- A challenge game of HoI4 La Résistance as Finland, now with up to 100% more snipers in the snow!
In this video, I will be attempting to conquer the USSR as Finland, without ever joining a faction.
This Challenge was chosen by Paradox as an upcomming achievement, Finnish Him, and I wanted to see if Finland could realistically do it in the current state of the game!

I wonder what Indonesian conscripts would have thought of the Finnish climate.
Abby Normal they would have thought "man this Cold is *finnishing* me"
They would not stand in the winter war with Red Army irl. I am suprised Suharto is leader of Finnish East Indies.

As a guy from Finland, I would like to show my appreciation to the brave Indonesians who fought the Soviet menace alongside the Finns. We are eternally grateful for your sacrifice.
in ww2 finish joined the axis to attack USSSR. but they took just the territory what USSSR has taken before the ww2 and left the axis, Hitler was so pissed of he wanted to invade finland

Mannerheim was a beast in real life as well. He served as commander-in-chief during the civil war back in 1918, as regent, WWII commander in chief, marshal, and finally president of Finland. A few years ago he was voted, by the finish people, as the greatest Finn of all time. His fight against the Russians for the independence of Finland has given him the name "The Father of Finland".
So yeah, those stats are well deserved.
You forget he was a spy, a cartographer, and and explorer who rode across Asia and met Dalai Lama in Tibet, and who discovered priceless historical sites and was the first to take photograps of not just ruins but of people and their way of life in middle Asia.
He was also a bodyguard of the last Tsar in his coronation, holding the most prestigious place in the front right of the four guards surrounding him.
He volunteered in the russo-japanese war and rode for days or weeks behind enemy lines, sometimes preferring to go with mongol cavalry as the cossacks couldnt keep up.
When the empire fell, he travelled for a week through communist held areas to reach back to Finland... Wearing his generals uniform and surviving on the sheer awe of the peasants who did not dare to attack or even report him.
And he had a long line of mistresses, all of them of noble lineage, lets not forget that either.

I am not sure but it wasn’t Lenin who give independence to Finland?
Finland unilaterally declared independence in the civil war/revolution and Lenin chose not to reconquer it. Instead, aiding the red brigades on the Finnish civil war, banking on the plan that those reds would seek to join the USSR. Did not end up working out
@@mayonasse6397 Nobody gave it to them, they declared independence and the soviets recognized it soon after.

Yup
As a fun and interesting anecdote regarding Finnish-Soviet relationships during cold war when Finland signed so called YYA-treaty (The Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance of 1948, the treayty lasted until 1992), there was once a meeting beetween leaders president Kekkonen and Brezhnev in the seventies and during the dinner Brezhnev said to Kekkonen that as Soviets and Finns were living in peace and harmony with each others and YYA-treaty was working fine, so why would not they take step further and remove that meaningless border between Finland and USSR and join together as a great nation. Kekkonen repleyed; "Comrade Brezhnev, I am too old to run so big state." The matter was not discussed any further. :D

Finland needs it's own focus tree. I would expect it in a future DLC focused on USSR and it's neighbours along with reworked Soviet/Russian tree.
it will come sooner than an italy update
I think that's supposed to be the next update.
Yeah barbarosa is the next dlc and will cover Soviet focus tree (FINALLLY). I expect finland to get it then. I don't think Mongolia will get focus cause it's a hopeless nation so I think all nordic countries and Russia? That would be pog and would almost clear Europe of Generic focuses.

Funnily enough this was one of the first Hoi4 videos I watched ever, and I didn't even play the game at the time. I think the novelty of Finland defeating the Soviets was what got me. Anyway, it's really interesting to rewatch it now that I actually understand what's going on.

