HOI III

[Bethor]

quiet funny i was reading up on tactics/strategy for China, and i was doing around half right as described there of it just on my gut feeling. I do think i majorly fucked up the other half. but still not bad for my first serious attempt .
I do know the general idea i had is right, i just need to move it up 2 years before i planned, and not sure if im gonna make it but i'll see. At least i'll have fun loosing (just like in dwarf fortress)

Also major of the wife aggro was averted because i could quit as soon as i did (thanks again for understanding ) And really thought we'd start a later so thats why i wasnt online, will try and be there on time next time, or give a heads-up if i will be later

Hope to get in a few single play games before next week so i can see how it plays, (last time i went to war the Japanese handed me my ass and than some)
Perhaps i can even use the savegame to see if i can change things around as much as i like to get with my new and adjusted plan.

So, time? I'll be good from about 6:30 UK local (so 7:30 EU). Anything earlier is win.

6.30 my time is good, any earlier no

 


no worries mateh

[Warcold]

Oh btw, after you left we found out that countries that are not in a faction get their neutrality lowered by military research. 5% per level afaik. So that's a nice thing to know...

[Bethor]

i'd like to refer to a mail 8 days back



So 20:00 local (19:00 uk, as it was initiated bij Jon) so it wasnt just me even if you use a really big font saf  

Also notice how my mspaintshop skills have improved

edit: so RTFM (and M not manual but mail in this case)

[Warcold]

I never said that was ok, just Jon. So I blame him 

[Bethor]

but as you see there i did say 7:30 was a bad time for me. so yea blaming Jon is good

Using HPP mod too, certainly will be reading that one.

Read it through to the current point, really well done on the authors part.

Also installed the HPP mod (checked a normal startup of HOI3 via steam and it doesnt affect my version. Also it uses a standard HOi3 launcher so I dont need to worry ).

Thought you were using it already 

Anyway, installed it too, havent tried it yet though...
First I will try the noneutrality-cheat, to try Turkey. And yeah I know it has a write-up about it (of which unfortunately most of the pics dont show for me), but Turkey been in my mind as a nice country to try for some time now. But mebbe I gotta finish some other games first...

I removed it when we were having version issues when we originally tried this.

Oh dear guess what im going to be doing till the early hours of the morning when this comes out 

Oi!

You should play this MP with us

[Bethor]

I noticed i keep getting owned by Japan!

i have no idea whats i am doing wrong with ground combat

[Warcold]

Only thing I can come up with (without more info) is that you stack too many units in one province, giving you lots of penalties. I tend to use stacks of 5-6ish units in the frontline and micromanage reinforce/retreat from/to province behind it.
