When reading this AAR, text that is bold and white represent instructions for those following along to execute. If an option is doctrinally correct and not "gamey," we will follow that option. Spectators are also encouraged to voice their opinions for what they believe are the best options for certain situations. If anything I mention during the course of this AAR is different in the Armageddon version, I encourage spectators to mention it and I will edit my posts to note the differences. I am playing with Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday, with patch 1.3a (JCJS). We will not do that here, because advanced players also know that easy victories do not necessarily make for fun games. Advanced players know that late into the invasion of the Soviet Union panzers can be sent forward to quickly seize Sverdlovsk. Advanced players know that it is better to attack as early as possible with Germany, and that it is better to build a carrier navy or surface ship navy. Meanwhile, we will concentrate on a U-boat navy until we can subdue the Soviets. Our panzers will not outrun the infantry by more than what the next encirclement requires. ![]() That invasion will consist of small encirclements by our mobile forces, with infantry reducing those pockets. We will attack Greece and Yugoslavia after that, and invade the Soviet Union in the spring of 1941. Our invasion of France will be through the Ardennes region (Luxembourg, Bastogne, and Liege) and we will try to "sickle cut" Allied forces in Belgium. We will also invade Denmark and Norway when the appropriate event fires. ![]() We will conduct a traditional invasion of Poland in September 1939, and wait to attack France and the Low Countries until May 1940. We will try to forge alliances with the traditional Axis powers. We will allow the game to be event-driven up until the invasion of Poland. Our goals will be simple and largely historical. By the time a novice finishes reading this, he will have a firm grasp of the game dynamic and will be able to conduct his own campaigns with any country.įor the purposes of this tutorial, we will play as Germany in the 1936 scenario, with normal difficulty and normal aggressiveness. We will start with the simple building blocks of getting started, and progress with baby steps toward the more advanced concepts of the game. This AAR is designed to be a tutorial for novice players, and will demonstrate all the steps to a successful campaign from beginning to end. Welcome to the "How the heck do you play this game?!" AAR.