Damn! That was a bloody campaign. Especially during the attack on Germany! Then the UK started trolling you. Lol
It was a slog, I admit. In hindsight, I should not have released the Netherlands and used the area as a staging ground for the invasion of Germany
That's alright. AIs can be unpredictable sometimes. I've been binge-watching your campaigns since last Thursday, started out with your Communist China campaign. They were all fantastic!
I hope you can do a campaign where you can unite all ASEAN states as communists and then puppet China and Japan (like a reverse of what Japan did). That would be cool.
You should have annexed Karelia and Murmansk. You're talented at this game btw.

I swear when it comes to bloodthirsty Britain takes the cake. I can’t say how many times Britain did something stupid.
It messes up any game. Any achievement run, as Tommy may said, is always a kill-them-all run.
Well, not necessarily. There's usually a way around fighting at least one faction. Bit not always.
A hepfull tip: when you have these kinds of peace deals, dont just take the provinces with the ports and the ones bordering their claims, you have to really take all coastal provinces and the ones bordering what they took. If not they will try to take "your" stuff. Besides, if u dont puppet and decide to anex everything, eventually germany japan and other majors will start to take provinces inside that territory, or puppet/liberate nations.
I always love watching your videos because I both use these strategies to get achievements on my games and because of your voice that rivals the soothingness of Taureor
So it wasn't only me who thought that he sounded like taureor
It bugs me that people dont like the talk of Fascism or anything to do with it but are perfectly fine with Communism.
I recon that the silent majority can talk about both, but choose not to as they have more productive things to do then go into a pointless debate.
Ooh... and since the opinion of others is so important to you... fascism and communism both suck.
The far left and the far right will just have to make do with meeting in the middle under democracy instead of throwing eachother out of helicopters or into "labor" camps.
@@MerkkledingSchreeuwdArmoede I absolutely agree mate its what im getting at. people know full well the horrors of the right but (for many reasons) give a free pass to the extreme left. Please dont be condescending towards me with the 'Ooh since the opinion of others is so important to you'. Keep it civil bud. Both the extreme left and extreme right are awful beyond measure. Both the gulag and the concentration camp need to be spoken about along with the famines, genocides, secret policing and masses of murder that come along with them. I agree with you 100% on there. no need for the smarm though matey.
Either way have a good one
@@erictheroman5813 I misjudged you, sorry about that. I'm probably the last generation that got taught the horrors of both communism and fascism at school extensively. I was brought up with the iron curtain still in place, but with the wall comming down so did the geopolitical pressure to fear the East. What remained after was the history of the war and suffering that actually did happen to the country I live in and communism got a back seat as it is remebered as a frivilous time instead of a terrible one that not only Stalin, but also Churchill orchestrated.
I still find myself looking in contempt at the east to this day because of the history and molding that happend in my youth. Putin's aspirations to remain a world player doesn't help and neither do the Tu-95's flying overhead.
@@MerkkledingSchreeuwdArmoede Its alright matey, no worries :)
And i imagine living in the iron curtain era was a test of spirit. Little by little we will remember the horrors of Communism.
@@MerkkledingSchreeuwdArmoede Clearly you need to be educated on the subject. Democracy is not the solution or is the middle ground between left and right. In fact the right is NOT fascism, far far right is but the right almost always has to do with a capitalist economy centered nation. At least communism works in theory, while Fascism... not too much. the left is socialism far left communism etc. DO NOT associate communism with he gulag since that was not Marx's intention of communism. Stalin and Soviet leaders didn't govern like communism with the gulag. Fascism is overall bad though and for that it's different than communism. COommunism is a "perfect world" ideology that could work, meanwhile fascism is an extreme right ideology that can only bring war and chaos to the world. I hope you understand what I mean??!
Chances of us getting a 30 minutes of hell 🤔

@@lmao6762 They are cancerous until you exploit the game to get them. Its a very unpopular idea i know but for me the only way to get the achievments without feeling disgusting is by exploiting

