  • Finland is strong now, but is it strong enough to resist the Soviet Union alone, without any help?
    Let's see! No conquering others to get stronger and only ski and sleigh units are allowed.

    I was returnig home from school halloween party. It was almost 5 am and I was sitting in the train. I started to watch your video and because of your relaxed voice I fell asleep and passed my station. So I had to walk around some village at 5 am, it was so cold, I had feeling I’m in Finland.
    Thank You, Taureor!

    When you do grand battleplan in the future it's very important that you have all your troops on frontline orders instead of fallback lines, because if you miss out on the extra planning bonus from GBP you essentially only have half a doctrine.

    There’s actually a forgotten weapons video on a Finish Anti-Tank gun where it has both a bipod and skis built onto it, and this was common on a lot of Finnish gun pieces of the time. Meaning that One horse open gun slays is actually the historically accurate version.

    Hey mr taureor, I didnt watch the full video yet, but I have some suggestions to improve your tactics
    First of all, I used this small 6 width divisions with additions of all this focus support battalions, its proven to be more than enough
    Secondly, I defended all of the starting border with exception of northern plain provinces, creating supply hub and forts 2 before the war
    And the key element is to take petrozavodsk supply hub in the beginning of war, making the supply for the soviets pure hell, it is easy to do with additional 10-12 small divs army after soviets offense on that territory, moreover it is very easy to defend after the territory is taken
    After that you just chill and look at the 0 org enemy divs killing themselves in stupid attacks

    Hey Taureor, the maintenance support company boosts equipment capture rate, and can be super useful for countries with a small military industry.

  • @PlvsVltra-ji3rs
    @PlvsVltra-ji3rs Před 6 měsíci +5

    Great gameplay as usual man, the only thing I'd say is use hospitals and maintenance companies are a nice add to Finland. Yes, they do cost more to get off the ground, but between the country's buffs and those two, you become fully self sufficient and less reliant on your own production lines. Now your fall back like tactic was great to watch, so when I do my neutral gameplay, I am gonna copy it.

    You are loosing public support not just because of comunism, but also because your core states are occupied by enemy. If you don't want to loose public support, you have to stop them on the borders and keep support for other factions under 9%.
