How to Stop Operation Barbarossa (For Beginners) - HOI4

[ltv]

The actual easiest way to beat germany is to open the console and type annex all

[drunkbulgarian]

Bro created an agency right before getting attacked

[loxzavr]

Yeah, but always keep Kiev under you control, even though it isn't protected by the river. It's a supply hub and they're too precious on eastern front.

Best way:
•Spam 20 width infantry with support arty and engineers.
•Teach the ai the meaning of 10 million manpower.

I usually build lvl 5 forts in Poland (and also max anti air) and in my first try I got the “not one step back” achievement

[epicraptor]

ideally you want to keep kyiv as it's the local supply hub, without it you will have barley any supply in the area while the germans will have perfect

[Simplithstic]

I would also suggest prioritizing anti air

Ive held this line before but it was a couple years ago and the Germans were insane they’d keep crossing the line and I’d have to beat them back over. Then i filled it out with level 10 forts and they just stopped attacking. Suddenly the entire was is a stalemate until Japan defeats the Americans in the pacific and begin invading Africa. I decided I needed to push the Germans back to Berlin so launch a series of counter offensives that only pushed a few states but by this point Germanys offensive abilities couldn’t beat back my units so I slowly advanced to Berlin and the Americans eventually got their shit together and beat Japan

Alternatively, just build a good army. I have never felt the need to fall back to the Stalin line.

You should have annexed the baltics as it gives tons of equipment

[sumbigboi]

I keep dnipetrovsk and kiev under my fallback line and build max forts on them as well as the provinces that arent guarded by a river. Building 4-5 supply hubs in that fallback line is a must. I also set minimal cohesion so a unit near minsk isnt tryna cover for a unit near odessa. Once it has stagnated i just create frontline with minimal cohesion and micro medium tanks throughout railways and supply hubs to encircle and kill them.

[dizzypukas]

You should heavily fortify Kiev, it is a major supply hub as well as an important victory point that controlled quite a few factories and core population

[dolfus]

getting pushed that far back should be an crime, i just halted germans at dnieper-riga and they got like 3m causalities agaist my 2-300k

[weirdland]

Holding the Stalin line is no fun if you want to counter attack. It’s a nightmare, I once lost 27 million men trying to break through it with green air

[JoeWilikers]

You could maybe scorched earth and retreat???

[gold_is_the_best]

everyone gangsta until the germans pull out jet technology II

[Meandmy]

I just did this, but forgot to add logistics. Germany just outnumbered me with the army size, i tried to use more troops but infastructures wasn't enough for more. I tried to push but i got pushed back. 😭😭😭😭😭

[estebanp]

I do the same, I build my defensive line along the dnieper and invade finland as soon as the game starts to avoid fighting on several fronts.
But I don't build forts, instead I build military factories to keep my divisions well supplied and go on the offensive without much trouble.
