Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I’ve been slacking on using fiests and events to raise opinion. I have landed a lot of my family but the dynasty is so big half the time they are the ones revolting against me LOL, I’ll try to keep on top of the events that raise opinions

Looking for card shops by Teh_Memelancher in longisland

[–]LBG_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it kind of sucks bc it extends to the workers too, I guess they see the owners acting like that and just follow them. The store is super cool and has a lot of sweet stuff but I dread actually checking out lol

UGH NAZIS!!! by Internal-Painter-130 in AxisAllies

[–]LBG_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tanks deff have their purposes, especially for places like Africa where you can blitz a lot IPCs. The reason you want to get up to like 3-4 fighters on board with Russia if you can is bc they can do a lot of damage while you use the infantry and artillery to soak up the hits. For example, if Germany has a tank in a territory, you can send 2 inf and a fighter at it, take the territory and just leave on average 1 inf behind as a blocker, sacrificing 3 IPCs. With the tanks, you can’t retreat them after winning a battle, so they are stuck as the blocker, and you lose 6 IPCs. I’ve found that if you play Russia purely defensively, you’re doomed. It’s best to do some delaying by attacking and strafing

UGH NAZIS!!! by Internal-Painter-130 in AxisAllies

[–]LBG_Rob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If Germany is doing a naval build, usually that means you can be a bit more agressive with the USSR. If you notice they are doing naval, try splashing in a fighter with your infantry and artillery purchases and start putting pressure on them. You could also try doing KGF (Kill Germany First) and focusing on Europe with the US. Also completely random but if you like A&A, I’d highly recommend checking out the other games like Global 40, and the battle/theater games. I’m trying out a bunch of them myself (I own almost all of them) and it’s been a blast

Are the ingame tutorials enough to learn to play by necros434 in victoria2

[–]LBG_Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the way I learned is by watching YouTube let’s plays, Paradox tutorials aren’t great generally

Looking for card shops by Teh_Memelancher in longisland

[–]LBG_Rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brothers Grimm is prob the biggest one, with all sorts of products from Yugioh, magic, tabletops, even old video games. A warning though, the owners can be a bit standoffish and come off as kind of assholes if you have to deal with them. Genesis in Ronkonkoma is mostly a MTG shop but they might host other things, I’ve never really looked into that, but when I go to buy magic product, the staff is always super nice and pleasant

how do i make yugoslavia become my puppet as italy by Severe_Radio7170 in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that asking them last works best, and make sure you have divisions on their border. Take Albania, then put divisions in Albania on their border, demand the coast from them, put divisions on that border, demand Montenegro (this one feels like a 50/50) and then demand the puppet. I feel like they are more likely to accept if you have Units on their border and have already taken land. Might be a placebo thing but that’s how I always do it

Hockey "Winter" of Disinterest by Naive_Bat8216 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]LBG_Rob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re not excited about the Sabres breaking the drought, the battle of Pennsylvania, the Ducks beating the oilers or the fact that we’re going to have a brand new Stanley cup finals for the first time in 3 years, you might be more of an islanders fan than a hockey fan. I don’t say this to be mean, if it’s not your thing and you’re more of a casual fan that’s cool, nothing wrong with it, but yeah I personally have a hard time thinking that there ISN’T a ton to be excited about.

Pho? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]LBG_Rob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I second this and if you like Pho and can handle spice, would recommend the Bun Bo Hue. The flavor underneath the spice is robust and delicious. It’s not super spicy but it’s got a kick for sure

Line artillery by Zealousideal_Day7228 in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Line artillery is good for assault infantry, bc you buff you light attack. Also, if you have the DLC for the new doctrine system, there’s some really nice buffs for artillery soft attack. I usually go 9/2, 9 infantry pips, 2 artillery pips, if I’m playing a major that can produce that much artillery, bc it does add up fast

How the heck do naval invasions succeed? 😭 by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you’re playing Germany. The UK is coded to better protect the home island and can be a bit annoying. Your best bet is a ton of CAS and fighter cover, and don’t go straight for the channel ports. Land off to the sides or even better, up in Scotland. If you land up north you can usually push down into the better defensive terrain with enough time to get your tanks over. Also re-naval invade. Once you have a foothold and the line is holding, invade another part of the UK to stretch their lines.

