28:35 "Munich has fallen" - captures Nürnberg

[PraiseKéké]

Really went for the accurate french WW1 experience again

[katieheys]

I still like the French focus tree to this day. It's just a lot of interesting things. A shame that despite the units available they always just crumble under AI control.

[DrewPicklesTheDark]

The "How Germany could have won WW2" fan vs. the "How France could have defeated Germany in 1941" enjoyer.

25:51 Actually it's only a visual glitch. Only the division selecter has the actual last stand. Other divisions just have the icon, but not the benefits

[paulbenichou]

- Me plays as France (no dlc) does the absolute best to defeat Germany. Proceeds to get hammered and lose
- Feedbackgaming takes absurd strategy, and wins.
Me raging

Wow Dave, you made border gore. Congratulations.

[BaguetteSoldier]

The French Colossus...has been underestimated by us...whenever a dozen divisions are destroyed the French replace them with another dozen.

[Devilwalkerinho]

Basically paid right now the membership for watching this MASS

[drblitz]

36:10 if player controls any core Italian state, Regno del Sud will be player's every time

[murbed.]

39:06 Ukraine does own that piece of land in the modern day

[liasonlee]

actually, mass assault doctrine is more common in trench warfare during WW1, most people still perceive "a lot of people" in the frontlines as mass assault because they never experienced or study any real footages of conflicts, modern warfare is about holding large area of ground as every single inch of ground could be strategic points with our modern weaponries and existing facilities.

so when a country is being salty about their opponents using mass assault, it should also mean that they themselves lack the ability to defend large area of land, and their opponents are just in fact using a classic tactics of pincer attacks.

Since Vietnam is your rubber producer, might be better to up their occupation law to produce more of the resource. It has high enough compliance at the start.

[IceKnight]

Human wave assault actually make you lose less manpower

[TheOutslav]

Democratic Germany suddenly joining Comintern was definitely... a moment.

[evenmorecheese]

The way you just wasted the French industrial tree makes me irrationally angry.

[flickerdart]

If you're not running a focus anyway, take the continuous focus Construction Repair to fix the busted railways faster

[SapFeaRon]

popular by soviet union? yeah right, Soviet Union in game terms used Mobile Warfare and it's been discussed million times on paradox plaza. Devs just felt like ignoring history in favor of i dunno, memes?
That being said, Mass assault is surprisingly strong if you go for right path to get even more manpower - both in MP and SP.

[arjunamirzada]

imagine the french charging at the germans with just a baguette in they're hands

[patricksimpson]

Do spies gain traits like generals? i.e. the more traits the less the xp gain? Just something I've wondered while playing.
