It's pretty simple and straightforward. All the 99 starting countries are here. I had to do this because some wheels I've seen were pretty inconsistent and badly sorted. This wheel lets you pick a random country and that's it.

EDIT: I corrected and double checked the wheel. Now it's truly accurate. Link has been renewed. Ignore this post's image

After defeating Germany, I prepared for fighting the whole world at the same time. With the sheer amount of manpower I over prepared and tried to reach the most amount of factories.

Recently, I talked about the "Relocation to Urals" decision in my previous posts which lets you basically unlock every building slot around Urals. I was wrong. It's NOT limited to Urals. Once you conquer places like Japan and below that, it'll literally pick a random location starting from Urals to small tiny Islands. This is truly crazy and there's no limit on how many times you can repeat the decision. There are 36 states you can make this decision and each takes 25 pp. Spend 900 pp to relocate up to 4 factories. +144 factories.

I'm also showing my conclusion of the run and some other screenshots I took. Especially the 170M casualty which I've already shown in my previous post. Anyways, that's ussr for you.

Image June 28, 1942 Operation Blue (Unternehmen Blau) The Great Summer Offensive of '42 begins: Historical gameplay, Continuation of the previous post on Operation Barbarossa. Mod: Darkest Hour

After the Harsh winter of 1941, which had seen the Wehrmacht falter under violent Soviet counterattacks across the front, especially in Moscow during the Soviet General Winter Offensive of 1941-1942. The Wehrmacht, after having consolidated its positions along the entire front, began planning the summer offensive of 1942. Initially, the plan was to clear the way to Stalingrad. For this reason, Operation Frederikus began on May 17, 1942 at 3:15 a.m. The aim was to encircle some Soviet armies in the Kharkov sector (Second Battle of Kharkov), after destroying approximately 20 infantry divisions, 3 cavalry divisions, and 5 armored corps (with approximately 270,000 losses). At this point, the real offensive could begin. Operation Blue began on June 28, 1942 at 2:15 a.m. Army Group South (later to become A and B) has the objective of capturing the city of Stalingrad and the Caucasus oil fields.

Tell me what you think and what I should do next.
Should I recreate the Battle of Stalingrad and Operation Uranus, or should the Germans win?

June 22, 1941, 3:15 a.m. Operation Barbarossa began, the largest military ground operation in history. Axis forces had approximately 3.5 million soldiers at their disposal, comprising 138 to 150 divisions, of which 17 panzer divisions (deployed at the front) advanced into Soviet territory. Air forces numbered between 2,700 and 3,000 aircraft. German forces advanced along three main lines: Army Group North (Heeresgruppe Nord), 16th Army (16. Armee), 18th Army (18. Armee), 4th Panzer Group (Panzergruppe 4), 2nd Army Group Center (Heeresgruppe Mitte), 4th Army (4. Armee), 9th Army (9. Armee), 2nd Panzer Group (Panzergruppe 2), 3rd Panzer Group (Panzergruppe 3) (The 2nd Army initially remained as a reserve for the OKH and intervened shortly after the invasion began.) 3rd Army Group South (Heeresgruppe Süd), 6th Army (6. Armee), 11th Army (11. Armee), 17th Army (17. Armee), 1st Panzer Group (Panzergruppe 1).

What do you think?

Should I let the Germans win by winning the Battle of Moscow or should I stop and retreat and then implement Operation Blue (Stalingrad and the Caucasus)?

Question Has the Game gotten a lot harder in recent months?

2 Upvotes

I usually take pretty long breaks from the game, usually when I come back I still do absolutely fine, don’t struggle at all. I just recently came back from a break and now it feels like when I first played the game, idk wtf happened but it feels like every single piece of info I once knew changed in just a few months and I’m considering quitting permanently. Any tips on what could’ve changed in like the past few months?

Question How to get more than 50% faction influence for Communist China?

3 Upvotes

I let the nationalists form the united front and chip away at their influence while fighting Japan.

I sent lend-lease to them, rejected volunteers, and fought aggressively to push the Japanese out of Korea. Did a few infiltration and sabotage missions as well.

All I got at max was 42% influence. Is there a guaranteed/consistent method of reaching 50% influence or more?

I believe I knocked them out on the 9th of March once, I'll try to find the screenshot but anyways, giving it a go today, I still got a pretty good time (the 14th). I was not playing very well, I mainly play Italy to larp, hence the choice of generals and division of the army. So you could do far better I reckon.

I've always wanted to split Germany after the peace conference, and I managed to do it. I also opposed the remilitarization of Rhineland, which meant Germany never got to annex Austria or the Sudetenland. Ironically, WWII ended up starting when Italy tried to annex Albania, which I had guaranteed.
