These are the Military Staff candidates for appointment in France. We don't know what to expect these following months, but we will face it together! Well, not probably, presumably---I haven't tried it. After the defeat of the allied armies in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in 1940 and the British evacuation of their forces from Dunkirk to England, the French front collapsed. In a historical scenario, Italy fulfills a support role to the German Reich, allowing the Axis to contest control of the Mediterranean and North Africa. In terms of technology, France has a good head start on mechanized, motorized and tank forces with only a little catch-up for infantry weapons. But then the turkey player kicked Greece out of faction so the does not end. As Germany take Poland and Czechia (at least that's what I do) , As Italy take like maybe Albania, Greece or Yugoslavia, As Russia DON"T TAKE ANYTHING. ". Thankfully, HOI4 will give. So Im playing as germany and everytime im about to invade a country i justfiy go to declare war and all of a sudden an allied country is guranteeing independence that fast which means i have to back off or start ww2 or even worse. Try to annex all coastal states as the Allies will not annex any states that they cannot reach. Note that Japan invading China increases WT quite a bit so if you are playing historical, plan for that. on Paradox technology, Legal If they opt to encourage non-interference, success will give them a stability boost. They have no access to Oil so they need to import that. On April 1st, 1937, with WT at 28%, well below the 50% threshold for them to autojoin the allies and almost 7 months before they could join by focus.they out of nowhere join the allies, dragging the UK into my war. With Britain at peace, [From.GetLeader] has agreed to the requests by French political parties for the restoration of a provisional French government. Forget the past and look to new horizons. France can form the European Union if Democratic, and if they have , can also form the Kingdom of Franco-Spain if they go Legitimist and Spain also goes Carlist (on historical, the Carlists will almost never spawn if the player is not in charge of Spain and will only spawn on historical if Franco does not secure the North in time; unlike with Spain, France can form the Kingdom of Franco-Spain even if Spain has a different king) - if Spain was to obtain any other cores, France would also gain said cores (Gibraltar if the UK decolonizes or Spain forms Iberia, and any Portuguese cores gained by Spain as a result of forming Iberia - this can include Brazil, Angola, and Mozambique if Portugal was able to core those territories). Has completed focus Invite Communist Ministers Questions, Paradox Good.

However, poor naval infrastructure and low shipbuilding priority means that constructing a large modern fleet is not easy, and in fact can often be counter-productive in that it denies vital raw materials from tank and motorized production. This Franco-British Union will continue the fight against the Germans until victory is achieved. Disjointed Government, Political Violence and Inefficient Economy can possibly be removed by completing National Focuses in the Popular Front/National Bloc branch. If the UK supports France, France (and any puppets France has at the time) will join the Allies, and if the Germans refuse to back down, when France goes to war, a civil war will break out. Once Vichy France completes the tree, however, it will switch over to the regular French national focus tree (with the National Regeneration path unlocked). Germany lost i got 2/3 of Austria and then the Allies went to greece and Turkey to kill them. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). Vichy France, has a unique national focus tree as part of La Rsistance. Both countries will load up a new National Focus Tree. Eventually I got dragged completely into the War and now Half of Europe, Japan, some of India, the USA, and a few more is at war with the UK (now commie), USSR, Yugoslavia (Tito got stomped already), Australia, etc., etc., etc.. Germany heads the axis so I doubt that they could join the allies.

However, around a year later, in 1940, when actual combat ensued between all three powers, the Allied armies were defeated in just six weeks during the Battle of France against Germany and Italy, in contrast to the years-long campaign expectation by both sides. Japan and other Asian countries asked to join my faction and join the war which helped since it caused russia to stack some of their forces on their eastrn front which helped my war with them even more. Note that one can spawn Carlist Spain on Historical if certain conditions are met (while this won't allow you to gain Brazilian Cores, you can still gain cores on all of Iberia if Spain forms that nation) - as soon as the Spanish Civil War begins, start Intervention in the Spanish Civil War and rush the decision for Volunteers. While still a major industrialized country, France has been left behind in terms of concentration of production capabilities. The UK and France will start guaranteeing independence at WT 25%. As a polish puppet the soviet player asked if I was a puppet. At world tension above 50% you can expect any nation you attack to always seek to join a faction of the same ideology OR willing to go at war with you, if one exists. Just hold the magniot line and invade france trough Italy or go after Benelux. Alternatively, if France is Democratic and aligned with the UK (the UK can be any ideology), they can instead propose joining the two countries in the Franco-British Union - this decision will end the game for the French Player if the UK accepts, but in return, the British player will gain all existing French cores (this can include any gained through other methods), all French Units, Ships, Generals, Admirals, and equipment; while the Union can remain afterwards if the British player opts not to let France go independent when the Union is at peace, they will lose all French cores and generals/admirals if they choose to do so. Their political integration has been halted, but no doubt the nations will continue to be close friends in the future. My prosecution of the war went no different, if slower but still well ahead of the "Go with Britain" focus. This will greatly reduce the output of our factories and is viewed as a victory for [Root.GetCommunistParty]. France has access to huge amounts of Steel and Aluminum. The French military completely disintegrated and the French government agreed to an armistice on the 25th of Juneeffectively surrendering the whole countryin a defeat which caused great astonishment to the rest of the world, as up until that point, France was a leading world power (both economically and militarily) that only 20 years earlier had won the Great War. But that also depends on world tension and the situation of the game. If Germany does back down in response to either instance, not only will the Rhineland remain demilitarized, but it will also give them a negative debuff that will lock off Anschluss for 1 year (additionally, when Germany does go to war, this will mean that the Rhineland will be unprotected by German troops for a while). I go after a country then immediatly after I declare war they join the comminterm and now im at war with russia and then I get instantly rekt. You need to have a high war score in order to pull off this strategy. If we get Turkey to cap the game would be over. We are in the enviable position of having very low unemployment, partially because of the massive bloodshed of the Great War. #1 RagTagPig Aug 19, 2017 @ 8:32pm ohhhh I didnt know that about how theyll join an opposing faction. The minute they finished the great purge I declared war since it gives them organization.

