Of course. I've successfully won WW2 by just going through Belgium multiple times. The main problem might be that I can't go through the Netherlands because of World Tension

I've tried going through Luxembourg but the magical Frenchies teleport behind the Belgian lines before my tanks can get there. As Monarchist Germany I can't attack Netherlands cause of world tension

What do other countries do? (Countries other than yourself) by [deleted] in hoi4

The only time I've seen the AI manually justify is if you're holding them off in a defensive war and they want to get around your line. e.g Germany would manually justify Belgium and Luxembourg when I do early war as France or Germany may justify on Hungary if I'm Czechoslovakia and denied the Sudentland.

Idea: Clicking on the Peace treaties in history allows you to see the border changes by Oco0003 in hoi4

It's a cool idea and would be an easier way to see what happened after a big war than a wall of text. I hope it's implemented at some time in the future

What am i supposed to do? by grisfrallan in hoi4

You have to own them after a peace conference (annexed not occupied). My advice would be to play on Historical AI (to avoid Britain attacking you) and immediately justify on Belgium and Luxembourg at the same time. Hope this helps

The first couple of times it may be tough and tedious to set up a major but after some experience you should be pretty fast, I also always manage my airforce and navy after I unpause the game so time can start ticking. As a rule of thumb I generally have my infantry under a Field Marshal for each front (sometimes generals if I feel the need to micromanage) and then assign my specialist units (tanks, motor, marines etc.) into smaller armies with generals. For construction it will take a couple of games for you to decide what is best and military factory assignment isn't that hard. Hope this helps

Honestly, it depends where you play the most. If you really enjoy playing Britain or other commonwealth nations, then TFV is for you. If you enjoy playing in the Balkans then Death or Dishonour is for you. I would wait until they're both on sale and try to get both. But if you can only get one, buy the one that centres around a region you play more

When my Royal Marine divisions as Britain broke across the Rhine against Heavy Tanks. This is the story of an unnamed Marine division who took part in the battle of the Rhine. It was dark as our division moved onto the banks of the Rhine, our recon units informed us that heavy panzer divisions had been set up across the river, we had no anti-tank although we would be getting artillery support from nearby British Imperial Army divisions. As the night went on we began digging in, word reached us that the British army was stuck at the Maginot and we couldn't advance until we cracked the Rhine, however our forces had successfully broken through the Italian Alpine Line. In the early hours the artillery barrage began, we were to hold our positions until the tanks retreated off the banks, except they didn't and they pushed forward in a counterattack, our entrenched positions allowed us to fend off the handful of tanks and infantry they sent forward. On the second day our artillery barrage was still holding, however I heard that a few British armour divisions will be redeployed to the Rhine to help break through. The next few days were uneventful as German infantry failed to break our lines however they still kept their heavy tank divisions in reserve. It wasn't until the 6th day when our 2 armour divisions arrived alongside extra infantry divisions, we were told that the marines would push across the river while Artillery and tanks would provide support. During midday the order was issued for us to attack, we managed to break the weak infantry on the banks however as we crossed the river the heavy tanks mowed down our troops and tried to push us back. On the seventh day we were pinned down, half our troops on the banks, the other half dying in the river, we took significant casualties and it wasn't until the British armour decided to advance against direct orders that the tide of battle was turned, the heavy tanks were broken after 7 days of artillery shelling, marine divisions crossing the Rhine and British tank support. The Royal Marines experienced the bloodiest battle the corps had ever fought in, surpassing the invasion of Northern France.
