"Alliance with the USSR" is pretty good I think if you wanna play multiplayer with your friend who's new to the game. Assuming you have one of those.

The worst Germany tree is doing the Kaiserreich path, but then taking U-Boat effort or Plan Z. Because that then actually locks you out of both the “alliance with the British” and “reform the central powers” branches, and all you get are some research bonuses. As all 4 branches are mutually exclusive to one another for some reason

9:21 „Thankfully Stalin always has troops ready to go into hungary“ 💀

[mtthew]

i just had a dream where you decided to play every releasable nation in africa A to Z and you started with albania for dream reasons, please make my dream real

I love how Hitler just casually puts Ernst Thälmann as one of his Advisors

[Batdude]

Imagine being a Spanish Fascist or Communist in the civil war that turned into a world war where the Communists are allied to the Capitalists while Franco's Fascists are on the side of the Soviet Union and Communist Germany.

[ertrick]

So the funny thing about this focus is that it adds a modifier that makes the Soviet Union accepting of fascist diplomacy which can only be removed if they deny the alliance initially... so even if they're kicked from the faction, they keep it, which is why they joined Japan, lmao

When I was new to HOI4 this was my first campaign, I remember it being fun

[huni]

Who said there wasn't a communist Germany path

I feel like alliance with the ussr was made as a sort of "Easy mode" as it allows you to focus solely on the democratic allies while also giving you a massive ally in the USSR.

[pekaman]

I did the unholy alliance like 3 times, all 3 times while i was learning the game, the soviets kept me nice and safe while i figured stuff out and i did not need to stress about barbarosa

[casey]

I want ISP to whisper "gravy timmy" in my ear while i sleep

[SpicyFiur]

Soviets and the US shared the same fate. US in Alaska and the Soviets left to them. At 13:34

[PerunsZGRevenge]

Oh man, this is the first focus with which I utterly won the war with Germany. Makes the game piss easy.
Cancelling the friendship with Benito and Franco to be friends with Stalin is a pretty good trade off. I actually did it much later and never flipped to communism.
8:00 Also they tend to do that either way when world tension hits boiling points.

YOU NEEDED TO TAKE THAT FRENCH LAND AT LEAST SOME OF IT, AT LEAST THAT ONE MAGINOT STATE

[koperekhabsburdzki]

From alt-hist/lore perspective, the Berlin-Moscow axis could be soo much fun and even bigger from gameplay perspective: For players playing Russia/German it could be intresting take, maybe a little easier campaign, but for everybody else the biggest threat and challenging campinage. If only this tree was properly developed...

[keizervanenerc]

I really liked Focus Pokus as a series title.

14:05 Hardest laugh I ever had was when he realized China took catholic Mexico

[liljimmy]

14:10 “I gotta Mexican friend named Chinese Mike”

[GrantelHerbert]

Jokes on you. The alliance with the soviets saved my game once. I was surrounded on all sites and hat no allies. So I did that and the red army killed like everything and freed me.
