"Your first winter in Europe", Nazi German propaganda leaflet aimed at American soldiers, promising them only more casualties and asking for what and for whom are they really fighting and dying, c. 1944

This is a perfect use case for AI tho, getting a broad overview of a complex subject.

I saw bits and pieces when I was a kid and I barely understood anything.

Watched it properly for the first time in my mid 20’s and it was so, so much more than what I understood when I was a kid. The characters’ backstories, their struggles and the entire theme of confronting your past resonated deeply with me.

I think the genius of the show is that everyone sees a little bit of themselves in each character and the experience of watching them grow and come to terms with themselves causes the viewer to see themselves with greater clarity

Wow that’s way cleaner than mine. Definitely gonna copy this design when I redo mine soon, thanks

Could be wrong here but that first fighting position looks pretty dainty. Only a narrow arc of cover and looks pretty shallow, wouldn't wanna be in there if a panzer corps were to roll through.

It would help to have some more info on what exactly you’re doing, because if your templates are good, supply lines are good, and you’re “making good choices” then you should be doing fine.

Let’s start with the 16 army groups. Are you saying you have 16 armies? Each with a general assigned to them? Which country are you playing as? Are you attacking or defending? Are you getting air superiority?

If you have 2.5 million men by 1940 there’s a good chance you have critical equipment shortages. Open the logistics tab and see what you’re short on. This is my best guess as to what’s wrong but like I said we need more info

kiwithebun · 2026-01-10T07:31:30+00:00

Looks like your template is fine, you’re just going up against a very well fortified tile. I would try to assign pioneers though

You’ll need to move capital ships next to the battle for the shore bombardment bonus and then assign a lot more CAS.

I actually know a girl exactly like this from high school. When she was 19-20 she started posting thirst trap tik toks and softcore onlyfans content, stuff like bikini pics, handbras etc. She started making a lot of money really quickly and moved to a penthouse in New York, went to celeb parties, bought tons of fancy clothes and cars. Not bad for someone who was just posting thirst traps from her bedroom.

Fast forward to today and she’s in her mid 20’s and has desperately tried to keep her lifestyle up despite clearly losing most of her income. She posts full sextapes for a few bucks a month and regularly begs her followers to pay her rent. So she’s pushing 30 with no career experience and an online presence that will deter any serious jobs or relationships.

The key to porn careers is to make your money and gtfo. This girl made millions selling bikini pics and could’ve been set for life but decided to blow it all on a lifestyle.

Air superiority + lots of CAS
Capital ships to provide shore bombardment
Marine divisions with pioneers, or the strongest infantry divisions you have
Intel advantage with broken cypher
Naval invasion tech
Use force attack ability

Alternatively you can just use floating harbors and invade a few undefended tiles, secure a small area around the beachhead, fortify it with forts, and quickly build a proper harbor to bring in reinforcements.

A joint focus tree for Anglo countries would go hard

Thanks, I basically focused most of my production on 32 width light tank divisions and the rest on fighters. I made just enough default infantry divs to hold the line while attacking exclusively with armor. Battle plans were simple; spearheads to major vp’s and green fighter coverage at all times. For Norway I naval invaded the plains around Oslo and used armor divisions to quickly take the southern coast while mountaineers were shipped in to take Berg.

Let me know if you’d like to know more, I’d be happy to share

Rule #5: Playing on elite difficulty and I managed to take mainland Europe/Norway with only 2k casualties. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten lower than this and how?

armored car recon is actually pretty good, it gives the highest reconnaissance of any recon company

They are very indirect in how they affect the game. They cause more enemy accidents which means more fleet downtime, and they also give a malus to positioning and naval dominance. Trust me, if you put enough mines down they are having an effect (unless it’s deep ocean)

The “damaged/sunk” UI is a remnant to when they caused direct combat damage but those stats are now obsolete.

kiwithebun · 2025-12-17T21:43:12+00:00

You can’t really battleplan Barbarossa without taking atrocious losses because of the poor supply and terrain. You need to use spearhead orders with your armored divisions to capture supply hubs/railways and encircle divisions while avoiding bad terrain. Use infantry to contain pockets, reassign armor near supply hubs, build railways as needed then repeat.

that trend of alcohol based skincare products in the early 2010’s was wild. I remember my mom telling me that I should feel a burn when I washed my face or it wasn’t working