Did you know that U.S. threatened to declare war against Finland if Finland were to advance beyond certain railroad in the continuation War? That is why Finland's push against Soviets was stopped. Finland took more land than they previously had before Winter War and they planned using the extra land in the contract for peace so that they would get back the land they lost in the Winter War... That peace treaty was never done since Soviets never surrendered. Pushing back the fins and winning the Winter War...with great losses...
So I wouldn't say the allied forces to declare war on you wasn't that surprising and was totally historically accurate (On the state the world had changed in game - if you know what I mean).
i imagine there's a bit of a grudge against america for that.
Finland kinda has a history of being bullied by basically everyone. I wouldnt be suprised if they had an encyclopedia-sized book of grudges.
@@poiuytrewq11422 mentioning the Book of Grudges is apt considering Tolkien based his work off Finnish mythology.
Thanks for the good content man. Glad to see your channel growing!!
Thanks James!
In my game, the Soviet Union and Germany went weird. Germany couldn't get past Belgium and the Soviets straight up just refused to attack my defenses.
That last happens when you wall up real high, one dude player as Luxemburg and maked lvl 10 fortifications and the germans avoided him until he went out xD
I have a little over 800 hours in hoi4 and i never really bothered with maintanence company. Following this guide i obviously did as you did, and added maintanence company to the division template. I was absolutely shocked seeing my infantry eq go up by the thousands as the soviets were smashing themselves against my forts. Jesus this was fun.
Thanks for making these great guides👍
That was very Perkele of you. I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks from Finland!
That was a Perkele worthy journey, my man!
Bruh
Bro great intro 10/10, i recommend you make more of those when making longer guides in order to get that refreshing comedy before all of the suffering and eye cancer whenever the AI makes peace deals.
Thanks for the guide! Only had to use your defence strategy + indonesia strategy, but anyways thanks to this I got the achievement on first try.
You can hear the soul get sucked out of steel's body with every ally that declared on him
Great video, but I found out that on the current patch, you usually have to allow the Netherlands to remain free so Germany can get around the Maginot effectively.
I love that these videos continuously get better
Thanks! That is the plan,after all!

@@Bitt3rSteel I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Greater Finland and wouldn't have minded a bit more talk about mechanics/details. Well done! Just one question: What do you think would have gone differently if Germany hadn't claimed the pocket of Soviet land in the south?
Overal, I would have kept the Dutch territory myself and used it as a staging area to invade.
I would not involve the Russians
Nice guide! I used it to get the achievement. It gave it to me straight after the peace conference (I led the conference as I had the most war score and did not puppet the Soviet Union).
everybody gangsta till the allies declare war on their allies
Thank you for your sacrifice in making this video
Great work. I did it thanks to you. Lost maybe around 2-300k casualties, but Soviet over 5 millions from me alone XD
So, after pretty much following this guide, and using Barbarossa and the latest patch by 09/19/2022, I ended up at war with the Soviets and I found out some things:
1- If you build up your army like the guide specifies, the Soviets won't actually attack you because between their lines and yours there's a lot of ground that's basically a "no-mans-land" where supply is almost unexistent, both for you and for them, so beware if you counterattack. You can use this to your advantage in Northern Finland, but be aware of going too far and getting divisions encircled.
2- If you feel you have enough good divisions, you can actually make a push towards Petrozavodsk to cut the railway towards Murmansk and at the same time take the supply hub for you.
3- While all this is happening, you'll be better off improving relations with Germany, Italy and Japan (and for that matter, everyone who's willing to give you some stuff) in order to be able to hold the line and counterattack the Soviets when the Germans invade, especially to compensate every truck and train you lose because of Soviet bombing (use armored trains maybe?)
4. Just in case, recruit some garrisons for your ports (10w with artillery and engineers will do just fine), in case the Soviets decide to naval invade Helsinki or any other port. A couple of coastal forts will also be of help to disuade the Soviets from invading you that way. Frontline divisions I used 9-1 (9 infantry-1 artillery) with engineers, maintenance, and support artillery and anti-air.
4- I used three collaboration governments in the USSR (remember to us localized training agencies to avoid your spies getting caught all the time). For some reason, though, I still had to reduce their victory points to 20% in order to cap them. I still got the compliance benefits though, and I was able to flank the Romanians and the Germans for control of most of the territory east of Moscow and Stalingrad.
5- If you have some spare mills, build Transport Planes. It's literally impossible to advance your frontlines without them after taking Leningrad (you can take it pretty much at the start of the war) and without military access from the Germans (I actually don't know if your supply vehicles can use Supply Hubs taken by a "neutral" faction; so be aware of it when you push the Soviets past Velikiye Luki and before you get to Rzhev and Moscow.
6- Despite evertyhing I explained so far, achievement didn't fire for me, so I'm about to backstab the Germans while holding off the Japanese because they declared on the East Indies after I capped the USSR. I even managed to cap the Soviets with the most warscore, even surpassing the Germans and Romanians, but I couldn't capture Moscow even though I took part in the battle to capture the city, so maybe achievement didn't fire because of it. If anyone can help me with what to do next, I'd really appreciate it.
would be good if they helped me in real life to defeat soviet union
They did, especially with attack on Leningrad

