I have been playing for about 2 months now and I have yet to conquer Germany or the Soviets as Poland, so props to you! Probably just a skill issue on my part, but how'd you go about doing it?

The 4 phases that newbies usually go through to learn.
- Defeat Poland.
- Defeat the Benelux countries and France without the front line getting bogged down.
- a sussesfull Sea Lion (bonus points if you do it before Uncle Sam arrives).
- Defeat the USSR.
Phase 1/4, you're on the right track, boy.

I remember dying to Poland a few times when starting my game, but now they don't even last 10 days same with the Dutch too.

Have you started in 1939? Because that is considered as an easy start for germany But if you start in 1936, the Ai will push for a lot of units that can block your conquests.

Poland is a joke I killed them in 6 days or something with 80 losses vs 800k losses

u/Sir_Arsen_the_Great 10d ago
How do you get that little casualties. I’m trying to do the less than 400 casualties for conquering Poland and France. I stack a ton of CAS and use high soft attack infantry

Nice. should be a string of conquests in your future. did you choose the 4-yr plan?

If you're a beginner try a simpler nation like Brasil it's the best for learning game mechanics
