I am pretty certain that you only loose the achievement if they take control of a state, not just one tile. I got this achievement by attacking poland at the start of the game and puppeting Ukraine and Belarus, than accepting the Baltics in the Commintern. This leaves a tiny border in Romania (and maybe Turkey) and the coast to be defended. By not calling in anybody in the commintern, the Axis can only attack over the large river in Romania, which is very easy to defend. I just sat back and relaxed till 1945, ate away the german air and let the Allies finish them off. They did take a small island in the Arctic sea by naval invading from Norway, but that didn't cancel the achievement as I was still in control of the state on the mainland. A bit cheesy, but it works.

If you take rome on the peace conference you also get the "the pope? how many divisions has he have?" achivement!

15:30 You don't lose them, they change accordingly with your doctrine. E.g.: Tip of the spear (Grand Battleplan) changes to the respective spirit of Mobile Warfare

Warning to everyone:
I made a mistake and declared on germany. This made japan enter the war due to the tripartite pack, taking Vladivostok and making me loose the achievement. Don't make my mistake.

[Iambent]

appreciate you for making this guide! first playthrough with the USSR and was able to push back the axis with ease

Another nice thing under the cominterm section: the focus to buddy with up sinkiang. It unlocks decisions that help them out and give you -1% consumer goods on your 5 year plan spirit (for like -3% in total). After that you use another decision to puppet them.

Something I learned is shift+click the "Divisions waiting to be assigned" button automatically selects all divisions that are not assigned to an army, allowing you to organize within seconds.

I gave up my first run after failling to assasinate Trotsky for the fourth time in a row ...
I had sent enought equipment for a small army and i'm now convinced that my agent worked for Trotsky and was helping him assembling his army.

Regarding supply issues: Prioritise motorised logistical support by pushing twice on the "cavalry button" next to the select all button. Be sure to have enough trucks in store though. Combine this with a logistical genius in the high command, logistical support company, logistical wizard trait on your field marshals and using transport planes as logistic supply then you will never have any issues with supply again!

The AI has been greatly improved, but I swear, if they fix its behavior of smashing its head against the frontlines, things will get handy

42:41 So just wanted to say how crushing of an encirclement that was, a division contains around 6, 000-25, 000 soldiers and that was an encirclement of 51 of them, so the average best outcome would be 306, 000 captured/killed and the average worst would be *1.27 million* soldiers captured/killed. At this point this isn't a war- *it's pest control* .

Also great video as always!

Got these achievements the other day. It took me a couple of tries to understand the focus tree. Thanks for the guides.

“Ahh yes, I’m sure Tukhachevsky will be around for a long time.” *winks at camera*

[Stouzough]

Another great montage, good job. I like the way you cut the war to keep it short, while referring to other videos for content: I think it's smart. We're not all at same level, seeing a pro running through the details is so useful.

One idea: maybe to help, you can make some short tutorial vids about attacking/encircling, spirits, research... and refer to them during your achievement runs?

Anyway I like your stuff the like it is, continue the great work.

[sejimun]

lol that small detail with the peace deal " now you just have to wait for 1945 for the achievment" while the USSR (you) have 1945 points in the peac deal... that is just the icing on the cake XD btw love the video :)

[hzcyd]

I've ran as Soviet for these achievements for a couple of times, they always cede Slovakia to Hungry if the situation is looking bad on them. Naval invade will make Finland you puppet very easily within 2 weeks. Plus, you could rush to Luxembourg before capitulate Germany to get the Race to Germany as well. They always core Loraine and Luxembourg before I can get there...

ps. Could you please make a guide on Tannu Tuva? My only achievement left to be done!!!! The guides on PRDX wiki isn't particularly helpful...

[BlackHammer]

Latest patch finally fixed the Montreux Convention, as Soviets you can now freely use the straits and not worry about you fleet being stuck in the Black sea

[WellHiFellers]

Used this as my guide for my first Hoi4 play through. One of the funnest gaming experiences I have ever had. Thanks for your video

In Spain if you have spam planes at the start of the game, put the tank division on high priority, and focus on producing tanks trucks and infantry equipment, you can send 3 air volunteer squadrons and 6 tank division to Spain. Get Zhukov and any good field marshal you have and focus on encircling Sevilla or just the Southern front general, focus on railroads and supply hubs. Your tanks are OP in Spain and can make encirclements work. Eventually if you have good micro you can win the war in Spain and gain Spain as a puppet
