I'm a little surprised you guys didn't do the Victoria run, it's sort of the go-to gimmick run for Germany.

Scalding Coffee posted:Is this the kind of game where objectives are more important than flat out destroying enemy forces? Taking objectives gets the enemy to capitulate, but encircling and destroying their army makes it a lot easier to get to them. Paradox DLCs always get review bombed.

What encircling really does is prevent replacements and reinforcements from reaching divisions. Losses of men and equipment are constant and unavoidable; if a division can't reinforce it will quickly become ineffective.

Arbite posted:True, and for whatever reason leaving a unit alone to rot when encircled can lower its org faster than attacking it. That's Attrition, which is a specific thing that happens in HoI4 that reduces Org and destroys Equipment (infantry weapons, supp equipment, tanks, trucks, artillery, etc) reducing Strength and with it a division's combat stats (and if they run out of tanks and motorized, their speed.) One source of Attrition is running out of supply, another is difficult terrain and bad weather. You can counter Attrition with high Reliability values on your equipment or with some support/doctrine choices, but it's difficult to get rid of it completely. The short version is: keep reliability high, keep production up, keep units in supply, keep out of lovely terrain.

The most important thing is running the collaboration operation a couple times before you attack a major, which gives ~30% compliance for each completion.

I'm surprised you're putting maintenance companies in your infantry divisions, there's not that much IC worth of equipment to lose in them even with full support. Armored divisions definitely need them, though. Speaking of, it might be time for some spearhead orders. You should be able to encircle that entire eastern front if you use two armies.
