Good evening Veeky Forums

time for BASED FASCIST KEBAB REMOVAL XDDD

do i take the whole levant in the next war as greek living space

Anatolia belongs to Greece and Greece only

Greece retaking Byzantium (the city) in V2 is about as plausible as grossgermaniums blobbing all across Europe.

So very plausible you colossal faggot

t. grossgermaniums PRO

...

yes, exactly what i was going for actually

My son is the king of Leon and we share the same heir. Should i kill him before he has offspring? is there any other way to unify our kingdoms?

It's worth a shot

>serbia holds macedonia
Nice failure blob.

GL trying to plot against other king realm. The only viable solution that I see is killing your brother so your son will be your new heir.

Everybody knows Germany only lost WW2 due to Italian incompetence, and if it was Germany v all they would have won.

But why did thry lose WW1?

Haven't played CK2 in a long time, I'm doing an irish conquest of Britannia and just got half of Andalusia in a Crusade.

What should I do? Grant land to the pope or the holy orders? I don't want to blob into hispania

Holy orders, fuck the Pope.

too late

I'm already the father of the year

That sure worked out great in real life

What happened to fascism with the emperor?

Man, I feel old.
Remember Kojak, anyone?

no but i got here as the references to him were still ongoing
My understanding is he was an MP fag who had John Cena as his avatar.

That's about right. Fuck, time flies when you're white and based.

does tuscany ever get absorbed? it seems to take longer than the others.

Lost the elections. The conservative party is pretty good though.
an MP fag who had John Cena as his avatar, practiced zumba daily and sold shoes for a living, yes.

>Lost the elections.
>not simply reappointing them

lol

>reappointing parties without any means to lower militancy now that all social reforms are gone

white men

I see tumblr arrived early 2da

So you get this event if you're an Italian GP and have sphered another state? Haven't looked into the files.

Love when this happens

If they ask, refuse the integration of Sicily. Keep Italy white. It's not like those illiterste rural faggots will bring anything to the table anyway. Puppet them if you can, but do NOT annex them.

:^)

>not just killing the traitors

It's was also Italian incompetence.If Italy had joined their german allies instead of the backstabbing entente then they would've won.

anyone have a 3.03 V2 dl? the one in the pastebin is 3.01

Is there anything worse than Italy? Only good thing from there is their food, music and their art, other than that thry should be wiped off the planet.

user those are the only good things from anywhere

Italian and Romanian "softness" (The Russians knew to hammer those nationalities hard on the great push out from Stalingrad) was a factor in them losing the war. I don't feel that it's fair to lay the blame solely at the feets of the Wops.

>britain
Literally all our food is foreign or a baked bean derivative.

Tumblr told them to stop blobbing into Belgium and France.

Gets annoying once a brigade from each of your stacks rebel all at once t bh

>what is having to commit the best tanks to the afrikakorps and the occupation of Greece because Italy is shit
Lad, 9 fucking FRENCH prisoners BTFO'd hundreds of Italians, this would be literally unbelievable if it was documented.

>Gets annoying once a brigade from each of your stacks rebel all at once t bh
True, but that doesn't happen unless you consistently piss of soldier pops, and they're hard to piss off due to being rural and suburban retards.

let's not forget the disaster in africa were a single english brigade encircled and imprisoned 200,000 italians

World War 2 was Germany v USSR. The rest was just tiny skirmishes here and there (including D-Day landings) compared. In the real war Romanians and Italians had very low morale and broke easily. I honestly want to know where they were going to run to. They had 84,000 miles of steppe behind and ahead of them.

what is a good army comp at this point in the game? got a lot of spare army to build and i want to get it right.

3 dragoons, 2 guards, 2 infantry, 2 engs and 1 artillery

4 inf, 4 art, 1 eng, 1 hus.

>germany lost ww2 because of a nation that wasn't even involved past 1943
What?
Anyway, the german loss in ww1 was because their defenses were completely broken in the 100 days offensive and they figured they'd just call it a day there cuz they had no chance of reorganizing.

>italy wasn't involved in ww2 until 1943
ughm, lad?

4 inf
4 art
2 eng
1 hus
1 cav

5 guards, 5 artillery
>hussars?
no need to, you will be sieging with 30 stacks so it will happen fast anyways and you won't be sieging too many stuff, might as well stick with more firepower
>engineers?
go for it if you want, replace 1 artillery with 1 engineer

is it a good idea not to build infantry and rely on mobilized troops to frontline.

lads is two sicilies green again in HPM or am i an idiot incapable of installing a pdx mod

As a nation that has to do that, yes, but Italy should have enough troops on it's own.

no, mobilization has consequences on hpm and you might be overwhelmed if taken by surprise during peacetime. also guards are much stronger than drafted infantry.

learn to read bro he said not involved PAST 1943 not until

>i an idiot incapable of installing a pdx mod

history.com/this-day-in-history/italian-surrender-is-announced
They surrendered in 43. Did you read my post?
If you're a small nation like serbia or greece it's a good idea, as it allows you to punch far above your weight class militarily. Otherwise, no.

:/

what the fuck do i have to do to get fascists to stage a coup?

how did you annex italian minors without lombardia? I thought that was required for the unification cb

4 inf 5 art 1 drag

>my sister has dyslexia
What, was she reading the post for you?
Just wait for some fascist rebels to spawn and let them siege the capital.

that sucks user

>and I've always thought I had a touch of it too.
It's genetic, me lad.

I guess blobbing in to uncivilized africa to raise your army and with them continue blobbing in mainland europe.

Dragoons

r8 ideas

Replace engineers with tanks, then replace artillery with tanks if you can afford it.
Planes don't really have a generic all-around place like tanks, but I'd just toss a few in the typical 30k stack.

I'm a big fan of 4 inf, 4 art, 1 hussar, and 1 engie. Replace engie with tank, inf with guard, and hussar with airplane when possible.
Blob in southwest africa, then use the troops from there to blob in europe.
Same thing I listed up there, although if you're planning on a really big war you can replace the infantry with mobilized infantry. Just make sure you have a ton of money saved up first cuz mobilization tanks your economy.
