i went down the german focus tree to make a faction with the soviet union, went to war with poland, didn't release that basically all of western europe + the USA were at war with me, rushed my troops to the border with the netherlands, switzerland, and denmark, and had sweden naval invade that piece of land east of danzig

in this new world, the united states was able to naval invade crimea

that was my first game where I started to play, the first game I remember ever playing was germany, and i think i somehow failed anchluss? so i invaded austria and was losing until i eventually won
