I honestly didn’t expect Russia to be such a paper tiger. Hopefully, we can flank the Franks from the east after successfully liberating the Italians.

Yeah I'm glad the Franks are putting up a fight against Russia. Them beating each other up gives us a better chance than the outcome I expected: hordes of grizzled but strong Russians walking across France with minimal resistance and into the Pyrenees.

They lost 2 million troops in the Caucasus, so that probably softened them for not-barbarossa. Still a ways off from capitulation though.

So, what do we know about the Japanese uprising? Are they liberals or communists? Also how's Gharbia doing? I guess they haven't joined the war yet but I'm staggered that things went this... well?

It's democratic Japan. They're actually weighted towards a communist revolution, since most of their pops were aligned that way at the end of vicky, but it just wasn't to be in this game.

And a poo poo-ton of stuff just happened in Gharbia, but I'll go over that in the next update.

Huh, so I guess in all that time they spent isolationist, they left their army to rot. I guess that'll learn 'em to sign up for a war out of the blue. I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to get their poo poo together and muscle enough forces to start pushing the French back, but for now things are looking down for the last major bastion of democracy.

It is worrying to see France doing so well, but I can't see opening up a third front in the Balkans working well for them, especially since the Egyptians are starting to be rolled back. So long as Benin doesn't flip (which no longer seems like the end of everything), then after Marrakesh falls (for like the third time?) all those troops get to come back and charge into the heart of France. Italy's almost done, Palermo probably will follow, and maybe if France starts to get stretched thin enough, maybe Ireland could start challenging them up north. They're surrounded on all sides.

Also nice to see poo poo finally going down in the colonies. No idea how powerful the Raj is, or what the colonial war will be like after Marrakesh bites it. I look forward to either Ibriz invading Alaska or the French foolishly sallying forth in a fifth front against Ibriz.

russia's socialist government got couped by liberals aided by reactionary monarchists, who promptly betrayed them and assumed power for themselves, so russia is now actually an absolutist/aristocratic regime

it's one of the funniest themes of hashim-world that even the most reasonable, dove-ish of socialists get constantly hosed over by liberals who are then immediately consumed by the powers they've unleashed

The League of Monarchies have seen much better days. It looks like Morocco is likely going to get capitulated. The Russians are struggling even with their eastern front stabilized by the Japanese civil war. What are the odds of the Mongolians and Manchurians marching their troops across Russia to push back against the fascists?

The Paris Pact is doing alright, and if Benin flips, then they will probably dominate most of Africa. However, I don’t think that the French can sustain their military campaigns with their massive losses. And if they get into a hellwar against the CSE immediately after this current hellwar against Russia, that works to our long term advantage. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but we have a good chance of flying Iberian flags over most of Western Europe.

My main concern at this moment is the possibility of Gharbian intervention.

if they intervene, they do so on the side of the moribound League and their first priority is likely to be to shore up Russia. not an immediate problem for us. we might end up with a war in the atlantic, perpetually on hold

hm, surely the celts are eager for an opportunity to get back on great britain? once the franks start actually buckling we should try to entice them into the war, it'd be really funny

I have a question re: HoI4. If we get the Almoravids to surrender, can we set up a puppet Red Morocco as a buffer between us and Benin in case they turn against us? Also, Free Indochina is lovely, too bad we didn't get Communist Japan

Probably not, since peace summits don't fire until all the majors in a given alliance have capitulated. Unless Hashim writes an event or decision for it.

I could create a puppet socialist Maghrebi state in the Moroccan territory that we control, if that's what the thread wants, or we could retain direct military rule now and balkanize them when the war ends (assuming we win).