This was entertaining. Good job
Damned. Never thought taking Dutch East Indies 😂
And Carl Gustav Mannerheim & Kyösti Kallio didn't seem to think about that either (IRL) 😂
This was the last achievement I needed to get. Thank you for the set up. However on my game Germany never broke through Belgium and was stalled for years so they never invaded the Soviets. I was able to take Leningrad early in the war which helped me induce a lot of casualties early, so when my counter attack started I had an easier time cleaning out Finland. But I did have to beat the Soviets on my own. And did
I think the UK did like with historical focuses Home Defense and did then a alternative focus i think its called Benelux Intervention or just Dutch Intervention
There also focuses in the branch like Scandinavian Intervention etc. that give the UK once requirements are complete a war goal against those following nations once the UK complete the focus. The UK can only do these focus once the following nation(s) has/have over 30% brown party or over 30% red party support which the AI doesn't do normally so I think the AI did a bit of an alternate scenario.
I have waited this so long
FYI: The wiki states that you just have to capitualte the USSR and take Moscow, while also having over 15% war participation. Got the achievement in 1942, thanks!
1-hour long video woot woooooooooot
Can’t wait to see the videos on the new dlc
The infantry soldiers running when sped up! 🤣😂

Guys I think bittersteel made the achievement before the achievement was released... It doesnt trigger that way.(at least in my game) The guide is brilliant but the two and a half hour it took me to destroy the axis were completely wasted. There is a much faster way.
Step 1: Follow the guide and crush the soviets
Step 2: In the peacedeal take only Leningrad and press end.
Step 3: Release Leningrad as free and immediately justify on them
Step 4 : Crush them again
Step 5 : Profit
Save yourself time and the huge amount of cancer I got from this achievement. Thanks Paradox for making me lose my sanity
This is a work of art. Sorry about your sanity though. I'm also sorry to see you abuse the Netherlands and Indonesia this way, but I'll admit it seems the best way to do this without joining a faction. Question: why did you pull the Netherlands in so late into the war? You could have forced another front on the Germans?
All in all, great game! I expect Paradox to make this easier when the achievement comes out, so you already did it on expert mode ;-)
Thank you, I've been waiting this for long a time the achievement introduced. Also can you do the "Our Other Place in the Sun"?

