>>181102723
The things I find important are speed, terrain, and starting deployment. I use the historical Barbarossa plan, which means deploying my tanks in 4 concentrated areas and then infantry in the gaps. You'll end up pocketing units in Ruthenia, the Pripet marsh, and Minsk and then from there you just use infantry to mop them up. At that point the AI will be down a ton of troops and you run head on to VPs (usual order is Leningrad, Moscow, and then Stalingrad). I like to focus tanks in the south due to the terrain and then have 3-4 air transport groups resupply from Kiew/Rostov.

Oh I see, I thought it was a flag for Greece or Crete or something, so didn't understand.

That said, EUIV just doesn't model how the Ottomans fall behind anymore accurately, which is nonsensical, especially as the state was destined for moribundity from the moment after Vienna.

In any case, it's a disgusting world, but one ripe for oppurtunities. There is no way I see the Ottomans managing direct rule over that much of Germany and central Europe. Puppet states all over, maybe.

Maybe take some cues from Divergances? There, Germany is also a land of chaos, split between various other rulers who want to fold them into their rule. Especially have maybe Scandinavia trying to bring the Germans into their political system. Also have Poland trying their hand at uniting Germany, or at least South Germans or something.

Germans should also have their chance at their own rising, who knows? Free from all foreign influences.

I'd call that puppet state maybe something like "The German Vilayet" or something? Especially since I don't see Ottos setting up a republic unless they also are one, which may be the case.

In Divergances, while there are tensions, Burgundy is basically half Dutch. Burgundians have been apart from French people long enough they're considered their own separate people. It's arrangement that works out for both of them.

One of the forms of South Africa, Batavia, can though claim the Netherlands and try to return home by war. But for the most part, the Burgundian nation is quite tolerant - Dutch is tolerated at start (translating usually as fully accepted members of society, by both the primary population and by the secondary population). And with Burgundy trying to expand into the Rhenish lands (the identity of German is more varied in DVG, with Elbian, Danubian, and Rhenish, and if discussion on the forums pans out, maybe another type of German based on the East), the state is even more muddled. It's a conscious decision to try to move closer to what they see as their Rhenish, Protestant cousins, long oppressed under the boot of Bohemia and the Emperor.

One has to bear in mind religion has a much longer lasting impact in the DVG world than it did OTL - the initial dividing line between French and Burgundians was the Burgundians militantly embraced Zwingli and what was fused into what became Protestantism (which is different from OTLs). So nationalism also works a bit differently too. It's not that nationalism doesn't exist, but it cleavages differently than OTL.

We have an ever increasing advantage as all four of our armored spearheads make quick work of any Soviet forces that stand in their way. Fighting is fierce, the Soviets frequently counterattacks to try and cut off the Panzers, but they are always stopped by following infantry units moving behind mobile troops. The situation is becoming increasingly precarious for Soviet forces in western Ukraine, as von Manstein's 1st Army pushes towards Kiev. On June 3rd, Fallschimjagers dropped on Zhytomyr, just 30km away from the city centre and the Dnieper. With Paulus's 6th Army driving towards Kiev and then south, a total collapse in Ruthenia and Ukraine is increasingly likely.

Someone is supporting Crimea
>>
>>181116898
No, I checked, that's the problem (but they are rebellious for so long that someone will support them eventually, turning them into a perpetual threat).
It just looks like there are only "bad" modifiers in the liberty desire screen (development, is a horde, army size). I managed to have +190 relations with them but despite this fact they still had 71% liberty desire. When I took my second vassal, Georgia (with their 2 units army) it became impossible to keep Crimea in check, despite the fact that their total combined armies was only 1/3 of mine. Also, like I said, it's a small Crimea, I took quite a few of their provinces (including Crimea) so their dev is not that high. I get that they will be unhappy for a while but more than fifty years? Did Paradox change something with the liberty desire since patch 1.15.3? I'm fairly certain vassals weren't that rebellious (I have a positive dip reputation, I'm ahead in diplomatic technology, the legitimacy of my king is high, I have around 60 prestige...).
Anyways, my biggest problem is the economy. Without the Estates I'm kinda torn between 100% autonomy in the conquered lands or having to deal with rebel army too big to be honest.

>>181118080
I did. I spent all my prestige to placate their ruler in get them under 50% (41%). Then I started to annex them because fuck it.
One year later, while I was in a minor war, a rebel army got in my way. I won the fight handily but lost some men, nothing spectacular my manpower pool was full. Crimea immediately became rebellious again, Georgia (a 3 provinces, 2 units army march) joined them and finally Muscovy decided to support the independance of one of them, getting them both at 100% liberty desire.
I used to play with vassals quite a lot, did some risky Najd speed runs with vassals and I don't recall vassals ever being that much of a pain in the ass.

I just can't fathom how people can play HOI IV. I preordered it (plz no bully) and one year after its release I can honestly say that it's a bad broken game. Where is the fun?
Also, can someone help me to understand how to deal with autonomy/conquests in EU IV if I don't own the Cossacks DLC and play a small nation? Most of the rebels are just too strong to be fought and if I raise autonomy I will end up with a huge useless territory with 100% autonomy everywhere. Not rising the autonomy and relying on harsh treatment is just too costly in mana on the long run.

Hoy3 still randomly crashes, AI goes nuts the moment you do something ahistorical, no way to fix border gore since war goal system doesnt exist etc

you can mostly have a solid game on hoy4. AI is not perfect, but its possibly one of the best AI's paradox created as of 1.4.1 beta

The fact that your units redeploy through the sea, where they get sunk by the ennemy navy kinda brokes the game. This can ruins a multiplayer or a solo game.
The dev are aware of this problem but have admitted that they don't know how to fix it. Also, they refuse to introduce a box "don't redeploy through the sea" (for the player only) because they are afraid this would confuse new players and "frustrate" them.
I just tried a 1.4.1 game and, again, Rome fell to the Allies in the first 6 months of the war and Germany in 1941, after allowing the Allies to land and invade northern Germany. Germany somehow reacted by declaring war on Yougoslavia and Norway.

There was an old tripfag named Crossby back when the /gsg/ generals were on /v/. He bragged about pirating his stuff and posted an image of his pirated library without deleting the EXIF data in the image so Paradox grabbed his coordinates, came to his house and smashed both of his hands with hammers.

Excuse me guys but have any of you been posting on the /r/paradoxplaza subreddit? We've been noticing quite a bit of negativity over there against the Paradox team and we're doing what we can now to try and quell the trolling shitstorm that's going on.

If you are not a paying fan of paradox and you have been posting on the subreddit all we ask is that you refrain from doing so in the future. Thank you very much. I was going to send Meneth to deliver this message as I know he is on good terms with you guys but I thought I'd brave it and post here myself. Thanks guys for cooperating.

Just a reminder that the guy is cheating and if you look closer, you'll notice that his supplies and oil are gone. This means that he wouldn't be able to win a single battle due to his nonexistent organization in his troops, yet he slaughters the entire soviet army with zero effort. He most likely edited a 1950 tech to give his troops massive damage and researched that tech for himself through the console

Okay, maybe someone can answer this - for anyone else, since maybe CK2 2.7, has it constantly been crashing for you? Just an unapparent CTD suddenly. I don't know what causes it.

