We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups promising MP, be sure it's a shit group known for organizing raids and posting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging. Report and ignore it.
How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, December 23rd: 558 – Chlothar I is crowned King of the Franks. 962 – Arab–Byzantine wars: Under the future Emperor Nicephorus Phocas, Byzantine troops storm the city of Aleppo. 1970 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo officially becomes a one-party state. 1990 – History of Slovenia: In a referendum, 88.5% of Slovenia's overall electorate vote for independence from Yugoslavia.
I'm going to bed. If this thread is gone or has less posts than the shitposting thread when I get up I am going to be mildly upset.

I do not even know what I'm doing wrong. I understand how frontage and battle width works, I know to avoid stacking penalties, so what am I even doing wrong?

Republic, for dem immigrants

Pls respond. I wondered if perhaps the problem was a technology gap, but it's fucking Bulgaria. Yuguslavia can't really be that much behind in tech, right? Especially since all my infantry techs are up to date (1938).
Andrew Brown
The bonuses are still the same, it's just that if I pick Republic, I get Liberty as my national value and I tag swap, whereas if I stay as Confederation, it's the same and I can get some prestige.
Does the Argentinian Republic get more decisions/events?

You are supposed to play Germany in your first game. There are like a hundred modifiers that go into combat resolution.
Anthony Clark
Post screens of what you are doing if you want help.

You literally can't be a babby at HoI4. The game doesn't let you.

>You are supposed to play Germany in your first game. But their army is too big and unwieldy for a babby. I picked Yugoslavia (on the advice of another user) because it's small and managable while still having targets for conquest nearby.
This is what I was doing when I was about to get my ass kicked. Hope it helps.

For added explanation: I tried to encircle Sofya, took the province north of Sofya but couldn't complete the encirclement. Then I used attacks + support attacks to attack Sofya from all sides, and only had a 30% chance or so of winning. I cancelled the attack and then their troops suddenly start kicking mine and driving me back.
I should on paper be able to win this war, right? Then what's going wrong?
Samuel Long
>But their army is too big and unwieldy for a babby That's the point. They have such a good army that you have a lot of leeway and can afford to play far less optimally. I jumped into HoI3 having only read finnbro's guides and playing Germany on my first go was perfect for learning the game.
>I cancelled the attack and then their troops suddenly start kicking mine and driving me back. Your units took a org hit for losing the battle when you canceled the attack and lost their dig in bonus so in the counter attack you had only the terrain defensive bonus with no organisation.
Urban terrain is the hardest to attack as it provides immense defensive modifiers. To take Sofia you are probably going to have to retreat and regain organisation and then fully encircle the city, pulling those two Northernmost divisons around and leaving those provinces unguarded. If the Bulgarians push in you will be able to cut them off and destroy them once Sofia is dealt with. That will still be difficult though given the urban terrain and I think as their capital it locally produces supply too.
I would really like to stress that playing Germany would be far better for obtaining and understanding of this game and having fun.

Literally epic Why do we always have two different /gsg/ threads these days?
Logan Anderson
Thanks bro. I think I'm going to try what you suggested for Bulgaria, and if that doesn't work out I'll play Germany as you suggested.
Even if I fail at taking Bulgaria, I think my Yugoslavia campaign was fruitful enough in teaching me what needed to be taught.