Well that was MISERABLE.
Without access to Amsterdam, moustache man stalled out in Belgium and never set foot in France. Without the Blitzkrieg ever succeeding, Barbarossa never happened. This meant I had to fight and beat the Soviets alone.
In 1948, with 20+ million dead Russians, countless encirclements, millions of captured guns, tanks, and cannons, and many, many hours of my life I'm never getting back, it's over.
It's Finnished.
Thanks as always for the videos!
30:15 dont say that, Mongolia was a power house when Ghenghis Khan ruled
If you wait to do military youth (or the communist one) until after you flip ideologies, you get a very nice boost to party popularity which means higher stability. Well worth waiting for because of the bonuses linked to stability.
there is an amazing GFX mod for 3D models of units for many countries ( including finland ) called M2 Total or M3 Total ( mod was relunched ) and its great if you ever get bored of the same plain boring vanilla models, it also adds plenty of new models for special forces and has variations depending of the weapons year tech, its great you should try it.
7:33 "Correct ideology" ah but of course lol.
Battlecry next :):):) ? please THANK you:D and great job man you are the best :D
I am a little sad the Tordenskjold achievement didn't win, but honestly, I would have been genuinely surprised if it did.
When you flipped to the browns, you said "More stability gone" but you gained 1 stability lol
Perkele! What a beautiful idea.
Okay, Sir.... *Finnish Him!*
Thank you for this great video. Could you, please, show or explain how to do it in the current patch? Right now doing a "Bevrijding" run and just as with "Finnish him", when the Netherlands gets not run over, the current German AI gets stalled in Belgium/Luxembourg which is very bad for "Finnish him". Or should I just wait for next patch?
You could simply steal the DEI and leave the Netherlands as an independent country if you are afraid of the Germans failing
Watching this on a mobile device, and even my Macbook, is quite challenging due to the high resolution you are using Bitt3erSteel. I would recommend using the same resolution as FeedBackGaming or Taureor. The rest is excellent though.
I'm sorry to hear that! I'll see if there's an easy way to set the resolution to something reasonable next time I record
So are you gonna do it again when the achievement actually comes out?
What was the reason for not making the nordic union as Finland and using them? Or does that void the achievement being a totally different faction even if you start as Finland?
I wanted to avoid fighting the allies early game since I was on the clock with the USSR. So I chose to steam the DEI for manpower instead. After the Allies stabbed me in the back, I ate Norway and Denmark, but by that time I was so tired of it all, I couldn't bring myself to fighting Sweden as well...I just wanted it to end :p
i love how he kept on calling Leningrad Stalingrad over and over again.
Question, how do you micro when you have a battle plan set, when I do it the aí just takes over what ever order I tell the unit to do
The taxed tank division. Yay.
Got mutinies in the army event during the Dutch Invasion, tried to push on, and then Red Finland formed mid-war despite not having the line pushed back at all... what can I do different?
Ban Communism if you notice support getting higher. Or anti-communist raids.
Do the most expensive event on mutinies no matter what, you'll get the PP back anyways.
Plus a nice boost to war support and stability if the event gets the good outcome.
While it may not be as efficient, it would be fun if you would more diverse troops, as paratroopers, armored and motorized divisions.
How/where do you find/see that screen that shows how much enemy equipment you've captured? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Also had troubles with it, it's that little notebook icon on the theatres outliner.
My Germany literally couldn't get 1 tile into Belgium and Italy was being Italy, so I had to get on Soviet Union 1v1
Hey bitter steel can you show us the difference between using the ai to automatically make troops attack and manually comanding them?
Finally Pog moment
If you want play as finland i would suggest using finlandia mod (cant remember the name), it gives totally different natoonal focus tree. Or you could get buffed finlad mod, that one ksbpretty OP like finland gets lot of every resources
12:12 the moment that event popped up i also got it lmao
The best way to fight a superpower is a super division on a fort and defensible terrain

Literally Winter War
Mannerheim already made us proud RIP our great leader ❤
i just love watching people from other countrys trying to speak our monster of a language
Russian Empire: W... Who are you?
Greater Finnland: i'm you, but better
If I´m not mistaken, I think the UK has a decision to declare war on the Netherlands if they have 30% fascist support. Now why the AI didn´t do that before or did it right when you call them into the war, I have no idea. But yeah, there´s an event for them to do that.
Did anyone else notice that bittersteel was calling Leningrad Stalingrad for a while, cause I did
When you want to win, hire a finn.
Yeah, talking about taking Stalingrad at the beginning of the war is just too ambitious. Even Leningrad was too hard.
Would it be worth building anti air guns to go with your bunkers?