I thought it may be a rogue mod, but the crash dump file is giving me crap about ck2.exe denied permissions. Even though I have it on administrator rights. But having played EUIV recently after a VERY long time, for MEIOU, I noticed that I get a graphical error not too long in.

Is this likely Paradox's doing? Or Nvidia? Nvidia did have a really problematic update long ago, wherein DirectX apparently wasn't disengaging, hence nothing else could use it until restart.

Which part? I liberated Aragon and gave it to the Grandmaster of the Knights of Calatrava, but then he became both the King and Grandmaster, but his dynasty phased out and the successor had an independent Aragon, free from Calatrava. Same happened when I gifted Sweden to the Teutonic Knights.

Depends what you want, Sephardis are the brown sand nigger Jews, who have lived in the middle east for millenia. Ashkenazis are "white" Jews, who mixed heavily with Europeans in order to infiltrate them. Modern Israel is run by Ashkenazis, ancient Israel was ruled by Sephardis.

>After seizing control of Outer Mongolia, the Qing government grouped Khalkha khoshuns into 4 aimags (province): Tusiyetu Khan aimag, Zasaghtu Khan aimag, Secen Khan aimag and Sain Noyan Khan aimag. In addition, the territories populated by Oirats in the Kobdo region were grouped into Togs Huleg Dalai Khan aimag and Unen Zorigtu Khan aimag. Aimags were governed by aimag congress chigulgan comprising the lords of the khoshuns. The chigulgan daruga (чyyлгaн дapгa - official presiding the congress) was appointed from the khoshun lords by the Qing government.

>>181150186
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_of_Europe
>The age of the Concert is sometimes known as the Age of Metternich, due to the influence of the Austrian chancellor's conservatism and the dominance of Austria within the German Confederation, or as the European Restoration, because of the reactionary efforts of the Congress of Vienna to restore Europe to its state before the French Revolution.

There's a reason it took until 1848 for the powder keg of ideals the French Revolution set off boiled over once again, and that reason was Austria's foreign minister Klemens von Metternich.

Austria only got rekt in the Spanish Succession/7 Years War because it continually drew the short stick in the diplomatic horse trading of the 1700s - and Frederick II was luckier than Ceasar with the succession of Peter III of Rus - but following the fall of Napoleon Austria was a capital G great power and Prussia was considered the weaker of the two until roughly Bismark takes the helm.

>>181150262
I'll try to do that - it helps that I spawn as an absolute monarchy! One of the funny things about Metternich is that he expected everyone else to simply adhere to the rules of the power balance but never failed in his duty to advocate for Austria.
Europe shall be equal, but Austria shall be more equal than others.

At a meeting between Mosley and Thomas Shaw later that evening, the new Principal Secretary discusses the necessity of armed forces expansion for the Commonwealth.

“Expansion?” Shaw stammers. “Oswald, do you know the daily deficit of the armed forces in Germany when only five corps were operating? It was over £3,000 per day! And unlike Campbell, this government doesn’t have the luxury of revoking welfare payments in order to pay for a larger force. What’s more, we’re investing in industrial expansion as well, which Campbell never bothered with. How are we meant to afford even a few more corps, much less a total mobilization of our reserves?”

“In whatever way is necessary!” Mosley snapped, a little frustrated at his dithering Secretary of War. “We shall place men into the reserves when the army is not actively engaged, we shall cut naval exercises while at peace, we shall build a dozen dozen tank factories to make the cost of a Haig less than ten pounds! I do not care what needs to be done, Thomas, we will DO it. I have plans, ones that cannot wait any longer. We have allowed an arch-enemy of the International to sit free for too long, and Campbell has bumbled another which will need to be set to rights. His failure proved that the armies we have now are insufficient. So we shall raise more, even if the cost of the tanks, the shells, the planes, the rifles, and the cars will make us cry with the cost. I will not have us enslaved to fear over a balance in the chequebook when men labor and die in chains because we are too afraid to fight.”

A sigh later, Shaw resigns himself. “How many corps?”

“So many as you can raise.”

Going to try to at least get pretty far today, but there's almost zero chance of me finishing now. Bad night for work last night.

Bribe factions when they appear to go away. Hand out free honorary titles, get money from the pope for bribes, etc, do everything in your power to avoid civil conflict. Having a demnese at your max limit helps avoid said conflict, too.
Early game train your heirs with martial virtues, after you've got multiple kingdoms under your belt start training them in diplomacy.

In late May, in a symbolic move of friendship, Luxembourg’s Germany sends a formal request for reinstitution to the International on the basis of its present borders. It is another (and more firm) acknowledgement that the DDR will respect the border changes which were forced upon it by the Second German-Soviet War, and a sign that the DDR will likewise respect Britain’s place as the morally and militarily foremost nation of that International.

In a speech broadcast to the entirety of Britain (and indeed the International) by the BBC later that night, Mosley warmly accepts the reintroduction of Germany to the International, calling upon all communist nations to “forget the foul excesses of Thälmann” and “never fear the German people; instead realize that they have suffered at the hands of their leadership, and that it is now our duty to assist them, insofar as we are able. We have done what I had hoped we should: we have, with our self-sacrifice, initiated a new age of altruism in the restored International. Now we must act upon that altruism, with every fiber of our beings we must. That begins, now, by helping one another; in the future, we shall continue this spirit by helping those who do not yet know that they need to be helped.”

In this case there is a save during the Second German-Soviet war, but it's at the point where Germany is already collapsing and the Commonwealth armies have landed. It'll be uploaded, but you won't be able to win as that Germany without cheating.

Late next month, the Lion of the Seas passes away. Zachary Seaton had served first Britain and then the Commonwealth loyally, serving in a command capacity since the government of Rosebery through to that of Mosley, a full thirty years of outstanding success on the high seas. He had never lost a battle, even when critically outgunned, such as during the first German-Soviet War; “his victories at sea,” Campbell will claim at his funeral, “were as critical for the success of the Commonwealth as the victories which the Worker’s Army were able to secure on land.”

Seaton is awarded full state honors at his funeral, with such prestigious figures as Mosley and Albert Alexander, the Secretary of the Navy.

After a week of lying in state, Seaton’s successor to the position of Grand Admiral is announced to be his protégé, Martin Mundy. Although nowhere near as skilled as his predecessor Mundy is still quite exceptional, and has a much mightier and technologically advanced navy than Seaton ever did. It is expected that he will make the Commonwealth as proud as his predecessor.

I'm not ending in '35, I end in '34 since there's not much more that I could do. I guess I could force one more war if I wanted but it's not necessary, so I stopped a little early. But yes, there's a save from that point.

>>181154043
It would be a miracle to even white peace. At this point in the war I think Germany's already got a -80 WS. You might be able to trick the AI by offering them the 100 WS communism enforcement in Spain and have them leave you alone, but you'd be hard-pressed to do anything after that. The International is pretty strong in Europe following the Second German-Soviet, Britain is allied with France, Italy, Austria, and the Soviet Union. Denmark and Belgium as well, although they aren't communist. Your only real avenue of expansion once the war finished would be against the Dutch or the Swiss, unless you want to try your hand at another four-front war, this time when Austria is stronger.

