The Horselords - The great final
Eva: "Adi my dear, you gave order to crush the bolshewiks, remember?"
Adolf:"Yes! Crush them!!"
Eva: "Adi my dear, they didnt show up."
Adolf:"Pardon me?"
Eva:"Yes, our troops are invading soviet union, but there are no bolsheviks!"
And this is what Eva is talking about:
Well several weeks into the campaign, at least SOME Bolshewiks show up:
But Japan is considered a bigger threat by the AI it seems:
Only 4 (four) Months into the campaign:
And only a day later:
This was:
FASTEST BARBAROSSA... EVER!
Some facts:
I opened hostilities versus Sovietunion on 27 January 1940. Moscow was surrounded on 3 March 1940. Bitter Peace Event fired on 10 May 1940.
At the end I had 649 Cavalry Brigades in the East. I lost some, because finland, which is in the allies, encircled some and I didnt interfere, because Armygroup AI pulled of the entire Campaign!
I decided to stop building units after my MP was down to 100. And I even cancelled a batch of cavalry to bring it up to over 300 again. I started improving infrastructure, but the campaign was over too soon, so it was not neccessary.
In the end half Asia, almost entire Europe and half of South Amerika were part of the axis by means of Diplomacy and Conquer.
Difficulty was very hard. I did not reload an earlier game at any time. I did not use any console commands to force diplomacy or events and I did not cheat.
I did accept the deficit trade wishes by all of my allies. I guess japan never payed for the supplies I was sending them.
Japan did a small invasion in northern finland, but never managed to break out of their bridgehead, but were able to hold the bridgehead 4 months.
Great Britain invaded me in France, but French Armygroup AI, equipped with spanish, italian, hungarian and yugoslavian expeditionary forces(~175 brigades) was able to contain the bridgehead.
This was the last episode. I reached all my goals and it was quite fun.
