    Strategy talk:
    In case you want to attempt this run yourself, here are a couple of additional things that didn't make it into the video. There's a small element of RNG in the strategy. Sometimes Sweden doesn't land-lease, increasing the justification time to 40 days. It's worth trying to go for Denmark first in that situation. If you're lucky, Sweden has set up a land-lease by the time the justification against Denmark is done.
    As always, just go ahead and ask in the comments if there's something unclear. I'll try to respond to everyone who attempts a run.
    Make very sure to stick to the plan meticulously or risk deviations. Especially the pattern of paradrops for France is by no means random.
    It's designed to prevent accidentially encountering a division in Paris.

    Big oopsie in edit! 1:55 justifaction against Yugo accidentally edited out. See the unedited run, if needed (linked in description). Super busy with work and family rn, but didn't want to leave you guys waiting. Hence why the video isn't as polished and reviewed over and over again. Hope you enjoy it nevertheless.

    If anyone wants to get Finnish Him in a more relaxed way, and also create ultra Finland, best thing to do is make collab governments against Soviet before going in. Its slower, but soviets capitulate much easier and you get max compliance on all soviet states, meaning a ton of manpower and factories.

      Thank you! I needed France for the subject templates, but I can't use foreign manpower for the 2w template - not enough XP to make a template for that. I didn't plan to continue the run after the Soviets fell, otherwise it would've been wise to make more puppets instead of annexing.

    how did you manage to get the paradrop off in UK without air superiority? i got stuck at that point and lost to UK :(

    • @m3an
      @m3an  Před 9 měsíci +1

      No air superiority. Same as with France. You rely on the UK not putting their air force up quickly enough. That's why I move the paratroopers to an airport in the north-western air zone, because the UK has planes up in the eastern one. Still, I only ever expect to get one or two drops of into the ports that I then send reinforcements to. Anything more is just a bonus. But there is a chance that it all goes down the drain when those first two ports are guarded AND any further drops are denied. That's rare, but can ruin the southern offensive.

    • @m3an
      @m3an  Před 9 měsíci

      It's all about speed. The southern invasion needs to spread out fast and take as many ports as possible and encircle London. The naval invasion is primarily used to take the VPs in central and northern UK. Do you restart from scratch each time or reload a save? Did you watch the unedited video for more details (linked in description)? It is crucial to not get pinned down when the reinforcements land in the south.