It has taken two and a half years to fully arm the ten new corps which Comrade Shaw has been able to train. It has taken tens of thousands of tanks, thousands of airplanes, thirty-thousand artillery pieces, and well over 500,000 uniformed men. It has taken careful balancing of the Commonwealth economy, drastic but temporary cuts in armed forces budgeting, and a massive increase in taxation levels in order to pay for the new armies. The people, even with benefits assured and unemployment down from Campbell’s time, still howl at their taxes, which the government time and again argues are necessary.

But, finally, all is ready.

“The truest enemy of international communism must necessarily be international capital,” a calm Mosley tells the meeting of the Worker’s Cabinet on a frigid day in early December, 1930. “Heretofore we have focused upon Europe, Asia, and Africa, respectively the birthplace of capitalism, its most immediate antecedent, and the field on which capital wrote its greatest excesses. We have never one turned our eyes to the new world, where proto-capital wreaked havoc, and this, I think, is to our peril.

“The United States of America has become mightier than any of us anticipated. When reactionary elements free from Europe, they flee to America. There is hardly any support for communism in America, and yet there are one-hundred and forty-four millions living within its borders, scarcely less than our own state boasts. It is the most industrialized nation on the planet, overflowing with proletarians engaging in worldwide commerce, and yet they work slavishly with no comprehension that there is a better way.

“What we do might be futile—it may be impossible to break the American beast that we have constructed. But we must try, for if we do not it will only grow all the stronger, and there will never again be a chance to construct truly international, trans-continental communism. We are going to war with the United States.”

The corps, commanders, and troop dispersions for the operation which Mosley quite unabashedly refers to as “Eighteen-Twelve.”

Overall, troops are most highly concentrated in the east, with particular concentrations around Sherbrooke, Kingston, and Windsor intended to break American defensive positions at Watertown, Burlington, and Detroit. Once these defensive positions are breached, the orders for the eastern corps are to dig in and begin a gradual occupation of New England, which, despite America’s massive population boom, nevertheless remains the industrial heartland of the nation; taking it will cripple President Al Smith’s ability to respond to the overwhelming influx of Commonwealth troops.

Each of the major troop concentrations has one of the Commonwealth’s best commanders leading; Campbell is located at Windsor, poised to break through at Detroit. Of the eastern corps, Detroit is the only operational region which is not tasked with the primary goal of capturing New England or Washington, D.C., but with distracting American forces and pulling them away from the true zone of conflict.

In the west the corps are much more spread out, frequently allowing for massive gaps in the line. Commonwealth presences around Montana and the Dakotas are primarily intended to draw American forces away from the more critical combat zones in the east, whereas the three highly-concentrated corps at Washington state will, it is hoped, be able to capture the highly-populated west coast and leave America with no mass industrial centers to resist the invasion.

Hungary is finally converted to Orthodox, ending my heretic purge of Eastern Europe. All that is left now is to get an alliance with both Hungary and (Orthodox) Bohemia, and optionally PU either of them if I'm lucky enough. That would surely be enough to wage a war against the Ottomans' 100-strong high-discipline doomstack, which is currently three times bigger than my own

I also plan on vassalizing Georgia and expanding the Orthodox presence there but I will need the diplo ideas before that, as stacking too many vassals will cause them all to go rebellious

On April 1st, 1931, the International is called to assist the Commonwealth in its war against the United States of America, the “arch-bastion of capital.” Although it is likely that many of the International states will be unable to provide serious aid, Mosley still insists on calling them on the basis of showing solidarity against the Americans.

In a short BBC broadcast describing the rationale for the conflict, Mosley largely repeats the justifications which he had shared with the Worker’s Cabinet: the United States is a refuge for reactionaries, an industrialized nation with no support for communism where the laborer is enslaved, and a powerful and international force for capital exchange. But he also goes further, playing on historical sentiment by announcing that “America is our problem. We birthed her, we populated her, we taught her how to behave. We infected her with the disease that is capital, when before she was free of it. It is now our job, however unenviable the task, to withdraw that poison from the blood of the nation, at whatsoever cost it may take.”

Yeah, so much for the conversion. They almost instantly converted back (meaning that since the mod doesn't allow interfaith marriages, the royal marriage and alliance disappear as soon as their ruler dies)

Oh well I'll let them form their own Catholic alliances then and focus on Bohemia instead. But if Eastern Europe isn't secure to stop the Ottomans then I'll have to seek other alternatives to build up a reliable army of alliances or vassals, so probably getting Moldavia as a vassal and expanding into Hungary would be a good idea, or Georgia into Golden Horde.

Problem being: I will have to stop colonizing Siberia since I cannot allow nations like Ming to border me, else they will declare war as soon as I do so against the Ottomans. Not that it matters too much since the entire Northern Asia region gives you some 100 pops max when you colonize it, and Constantinople alone has as many, which means that it is far more profitable to focus on conquering back Constantinople over mindlessly blobbing into Siberia

Massing American troops at Buffalo encourage the War Office to shift additional forces there just before the war is declared, and this strategy proves well-founded, as the major breaches which were relied upon to secure the invasion of New England are all accomplished within a fortnight. Orders are provided to begin digging in and advancing down the east coast, but, for now, all that can be done back in Britain is to await further news with a stiff upper lip. No American forces which are not retreating have been spotted in the east; it appears that the distraction forces in Montana and the Dakotas may have done their jobs in drawing American forces off west.

Even so, these early victories encourage some degree of trepidation within Britain. Even entirely lacking tanks as the Americans do, their armies have managed to inflict a surprising amount of casualties against even the best Commonwealth officers operating a fully modern and mechanized force. Even though the casualty ratios are presently in the Commonwealth’s favor, they almost none are the resounding 3:1 which the War Office predicted would be necessary to ensure victory in the conflict. Per the Office’s report, “anything but an inflicted casualty ratio of 3:1 will likely prove unsustainable. This office estimates that the United States possesses 800,000 active duty personnel with the ability to mobilize another 4,000,000 or more. Reinforcements and equipment replacement thus cannot be maintained for the Commonwealth armies operating in America unless the Worker’s Army significantly outperforms the American armed forces, limiting casualties and discouraging American forces from attacking long enough for critical supplies to reach the front line.”

Early reports suggest that this may not be possible in America, and as yet the War Office has no alternative suggestions. Shaw grows tired of advising Mosley that the best course of action is to “see how the situation develops.”

In-universe I would think that the GPGB would have hidden the massing troop counts by landing the armies in the far north (which I actually did) and then garrisoning them north of the border, only eventually coming down to within sight of the US just before the war began.

The US uses very few recon planes and obviously Canada has anti-air batteries, so any violation of the border would be punished, and the US doesn't want to pick a fight with the Commonwealth. So they wouldn't know about the massing until just before the war began.

When the news arrives in London, the clerks of the war ministry run singing to the streets. Girls dance in the fields with their lovers, and Mosley leaves Downing Street to a hail of cheers and cries of “forward, forward, forward!” as he makes his way to Westminster to give his speech.

“Capital, my friends,” the smiling Mosley cries from the central rostrum, “destroys itself once again! In its supreme selfishness, in its singular narrow-minded pursuit of what it desires with no care to aught else, the capitalist mind has surely never been surpassed. For though we fight a war of conversion, of destroying the capitalist body to allow the socialist soul to shine forth, capitalists cannot see their mortal peril. They see only what they have ever seen: another dog in their kennel, another fierce beast clawing for control over the paltry little land, or resources, or people which they dare to call their own, their property, as if life, land, and home could be owned!

