Hi all, a few shots of Hearts of Iron 4 here, which I highly recommend. Somewhat of an AAR I suppose, but more intended to be a glimpse of the game for you. I am very average at this. I dabbled somewhat at HOI3. After 42 hours of HOI4, I still lack confidence.
I shall be New Zealand!
We are very weak - how can I become a powerful empire? I know, I'll become a fascist regime!
Hmmm, I need some resources.
I really do need some resources.
Meet Legion leader John Ormond.He looks the part, and he's the man for the job.
Nothing too complicated.
Some time has passed, and this is the non-historical setting. The Allies seem to have repelled the Nazis, which doesn't bode well for me.
Those Australians are gonna pay! They deserve it ...because ...because they call us 'sheep shaggers' and because they laugh at the way we say 'fush n chups'.
Put THAT on your bbq!
And, after some logistics; they're on their way!
Hitler sends me a telegram from the Argentinian rainforest.
Nationalist Spain likes my style.
About to land on the beaches of New South Wales.
There are no Australians in sight. They must have thought I was joking. But wait, what the heck are my guys doing? I fiddle around and confuse them. lol
And so they try and make sense of it all as the Australian Army homes in.
Shots are fired...
And the battle commences.
Latvia wants in, ha ha.
At about this time I sensed things were going wrong.
I had said no to Latvia, but they were still happy to send a couple of divisions, which have just arrived...
in time to die.
It's going horribly wrong.
Fall back.
20 divisions... lost.
And the Australians lived happily ever after. I don't think I can face continuing this campaign. Thank goodness for 'new game'.
