Are the funky wars of the new beta patch lame? I am thinking about starting a new one but will hold off and play some bad Steam summer sale games in the meantime if it is as bad as I hear. Like, is that Soviet China pic from the Beta patch.

Dear AI, I am not very impressed that I have to finish off Axis and Italy by taking Sicily when I am allied Australia, and you have like 200 divisions sitting around on Italy doing nothing, as well as solid naval supremacy in the med.

I really appreciate everyone's help with finding world leaders and this is kind of the fruition of that work. Any countries/ideologies you don't have base portraits for yet? I've got nothing to do until August and trawling the depths of the Internet for photos of obscure politicians could help use up a few days of sitting on rear end.

What's the best way to deal with submarine fleets? I'm playing as Italy, and I read here that doing well is contingent upon being able to lock down the Med. With that in mind, I pulled my fleets back into the Med, combined them all, then split it in half. I sent one fleet to guard the Straits of Gibraltar and another to camp the Suez Canal. At one point I got pulled into war with France and later the UK. My fleets spent the whole time engaging this one French submarine fleet over and over, never killing any of them (but never losing any ships, either). While they were faffing about, the UK sailed in and conducted a naval invasion of the Italian peninsula with absolutely zero naval support. My fleets didn't do anything because they were fighting that same stupid sub fleet, and somehow the hundreds of naval bombers I had doing missions in the area didn't notice it. Naval combat is very opaque to me. Despite watching ships move towards and away from a dashed line more times than I can count, I still have no clear idea of how it works. I'm guessing there's some benefit to having smaller fleets rather than cramming all your ships together into massive wrecking balls. If that's the case, what's the ideal fleet composition?

Huh. The way the ai divvies up casualties between wars is wonky. I was doing a Tuva game, and after me and my best bud Germany killed those soviet fuckers. (Clearly I was the deciding factor) I started a war solely against Mongolia. Germany somehow took half a million losses and between that and the bombing that I'm pretty sure also didn't exist and somehow got a higher warscore and stole my burgeoning Tuvan empire out from under me.

Yeah you beat me too it. Victoria and Vancouver were very important back then, Victoria had the main pacific fleet base and Vancouver was canada's main pacific port. Toronto was still 2nd fiddle to Montreal up until the 70's or so.

 I'm playing as Mongolia and noticed that Germany suddenly evacuated their troops from their eastern border while at war with the Comintern. Turns out they stuffed the majority of their divisions in Korea.

Volunteer divisions seem pretty broken. In my Italy game there are a ton of Japanese Divisions fighting in France/Belgium for me and Germany in 1939. I had 11 divisions in Africa all ready for the desert war and it looks like the U.K have pulled out entirely?

verbal enema posted:gently caress the usa this poo poo is boring as hell i want to conquer. You do regain manpower, but not really at a level that's sustainable for training/reinforcing your forces. You can hover over the manpower figure to see its replenishment every month. When you have enough political power you should change your manpower laws - they'll instantly grow your pool of conscriptable men. Fascists can change their manpower laws to be quite extensive even before being in a war, albeit at the cost of some industrial power. For countries with a low manpower base, it might be useful to use the Mass Assault land doctrine, the technologies there will give you more manpower.

I just conquered France (well, it was Netherlands, Belguim, then France because they're interventionist jerks) as Fascist Britain, using only 16 starting divisions plus four extra cavalry+heavy tank brigades that I deployed at 20% training well after I had taken Paris. France folds like a house of cards if you don't invade by the Maginot Line. Now I can justify as much as I want without triggering WW2 because democracy on this planet now consists of the still-isolationist USA. Overall a very successful Benelux Intervention. e: The Spanish Civil War is still going holy lol. France folded that fast.

My Revolutionary Argentina game is going pretty solid. It's more interesting than the HoI3 South American conquest was, which is a good sign. The South American and Central American countries seem more willing to join factions (Peru and a couple other nations joined Italy's faction, which was interesting since that faction was also at war with the Allies), and I was able to time my Brazil conquest to go off just a little bit before the US (which I had flipped to Communist with a coup) grabbed the national focus that caused a Brazilian civil war. I've conquered the Panama Canal, and am now fortifying and consolidating it while I pick off the remaining easy Central American countries, build up my navy (which is running afoul of the Allied navies a lot less often now that I have CAS patrolling the seas), and figure out the best way to transitioning my towed artillery to rocket artillery.

Early France has crazy low national unity, and at least in some early wars they can get a civil war which fucks them further.

Is there a basic rule of thumb for calculating how many production lines you need to keep a certain number of standard divisions supplied through sustained fighting? Playing as America, I keep thinking I've got enough industry going to join the war, only to find my troops running out of bullets after a month or two, usually when they're just in the process of capturing Berlin.

Goons have been leaving links to portraits in the "leader 0 picture" column. A "D" in that column means I've got them done. I'm looking for photos of decent quality, in color, are relatively large so I can shrink down and mask, have space around the face that includes their shoulders/top of chest, and were taken around 1993. Really appreciate any help. It means a ton. Let me know if you put some stuff in the sheet and I'll put you in the credits.