“The Empire of Mexico has declared war upon the United States of America! A nation of fifty-eight million peoples, with 600,000 active personnel and 2,000,000 more in reserve, they have launched an invasion of the Chihuahua state, and even now cut into California, Nevada, and all the other undefended states to the south. Against such numbers, with a million British men and women marching upon them from the north already, the United States cannot possibly resist!

“In their lust for control, the capitalists in Mexico, ever greedy for more profit and wealth, have doomed themselves for all time. The future is a red one, should the great bastion of America fall, and I say it now must! The Mexicans have handed us the greatest victory we have ever achieved in our time, and may their God bless them, because all know that we shall not spare the rod when their time comes!”

Following the Mexican declaration of war, the conflict in America loses its nervous quality and continues at a much more formal and professional—if not quite relaxed—pace. The Worker’s Army has installed a communist government enough times before that the process is routine, and with the American army divided and much of New England already under Commonwealth occupation, America is now no more dangerous a foe than Japan was: still capable of overwhelming the Worker’s Army with its numbers and still to be respected, but not quite such a force of nature as it had seemingly been before.

As soon as the Mexican declaration of war reached the War Office in May they provided orders for Benjamin French, a defensive expert attached to the Buffalo breach, to travel across Pennsylvania and down into Maryland, capturing D.C. and the surrounding area and forcing the President to flee. This is accomplished by early June, when the White House is once again symbolically burned by an invading British force, this time for its ties to “slavery and arch-capital”; Al Smith and his government are reluctantly forced to retreat to the defensive capital at Denver, leaving the Eastern Theater free to install one of America’s few communists, reporter John “Jack” Reed, as an interim leader for America before the formal election of a new communist government can take place. With New York about to fall, that day appears to be closer than ever.

The two major battles currently taking place in America are at Boston in the east and Grand Rapids in the central United States. If Boston’s defending garrison falls then the last major northern port in America will fall with it, whereas Grand Rapids’s collapse would ensure the occupation of Michigan, forcing more American troops to be rerouted away from the eastern theater.

That's true, and I considered it, but I thought that this was somewhat poetic, as Mosley's speech indicates. At the end, when solidarity is the only possible thing that can save the capitalist nations of the planet, they're still fighting over scraps of the old order without realizing how perilously close the new is to dominance.

Late June and early July sees massive victories for the Commonwealth, making the Independence Day celebrations throughout the United States somewhat muted. First, Benjamin French successfully captures Norfolk and forces the U.S. Navy out of the harbor, directly into the waiting United Fleet under Mundy. Mundy, eager to prove himself after long standing in the shadow of his predecessor Seaton, absolutely eviscerates the American fleet, proving simultaneously that the brand-new Mosley-Class Dreadnaughts are the true titans of the seas. Only a few screens are lost in exchange for almost the entire combat-effective American navy.

Shortly after Independence Day passes, the last defenders of Boston are finally routed from the city. The casualty reports which filter to the War Department have the entire office abuzz, as Leopold Hannover was able to successfully inflict a 6:1 casualty ratio upon the American defenders before capturing the city, a much-needed reduction in American forces which will certainly go a long way toward ensuring the northeast can be secured and armies established in defensive positions before the Americans are truly able to launch a counterattack—if, of course, they are ever able to.

Sometimes I did intervene. For example I maintained the alliance of the Netherlands and Austria-Hungary when the Dutch refused to join the war on their side.

But the problem is that if I intervened rampantly and always tried to change the outcome against myself, it would be complained about as much if not more than if I just let the game go on about its own business. If I had some set of guidelines or house rules about when /gsg/ thought it would be a good idea to modify the game against myself then I would be more willing to try to increase the difficulty more frequently, but without that I've always tended to choose to simply let the game do what it wants and build my narrative around that. This is no Jerusalem AAR when I haven't lost a single war, either; Japan beat me entirely legitimately, and I can say with some confidence that America probably would've beaten me without Mexican intervention.

National solidarity against communism doesn't always happen, and that's probably even more the case in this timeline, where most rare African and Asian goods (oil, rubber) have to be purchased through the International. I think there certainly should've been more solidarity, but the game didn't produce it.

Which, as it happens, they are not.

Although the Americans are able to regroup sufficiently well to launch a coordinated strike in Cleveland, it is too little, too late. Most of America’s core industrial territory has already been lost by the time the American commanders finally put up earnest effort to breach the Commonwealth lines, and such important cities as Philadelphia and New York have long since fallen. Al Smith’s government in Denver is struggling to maintain the façade of central control in a nation which is divided by war, and Mexican and British troops stare at each other warily across the wooded hills of northern California, having already bisected the nation’s west.

It is in this environment of uncertainty, with Mexican armies rapidly approaching Denver from the south and millions of Americans already dead to Commonwealth bullets, that Al Smith surrenders to Mosley’s government in mid-August.

The reasoning behind Smith’s surrender to the Commonwealth of all parties will puzzle historians for centuries. Many rightly point out that America’s victory in the war could have been virtually guaranteed had Smith simply surrendered Chihuahua to Mexico, and even so late as mid-August surrendering to Mexico and redeploying America’s forces might have brought success. So why sign over the entire American government to Britain before seeking a peace with Mexico?

Most contemporary arguments suggest a combination of lost hope following the massive Commonwealth victories and mounting concerns about the Commonwealth blockade and the number of lives which would be lost if critical supplies were cut off from America from all sides (for recall that all America’s ports were by this time occupied or blockaded, and supplies were not reaching the States from Mexico or Canada, which were both enemy territories). Nevertheless this explanation is unsatisfactory in many respects, and the question of why Smith surrendered will be a contentious issue for all time.

The first President of the People’s Republic of America—installed, of course—is Jack Reed, the leader of the transitional government which Mosley had installed when Washington fell a few months before. He isn’t democratically elected, it’s true, but that’s entirely because America isn’t yet prepared for socialism; once the Communist Party of the United States properly lays the groundwork for communism in the land that was once the bastion of reaction, there will certainly be legitimate elections to replace him.

How the groundwork for communism will be lain in America given its almost uniform antipathy to the doctrine is a much more curious proposition. American citizens sit and stare in shock at the red hammer-and-sickle flag is raised above courthouses throughout the nation. Many, particularly immigrants, weep openly at the lost dream of America, the dream of a land free from communism. Against all odds and all hopes, communism has come to America in the most stark of ways.

Many attempt to resist, of course. A few towns simply kill any government official that attempts to come close, while a few isolated regions declare total independence, or continued loyalty to the government of Al Smith, even though Smith is presently jailed in Washington. In response, Reed declares martial law and begins the most extreme series of purges ever seen in a communist nation. Three-fourths of the army is executed, and 15 million people die at the hands of Reed’s jackbooted death-squads. He claims that “such extreme measures are necessary in the bastion of capital,” and they are certainly effective. But the memories of fathers ripped away from daughters and shot on street-corners, of wealthy women raped by platoons before having their throats slit, of the intentional programs in the south which gave blacks power over whites in exchange for loyalty to the Party… such memories are not easily forgotten. They will shape the horrible future of America in the decades to come.

