - playing as Latvia you can flip to fascist to get through the first few focuses in the fascist branch (Thunder Roars Alone) but then immediately flip to democratic (Renew Kviesis' Term - or just sneak in Lightning Strikes beforehand to unify the baltics). Focuses like Diev's Keepers and State Paganism only requires you have the national spirit Dievturība, NOT fascists in power. So you can be democratic with all the Dievturība buffs to fight the Soviets.
    Its not particularly powerful or anything, its just an interesting "loophole" in the focus tree.
    Or, you know, whats the point of the legit Yugo fascist path? The civil war between Paul and Michael is pretty savage.

    Doesn't Austria count as German cores? The achievement didn't fire for me when I had a German supervised state controlling everything except Austria... I did do it in the new patch and demilitarised the Rhineland at the same time for a seperate achievement so maybe that made it not count as owning the state?