As Fascist France or Vichy France, occupy all of Great Britain. So I embarked on a five year mission of destroying every allied nation. However, if Germany has restored the Kaiser, they will instead establish Bourbon France, although unlike what happens if France manually restores the monarchy, this Bourbon France will not have a king in charge (France will also become Bourbon France if they become a puppet of a non-aligned government). How should we respond? In the spirit of the Entente Cordiale, we are proud to welcome you not only as friends, but as Allies. I just want to write down what happened to my first game. Any time a country that is part of a faction attacks another country, the defending country will join an opposing faction. To the south lies the Pyrenees mountains which separate France from Spain. However, Yugoslavia is one of the three pillars on which the Eastern European settlement is built. ohhhh I didnt know that about how theyll join an opposing faction. Starting off with only one province, it is the tiniest nation in the game. After my last Vichy post Spain (Who was in the allies) had the bright idea of declaring war on me. Eventually they couldnt hold up and capitulated I had enough victory points to take most of th esoviet union japan got some of the eastrn side of russia but I got 85% of russia. Wait for Germany to capitulate all the minors on the mainland before justifying on an axis member and joining the war. I got pissed and console annexed the UK. If it weakens then France's security will suffer. Germany has earned our trust in the honoring of our Naval Pact, and while we will defend ourselves should the fires spread we will not risk fanning the flames. Whilst the Marine Nationale is strong enough to decisively defeat either the Kriegsmarine or the Regia Marina alone, it would have no chance against a combined Axis fleet. We have signed the London Naval Treaty and accordingly are restricted in the size of our capital ships. The only thing I did differently was I tried out superior firepower and all leg infantry rather than mobile warfare and tanks. on Paradox technology, Legal Albania Austria Belgium Bulgaria Czechoslovakia Denmark Estonia Finland France Free France Vichy France German Reich Kingdom of Greece Kingdom of Hungary Ireland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Nationalist Spain Republican Spain Romania Slovakia Soviet Union Sweden Switzerland Turkey Republic of Ukraine United Kingdom Yugoslavia, Dominion of Canada Costa Rica Cuba Dominican Republic El Salvador Guatemala Haiti Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Panama United States, Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Paraguay Peru Uruguay Venezuela, Afghanistan Bhutan British Malaya British Raj China Communist China Dutch East Indies Guangxi Clique Iran Iraq Japan Manchukuo Mengkukuo Mongolia Nepal Oman Philippines Saudi Arabia Shanxi Siam Sinkiang Tannu Tuva Tibet Xibei San Ma Yemen Yunnan, Angola Sultanate of Aussa Botswana Kingdom of Egypt Ethiopia Liberia South Africa, Australia Melanesian Federation New Zealand Tahiti. With the regime in Berlin ratcheting up the tension over the border between them and Yugoslavia, the British have made the decision to stand against German aggression. Once the war starts its important to deny military access to all other belligerents and rack up massive war score on your own. Having fortified the border gives France the opportunity to plan and prepare carefully, but it does sacrifice some flexibility in the event of something unexpected. Then WW2 kicked off Poland-Romania did not accept the ultimatum, the Germany player was kind of angry about it but in a civilised manner. Regardless of what Vichy France gets, it will usually only be left with a few leftover fragments of the previous french military and will thus have to rebuild it. However, not all Non-Aligned paths are monarchies - for example Poland has 3 authoritarian non-aligned paths and 4 monarchist non-aligned paths, while Spain has an anarchist non-aligned path and a monarchist non-aligned path. Extending the draft would only exaberate the problem. Even now, a new joint government is being formed in London. Gets event Protests descend into violence, Has completed focus Confirm Eastern Commitments While weakened, if properly played, Vichy France is still capable of digging itself out of this morass and then either joining the Axis as an equal to Germany after asking them to end the occupation, defecting to the Allies and uniting with Free France, or taking a third option and regaining their honor by defeating Germany by themselves.

The german player annexed Austria and i asked him that will he attack me. That would either be when world tension is too low (below 25% democracies cannot guarantee), or when they have too many guarantees already (each guarantee costs 25PP more than the last, so if you trick them into guaranteeing many nations it'll become harder and costlier for them to guarantee even more). It also allows Poland to gain colonial holdings in Liberia or Madagascar. If a nation is being justified upon, the allies AI will try to lay a guarantee on it if it can.