I can't change that the Americans chose to do a purge immediately after this, and that they just decided not to build their army back up again. Their support in America went from 1% in every province to 30% or more, so it's effective even if by all standards it shouldn't be

They would consider fascists to be reactionaries in the dictionary rather than party sense of the term, but yes, fascism is a very marginalized ideology in this timeline. The only really powerful nations that are even in danger of adopting it are Italy and Mexico, and Italy's presence in the International pretty much guarantees that any revolt there will be put down before the government falls.

While the Worker’s Army prepares to sail out in America after remaining behind long enough to stabilize Reed’s weak regime, a sudden and entirely unanticipated Irish rebellion rocks the isles.

Fighting for Irish independence as well as the liberalization of the Commonwealth, this rebellion has been a long time in the coming, and is extremely well-organized. Since as early as the 1910s there had been serious calls for Irish independence even despite the major work that Principal Secretary Keane’s father had done for the Irish in Britain, and despite the fact that the Principal Secretary himself was, of course, an Irishman. After decades of repression and careful monitoring of these independence cliques, they have finally stockpiled enough materiel to pose a serious threat to the state.

That is, they would pose a threat if the state were not entirely willing to utilize its greatest weapons of war against these “counter-revolutionaries and ungrateful enemies of their countryman Keane,” as Mosley puts it. Tanks and planes roll into Ireland in vast numbers, commanded by Frederick Saxe’s son Charles, who has taken the surname Windsor.

Although the rebels will gain control of most of Ireland and eventually even pass to Glasgow via a few stolen shipping barges before all is said and done, they cannot resist the modern firepower of recon planes and tanks; they are put down viciously, and Ireland returned to peaceful quiet. They do not ever attempt to rise again.

Which is fortunate, for the Worker’s Army needs no distractions for what comes next.

Although Mosley has been popular, even wildly so, a shadow of doubt lays upon his Secretariat which cannot easily be ignored, and that is nothing less than the Worker’s Army’s defeat in Japan. Although Archibald Campbell has remained silent about the defeat as ordered, even silence and censorship cannot completely prevent whispers that it was Mosley’s coup that doomed Red Dawn, and that, even so bad as things were under Campbell, at least the Worker’s Army would not have been led to shame and disgrace were it not for Mosley’s refusal to support the invasion. Britain, and then the Commonwealth, only ever lost to a single foe—to lonely Japan.

These whispers are, of course, counterrevolutionary and must be silenced at all costs. But, as the newly-gutted Scotland Yard have hesitantly told Mosley time and again, it is difficult to silence words without the degree of power and terror which the institution held under Campbell, power which Mosley is simply not willing to return to it.

The alternative solution, as the General Secretary sees it, is a Second Red Dawn. And why not? The army which can now operate in Japan is almost four times as large as the force Campbell brought, and with the ability to stage landing sites in Korea, there is little chance of getting bogged down by the Japanese. What cannot be conquered with words can be conquered by deed, and the stain of defeat wiped away.

“My friends, I come to you today to inform you of this government’s declaration of war against Japan, a decision which, I know, fills many of you with trepidation. The defeat in Red Dawn still haunts us all, and it would, I know, seem that the recent decisions of this government to target only those nations which are among the strongest for the benevolent hand of internationalism would seem to contradict the very doctrine which I previously espoused.

“I stand here now to reassure you about the confidence of this government in success, and about my personal belief that this war will be critical to expanding our influence in China, influence which was lost following the collapse of the Qing dynasty.

“Japan is a mighty nation which is highly defensible, and with this I will not argue. They are capitalists, but they are also fanatics who guard the body of their emperor as sacrosanct, and will fight to the last in order to protect him. This fierce devotion was what led to our forces being overwhelmed in Red Dawn.

“Now, however, we are better-prepared for this war. We have almost four times the quantity of transports and men ready to fight as we had during Red Dawn, and the ability to make landings in Korea, recently annexed to Japan, before attempting to take the main island. We will be able to establish defensive perimeters and land en masse, bypassing Japanese defenses and overwhelming them now as they once did us.

“But, moreover, Japan has many allies among the Chinese warlords, allies which we might occupy and educate in the precepts of communism now rather than later, when they are mightier. This war serves the dual purpose of crushing the last imperial power in Asia while also providing this government inroads into China, which we might one day use to secure a fully red China. I will not pretend the war will be easy, but this is no America—there is no question that we will win.”

Nope, to colonize Siberia you will also need to setup a regional capital in the middle of that region so it can project autonomy reduction in all the provinces around it, else you get 100% autonomy provinces (i.e useless). The regional capital costs 1500 ducats for each level and the only benefit I get out of that is reduced autonomy in provinces that have 2-3 rural pops per province - absolutely pointless and useless. I'd rather focus on conquering Eastern Europe and establishing puppets inside Europe, or using those precious ducats for infrastructure around Moscow instead of wasting them on regional capitals

I do plan to create a client state for Siberia however, but that happens after diplo tech 35 (late game)

The initial “hot landing” in Korea proves a resounding success, a far easier and more practical plan than Mosley had expected it to be. Field Marshals Campbell and Haig had advised it, warning that there was the potential of overwhelming force beating back Commonwealth forces if they were not strongly concentrated at each point of engagement: Korea, Satsuma, and finally Honshu. The doctrine would come to be adopted far and wide under the principle of “overwhelming concentrated force,” what the Germans would call the “Schwerpunktprinzip.” Although some commanders would advise that this principle be downsized to a tactical level and utilized in combat rather than as a strategic principle, this is frequently dismissed--the comintern has men to spare, and why not use them to overwhelm?

By mid-June the entirety of Korea has fallen and the lone Japanese garrison there has been defeated, paving the way for the invasion of Satsuma, providing a landing zone which can be used to transfer soldiers directly to Honshu.

“The action at Nagasaki and Fukuoka is as close to a real representation of Campbell’s redemption as can ever be found. Here was the ex-Secretary, the man who ordered tens of thousands of Commonwealth citizens executed and had been overthrown after a decade of tyranny, fighting next to the very man who had carried out the coup against him, General Francis Grenfell.

“Archibald Campbell is a multifaceted figure, and the record does not serve us well in attempting to discern what he thought at all the various moments when he was tested by Secretary Mosley and his government. Did Campbell anticipate that the second Red Dawn was an attempt to pin further failure on himself? Did he believe that the operation was pointless—did he even perhaps feel fear facing the Japanese again? On this the sources are silent, and we can speak only to actions.

“The story which Campbell’s deeds tell is one of service, valor, and loyalty. Campbell and Grenfell entered Nagasaki and Fukuoka with no discernable animosity between them, took up positions outside the respective ports and shelled them until captured, established impressive fortifications, and then between them inflicted over 300,000 Japanese casualties against the mobilized forces which Emperor Hirohito’s Minister of War, Hisaichi Terauchi, continued to send against the landings. Their successes provided for Commonwealth troops to land significant forces at Satsuma, and to strike at Honshu as Campbell’s plan had predicted all along.

“The man had come full circle. From underling clawing his way up to arrogant secretary and back again to servant, Campbell had been humbled. And he had accepted it.”

Following the landings at Satsuma, when the remainder of the Worker’s Army was still being prepared to be ferried onto the island for the assault on Honshu, word is received from Trotsky in the Soviet Union that a sudden pouring forth of Japanese troops from Sakhalin island had breached his defenses and begun to capture much of Siberia.