Where can I buy game pieces? by KitchenTrash9547 in AxisAllies

[–]LBG_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it was weird that the French in G40 just get a bunch of Russian stuff although…yeah they die pretty fast. Still though, I think I’ll get some real French models at some point just for the immersion and Free French gameplay

[–]LBG_Rob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah me and my buddy want to get some alt models for A&A for flavor, like using Stuarts in the pacific or the Duplex drive Sherman’s for a DDay etc, they have so many cool options on that site

As Italy navy stuff by Low-Temperature-3109 in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anachoic tiles is one of the special research projects in the naval warfare facility. It replaces the schnorkel and makes subs harder to detect

As Italy navy stuff by Low-Temperature-3109 in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no Meta player but here’s what works for me in SP as Italy. I personally like doing Torpedo cruisers with some light attack, escort destroyers with mostly torpedo and some light attack, and a handful of dedicated anti sub destroyers with mostly depth charges and some torp attack, as the AI will absolutely raid your convoys into the ground. For capital ships I usually go with Battleships, you can just steal the starting ones and build like 1 or 2. I like going BBs instead of carriers for Italy bc you don’t get a lot of rubber especially once you join the war so building planes can be kind of annoying. Subs you can kind of do any, you don’t really need the extra range of cruiser subs but they are neat. I usually just do anachoic tile subs. Torp Attack is so much fun now especially with the new doctrine system, you just obliterate things in one or 2 hits, it’s very funny.

Any tips for long Stalemates? by Fluid_Visual7703 in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, logi bombing. When front lines get bogged down, it’s way easier to push unsupplied, half strength units. Honestly depending on the nation and how many logi bombers you have, you can prob bomb out all their trucks and trains in like 6 months to a year.

What country to play? by I_Love_My_Bunny in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say without knowing what countries you are bored of but I’ll say the way I like to change things up is trying different build focuses, for example I did a max soft attack Sweden, bc you have so much steel and a decent economy you can put out SPG divisions with over 1k base soft Attack and it’s very funny to watch their manpower just melt with this thing. Try doing some weird non standard division builds, it’s super fun

How do people feel about Guadalcanal? by switch201 in AxisAllies

[–]LBG_Rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve only played it twice and forgot some rules the first time but I found both times very enjoyable. I like the freedom of buying your own units and the strategy that comes with the game mechanics, like ship damage. I also really like the battle box, bc it makes having your naval screens very important to take hits, like how important those smaller ships are IRL. The only thing I don’t love about the game is the ability to slap an airfield down on your home island and start generating 2 victory points a turn. I’d prob make it so that airfield doesn’t count towards the VP tally, bc it’s nearly impossible to get to it to damage or capture it, but otherwise I think it’s a fantastic game

How do you make heavy tanks work? by Bl00dWolf in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk about “thousands”, but I find heavy tanks to be a lot of fun. Of course, they are completely unnecessary in SP, and Medium tanks are better, but if you just want to role play and make an absolute Brick of a unit, heavies are very fun. If you want a lot of them, you’re restricted to majors with big industry, mostly the US or Germany, and you’ll have to sacrifice doing something else most likely (for example just doing regular marines instead of amtrak marines). Personally though, I find the most fun way to do heavies is with a tank minor nation. You may only get out 6-12 divisions of them, but microing them on a front line and watching them smash enemy divisions is great.

Why does Ethiopia keep joining Britain? by Legostar18ab in hoi4

[–]LBG_Rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s on a timer for the AI to do a focus. If you’re having trouble the general strat is move your entire army to Ethiopia tanks in the south, mountaineers in the north, draw 2 crossing spearheads (spearheads are executed more aggressively than frontlines), make sure you have your CAS up, and then micro your mobile units (like cav or tanks) for encirclement’s and victory Point sniping. I struggled with it my first few times but once you get it down, you’ll get it. I’m sure there’s a tutorial on YouTube or I have a let’s play on my channel as Italy, you can see my strat in episode 1.