The commander in Korea, Marshal Lester Haig, dutifully sends six armies north in order to engage the Japanese, but both Haig and Keane see this Japanese distraction as an opportunity more than a threat. If the main Japanese forces in the war are distracted to the north and pouring through Sakhalin, where are the forces which would defend central Japan, the forces that rebuffed the Worker’s Army the last time a Red Dawn was attempted?

Although some forces make their way to Satsuma and cross over to Honshu, three corps are left in reserve, and a second naval invasion of Tokyo is once again planned.

Meanwhile, Pakistani and Turkmeni forces have successfully occupied one of Japan’s allies, Xinjiang, and have enforced a communal government.

Long exposed to oppression at the hands of the Chinese state and with few real resources and no industry available to them, the Xinjiang Commune is a prototypical example of a nation which, conventionally, would not be prepared for communism. The insistence upon the part of the new “Emir” of Xinjiang that the nation be referred to as the Xinjiang “Islamic” Commune is only a further example, for the Uighur do not understand that religion itself is antithetical to communism.

Mosley, however, is quite pleased at the development. “It does not matter,” says he, “whether or not the Uighur people are prepared for communism or not. That it has been enforced gives us a path into their government, and, gradually, we will shape and prepare them for the coming of true communism, when they will be reintegrated into the larger Chinese nation. The maneuvers we make now are preparation only, preparation for a greater China which is lasting, and red as the laborer’s blood.”

I don't want to destabilize Turkestan even further, which I'd definitely be doing if I gave them Xinjiang. The territory isn't even majority Uighur, it's South Han, so I'd be giving them land which isn't cored and has a primarily different culture and religion group. Turkestan already doesn't have any cores on anything, so they're hardly stable in the first place.

Besides that, the point of proletarianizing these small states is to provide later inroads to China. The major faction in China and the one that looks likely to win is the Anhui Clique, which I haven't touched. Proletarianizing these people will provide allies, or at the very least some Chinese subjects who are communists for later campaigns to proletarianize the entirety of China.

On October 22nd, with Japanese forces divided between the Commonwealth incursions into southern Honshu and the attempted invasion of Siberia, the three corps tasked with the capture of Tokyo finally make their landings.

To the shock and surprise of the Worker’s Army, it is discovered that Hirohito is, against all odds, still in the capital. Apparently, although the War Ministry had urged the Emperor to vacate the capital and travel into the countryside, Hirohito was over-confident about the security of his nation following the last attempt to strike against them and refused to leave his traditional haunts. Given the choice between the Imperial centers at Kyoto and Tokyo, the Japanese government chose to retain Hirohito in Tokyo, which was seen as a more secure location than the under-threat Kyoto.

This decision will cost them greatly.

Lester Haig, Benjamin French, and William Grenwell have begun to capture Tokyo and its outlying suburbs with all speed, utilizing tanks and sappers to blast through fortifications and inching ever-closer to the heart of the city. Much of Tokyo already burns from fire-bombing, but what of the paper town still stands after the flames die down will be subject to the treads of tanks. The Emperor will not leave his burning city.

Well, it's not like the US is stable, or like these purges occurred immediately. At first it was the Worker's Army disarming and turning over military personnel to the central government, then the government established control where it could. In New England and the rust belt it was easy because the Worker's Army had done most of the work for them, in the south and southwest they put minorities in power to form a loyal base and then shored it up with a military presence and minority-led purges, and elsewhere they mostly don't control anything. It's basically a civil war within America even just now, and the Disunited States will be an inevitability in the future.

Simultaneous with the fire-bombing of Tokyo, the governments of Mongolia and the Yunnan Clique surrender to the invading forces of the International, leaving only the Qinghai Clique to be defeated. Led by the self-proclaimed new Emperors of China, the Muslim Ma family under Ma Hongbin, the Hongxian Emperor, defeating the Qinghai will be critical to ensuring a lasting future for China without a monarchy. But breaking the Hongxian Emperor is for another day.

In Mongolia a People’s Republic is established without issue, but in Yunnan the matter is more difficult. Based solely upon the power of the local warlord Long Yun, the Yunnan Clique does not have an alternative vector for leadership; there is no local government outside Yun’s personally selected officials and close family to take power from him, nor a strong tradition of independence in the region. The Shanxi has not been even a semi-autonomous state since the 18th century.

Eventually it is decided that local peasant governments will come together to select leaders who will then be sent to the Commonwealth for education in internationalist doctrine, eventually to return and take control of their own government. In the interim the Shanxi is left under the control of a government of local Han bureaucrats, who will be replaced by a proper communist government when the peasant leaders are prepared. The Vietnamese and Thai People’s Republics station armies in Shanxi to ensure that, unlike the Qing regency, the Shanxi will not collapse in the interim.

But this reality's Reed wasn't influenced by the Bolshevik Revolution, he was influenced by three decades of internationalism. He sees Britain's International as the de facto communist power in the world, and cooperating with it is effectively the same as being a communist, while opposing it is opposing communism. There are precious few national-socialists left.

>>181183374
>This is precisely why people were telling you to buff America up, you know.
I know, but I would have lost had Mexico not intervened, so I stand behind not buffing them. Mexico was the only reason I won that war, and while it was beyond stupid for Mexico to attack America when the fate of the new world was in the balance, I still feel that, narratively, it was worth it to keep that decision rather than to ally them together. Mexico still claims the southwest, after all, and are hardly friendly with the American government. They would just break the alliance even if I forced it.

On November 8th, with Tokyo in ashes and the suburbs already completely occupied by Commonwealth forces, the tanks of Benjamin French press forward to the Kyūjō Kyūjō, the Imperial Palace within Tokyo. Before French can begin firing upon what remains of the structure in an effort to clear a safe path to the Imperial bunker which is known to be inside, an agent of Emperor Hirohito, waving the white flag, issues forth with an offer of surrender.

The proposition is intriguing, and Mosley seizes upon it immediately. Emperor Hirohito, seeing the willingness of the Commonwealth to destroy his people and his nation in order to achieve victory, agrees to an abdication without any further fighting, but only on the condition that he is permitted to remain the spiritual Emperor of Japan. He will no longer retain any political power, but will be permitted to remain within his old residence in Kyoto, subject to the wishes of the new government, which will be secularized rather than made fully atheist, although it will no longer be taught that the Emperor or his line are divine.

Although against the wishes of many in the Worker’s Parliament for its unusual allowance for privilege, Mosley permits it on the basis of the “Japanese condition.”

“No Japanese man,” says Mosley, “would permit a government the installer of which had murdered their monarch, who is as a God to these people. In truth I had hoped to keep him alive regardless, and though this agreement gives the Emperor more wealth and authority than I would wish, it still makes him nothing more than a useful puppet. It is simply another Shogunate, but this Shogun is a communist.”

No one said anything about forcing an alliance, but no one said you HAD to win against America. I mean, if we already knew you would win what is the point of waiting with trepidation to see how it all plays out? The whole point of the endboss is that we WOULDN'T know who would win. And especially since you're a human, people knew even top of the line America would need a major buff to be the true endboss. Because we know the AI is retarded.

If anything, you should have been dealing with America earlier, sort of nudging towards certain paths. As this TL America, I certainly would have invaded and annexed all of Mexico, maybe down to the Canal even. And CERTAINLY made them have a much much much larger standing army.

If the refugee experience would mean anything, and the trauma of the world inflicted by Britain since 1836, it's that state national guards would each be bigger than many nations' entire armies, and even Swiss style laws forcing gun ownership.

My puppets, especially the African ones, did almost nothing but sap money from me. If this playthrough taught me anything it's that international playthroughs simply don't work, at least in the present version of HPM. The AI is too stupid to help half the time even when it does have a land connection.

Even still, I did all this with no more than 20 brigades raised outside of the home isles. It's fair that the International was strong, but when I engaged on my own or engaged without serious support that was still me doing it with just the brigades I could raise, and all the economic impact of doing that with almost no colonies.

>>181185248
But I didn't--and don't--think that was merited. This America might well be terrified of communism and be doing everything it can to push it back, but that doesn't mean that it can suddenly stop reality. It's a communist nation trying to sell on a market which basically lacks all suppliers and purchasers in Europe, Africa, and Asia; economically, it would be destroyed. This is especially true because of the Dust Bowl.

I didn't want to weaken them and I didn't, but if I strengthened them it would be just as unrealistic, only from a different perspective. I instead chose what I typically choose: to allow the AI to do what it wants and to formulate my narrative around that, as I said before.

It was a stupid decision on Mexico's part, true, but it's not as if it was known that America was going to win. I reiterate: if Mexico hadn't joined, I almost certainly would have lost. When I send the saves out, try the scenario for yourself while removing Mexico. You'll see what they would've done to me if not for Mexico's decision to attack.

That Shogun is Kyuichi Tokuda, a national-socialist with hard-left tendencies in matters separate from that of Japanese prestige and national integrity, a just fit for the new government which, Mosley hopes, will transition Japan from extreme nationalism to internationalism in the coming decades.

Hirohito is stripped of his godly lineage, forced to renounce control of the government publicly and through radio broadcasts, and allowed only to respond to his given name with no honorific. Nevertheless it is acknowledged that he has a special place within Japanese society, and is returned to Kyoto with honor and permitted to continue carrying out his spiritual role as a guiding light for the people… for the moment. In the future, of course, the secularizing tendencies of the government will turn atheistic, and the Emperor and his family will eventually be done away with as unnecessary.

But that is not the case for the moment. For now, Tokuda rules with Hirohito as his subject. And while the Ma family was unfortunately permitted to continue proclaiming themselves Emperors of China in the peace, Mosley knows that the future for them is a bleak one, and their freedom is temporary.

What matters is the achievement: the second Red Dawn. Japan is a communist nation, the shadow hanging over Mosley’s government has dissipated, and there is only one foe left to tame.

That foe is something of an unexpected one: the Empire of Mexico under Empress Maria Josepha I.

At first glance, Mexico is not a particularly auspicious nation. Although it has a strong industry and army it is something of a laughingstock outside of the Americas, a nation virtually subject to the United States and wracked by labor protests and fascistic attempts to seize control of the monarchy, which has long since adopted constitutional limits to stem the dissent roiling within. It appears anything but stable, even if it is wealthy.

In the past Mexico would not have even registered as an important target to Comrade Mosley, but recent developments have changed his opinion. Presently fascism is a doctrine which is quite literally the subject of jokes, having only ever existed in such third-rates as Honduras, Serbia and the Dominican Republic. Yet fascism is a specifically anti-communistic doctrine, and Mexico is the strongest nation on the planet that seriously threatens to fall under fascist control. What’s more, Mexico lays claim to much of the American southwest, and with the continuing guerrilla war in America underway thanks to President Reed’s weakened government, the intervention of Mexico in America could spell Reed’s toppling, and the rise of a second nation in the new world to threaten the International. The annexation of so much land, especially California, would immediately raise Mexico to a level of rough parity with the United States for power.

With Chihuahua already returned to Mexico and the state growing more powerful by the day (it’s now the top immigrant destination for people fleeing the comintern since the United States has fallen), Mosley decides that the time to bring Mexico down is now, before it is a major threat, rather than after it has already become a problem which cannot be contained.

I mean this is your AAR, don't get me wrong, but you're asking constantly for a suspension of disbelief, and then saying you can't likewise make a small one - or rather, not even a suspension of disbelief, considering just what a world this is. I don't even see how this is a suspension of reality. We're talking Maoist levels of death inflicted by communists so far in the world and it's not even 1936. I just don't think that somehow, receiving constant trauma like this over the decades, how this doesn't RADICALLY transform the character of America and Americans. Besides being even more populated than OTL, there is much more expertise around than even our time, and a massive, absolutely massive internal market, likewise world market. And you've modelled your International as trading with capitalist powers as well, so you can't just say suddenly they decide to lock themselves in their own economic bloc non-communicating with the other. Even communist countries traded with capitalist.

I get what you're saying it's only because of Mexico you won, but my main argument is if you were to lose, you should have accepted that loss. Even in your own words, you only won because of AI retardation. As >>181185410 said, when you went commie, America likely should have seized Canada, or at least made it a protectorate. Things like having a retarded small navy are just stupid considering the industrial size, and considering how the world has been for decades now. They should have been pumping cruisers, dreads, and destroyers out the ass. Barely any tanks and planes? Just total hogwash, imo. It's insane, the more one thinks about it. Again, large part of the problem is the retarded AI, but again, that's why people were insistent you at least sort of nudge them along certain directions.

I get what you're saying, but by the same token many of these things were impossible with the style I played this AAR in, which was playing ahead and writing up posts after. If I had more time this summer and I could've stretched the AAR out then I would probably have never chosen this posting style, but I had to be finished by the end of this weekend and I almost didn't even make it playing it this way, which is much faster.

Playing ahead, I had to make all the calls on my own, and I couldn't use polls to gauge opinion on decisions which I wasn't sure about. I didn't know what anons would or wouldn't be comfortable with so I had to decide how much to interfere with normal game mechanics, and my natural instinct is to keep things mostly as the game itself has them.

My point in saying that America would've beaten me was to justify not buffing them, however, because I felt before the war even began that they were easily capable of beating me, and I think they were. If they had actually beaten me I naturally would've accepted it, just like I accepted the defeat I got handed by Japan, but I didn't know before going in that Mexico was going to join, and I saw no reason to buff a nation that was already so overwhelmingly powerful.

Retrospectively I obviously would have buffed them, but that's not what this is about. I'm unfortunately on a time schedule making calls all on my own, and I had to make the call based on what I thought the war was going to be like before I fought it.

Oh right, about the time schedule and style. I forgot you play and then write posts later. Well given your circumstances, I suppose that makes sense. I mean, I do AARs, but it's because I have all the time between posts in the world, as well as writing custom events and decisions, that I'm able to get that customized level of abstraction.

Yet speaking the plan and actuating it are two very different things.

Although Mexico does not nearly reach the immense population of the United States, Mexico’s population is much more densely centralized in the central plateau around Mexico City, and the government’s highly advanced rail network makes the potential speed of Mexican mobilization quite a daunting prospect.

What’s more, the city of Acapulco is one of the largest in the new world, and even rivals London in size. If it is permitted to mobilize the fullness of its working masses it could unleash dozens of divisions against the Worker’s Army entirely on its own.

The invasion of Mexico, then, is prepared with the population density of the country and its highly defensible capital in mind. The decision is made to strike from the west, which is the last thing Maria Josepha’s government will expect. Five landings—at Cololo, Acapulco, Collataro, Tuxtla, and Tapachula, with the vast majority of forces landing at the first three zones—will be accompanied by two corps marching from Belize into the Yucatan, to further divert Mexican resources. Acapulco will be captured before it has the chance to mobilize any forces, following which Lester Haig, Benjamin French, and Archibald Campbell will lead their respective corps into active operations: Haig to secure the northwest, French the northeast, and Campbell the capital. While the former two commanders secure and dig into the mountains and hills of the north to ensure no Mexican armies guarding the border with America can break into the Commonwealth-occupied southern regions, Campbell will capture the capital and then swing south to defeat the last of the Mexican forces trapped between the Yucatan and southern landings, winning the war in one fell swoop.

Or, at least, that is the plan as Mosley sells it to the Worker’s Parliament.

When war is declared it, as planned, catches the Mexican government almost entirely off-guard. With the majority of their armies in the north garrisoning the American border and awaiting the possible order to invade the United States, the armed forces find themselves entirely unready for a strike in the center of their nation, and the critical landing sites are all largely secured. Although there is fierce resistance at Tuxtla which will prevent the southern spearhead from pushing toward the Yucatan as had been intended, the most critical landing sites are all occupied within the first few days of the operation.

The Worker’s Army also proves itself quite proficient in its initial battles, with Charles Windsor beating back Francisco Ruiz in Bacalar, even though Ruiz had the advantage of the jungle terrain slowing down the Commonwealth’s new Saxe-2 model tanks.

Victory will depend upon garrisoning the north against the rapidly returning Mexican forces there, however, and capturing Mexico City and beginning the installation of a provisional government before serious resistance can rise. Many mobilized regiments already prepare defenses in Mexico City, and any delay could brook the possibility of being overwhelmed, as in the first iteration of Red Dawn; the war is far from over yet.

Thankfully, the second stage of the occupation goes off without a hitch. Haig and French successfully occupy the northern front, blocking off Mexican reinforcements in the process, while Campbell and his allies lock down the central plateau around Mexico City and begin the harsh process of bombing and street-by-street fighting which has, by now, become one of the staples of the Worker’s Army.

Although there is heavy resistance to the south in Oaxaca and Minatitlan which require the diversion of several corps away from the plateau, after a long delay and heavy street-by-street fighting Marshal Campbell proves capable of capturing the city with only a single supporting corps, and that after inflicting horrifying casualties upon the enemy.

As usual, when the capital falls a new provisional government is installed, this time under M.N. Roy, an Indian intellectual who had been operating as a communist agitator within Mexico for some time. Although the proclamation of Roy as President is something of an admission of defeat given that it implies that there is no Mexican citizen with communist credentials qualified to become President, this view is harshly punished and censored from the official record. It is unfortunately also the truth, however; a bastion of reaction like America was before it, Mexico has almost no native communists, and preciously few which are whatsoever educated.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it was a reactionary revolt early game when they were still a dictatorship that flipped them to a monarchy, then they gradually liberalized. I assume they stayed stable despite the reactionary support from revanchism because they had so many reforms they could pass.

When Roy was installed in mid-November and Campbell began his march to the south to relieve the armies engaged there, the war in Mexico appeared all but won. This is, to put it bluntly, no longer the case.

Two disastrous reverses, one at Oaxaca and the other at Villahermosa, threaten the entire invasion. Fighting in unfamiliar jungle terrain and learning far too late of the unreliability of the Saxe-2 tank, rather than inflicting 3:1 losses as is typical, the Worker’s Army instead suffers 1:8 losses, and even 1:10! The defeats are horrendous, as they trap many corps entirely behind enemy lines; several corps will be lost in the process, and those which remain will find it almost impossible to reinforce sufficiently well to resist the Mexican armies now spreading out to restore control of the countryside to Maria Josepha’s government.

But what’s more, these victories have reinvigorated the Mexican people and encouraged them to believe that success is within their grasp. With entire corps of the Worker’s Army collapsing and many others not combat effective, the War Office nervously wonders whether they are correct—at the very least, something will need to be done immediately to stabilize the situation.

But even by the end of January nothing is evident to stabilize the situation. The Commonwealth’s battered corps have regrouped around Tulancingo, but they are disorganized, demoralized, and undermanned to a fault, and Archibald Campbell is prevented from reinforcing them due to a protracted battle in Queretaro. Mexico City is already under siege by a small band of monarchist loyalists, and much of the south is properly falling back into the government’s hands. The Mexican Army has even grown so bold that they have begun to assail the fortifications in the north which have been thrown up by Haig and French’s groups, the last combat-effective divisions within Mexico.

Mosley is despondent. “This is my Red Dawn,” he writes in his diary on the morning of the 17th. “There can be no recovery from a defeat of this sort. Losing a war after investing an army of twenty full corps… I am set to one-up Archibald in this. And I wonder what shall happen to me if I do? Will the Commonwealth come to the vicious totalitarian cycle I saw in Archibald’s rule? I hope not, but I fear it. And the worst truth of all is that I have done nothing but make this future for myself, by being so damnably over-confident. Well, if it is my bed, I shall lie in it—and quite probably die in it.”

The rest of the government is not quite so fatalistic as Comrade Mosley, however. Thomas Shaw, for one, sees the possibility of a neutral peace at least being agreed upon if the United Fleet can destroy the Mexican Navy, and orders French forward to occupy the navy’s base at Saltillo. If it can be forced out and destroyed then an immediate demand for peace might be met with tolerance on the part of Maria Josepha, who has been ruling from the hardly idyllic Chihuahua state since the Worker’s Army captured Mexico City.

The successes are far greater than any could possibly have imagined, as Lester Haig, an offensive rather than defensive expert, nevertheless manages to produce the “Miracle at Tepic”: an inflicted casualty ratio higher than 63:1, the highest ratio that the world has ever been able to confirm. With a quarter of a million Mexican men bleeding and dying on the fields of Tepic, a further shock rocks the monarchy less than a week later when French succeeds in forcing the Mexican navy out into Tampico Bay, only to have every vessel be destroyed to the last by the awaiting Admiral Hope.

The victories are more than simply demoralizing for the Mexican state, they are catastrophic. Without the navy there is no ability for Maria Josepha to flee the nation, and with Haig’s incredible victory at Tepic it has been made clear that no Mexican army will ever reach further south to reinforce the armies already there. Although the Commonwealth is yet outnumbered and outgunned, a careful campaign could certainly turn the entire conflict around and secure victory regardless—and even if it failed, it would bleed Mexico so bone-white that it would never recover.

It's hard coded as I have seen. They accept duchy titles.

I tend to give them land on the pagan frontiers and watch them expand. If you aren't using their soldiers they get to use them, which is great.

If I'm going to let nations like Japan beat me legitimately, I'm not just going to roll over without doing the best I can. Although I'll post the usual post-AAR followup where I talk about the campaign and some stuff I've learned and I'll address narrative concerns like this.

V2 is solely a RP game. It's impossible to lose to rebels unless you choose to, and unless your enemy has a 10:1 advantage you can win, provided you stack defense.

That wasn't bullshit, it was literally what happened. They attacked directly into a stack which had 6 dig-in. That's on the AI, not me. I didn't attack them.
