Tips on German civil war?

[Belgian Problem]

Just looking for general advice on the best way to win the oppose Hitler civil war.

[Chris Beldam]

No idea, I can't win it on any difficulty. Hitler is OP as hell

[Ëvïlnïck8 ゴゴゴ]

focusing on the southern Germany trying to encircle half the Nazi army while just focesing on holding the line in the Northern part seems to be the go-to strategy as far i know.

Nazi Germany in general should not be to difficult to deal with,
Hitler is on volenteers only and on civilian economy while the player is on an higher constription and higher mobilization law.

I allways try to push to the norther tip of czechoslovakia, encircling the lower half of their forces. From then one out, it's a cakewalk. I may have to add that I start out by manually pushing the weaker bits of his frontline and reinforce where he attacks

Prior to civil war (only produce arms), move all units West and form two armies. Have them evenly spread north to south. Move all air to the west. Park navy in that north western port. As soon as the civil war fires.., try to do as the person said above.., aim for the corner where it meets Czech and you will probably see a route to Berlin. taking Berlin will not end civil war, but are trying to split the enemy forces via Czech.

you win

There is no actual profit in controlling the Baltic Sea, but you will need ships (half of which will be lost during baltic combat) in future battle for British Isles (if you're playing true Germany and not paratrooper coward). There is actually a way to destroy 1\3 or even a half of Hitler's army by encirclement them in Bavaria. You will need to push for only 4-5 provinces to do it, then wait a little bit. Done.

I've always just taken the Oppose Hitler focus first whilst deleting all my motorized, tank, cavalry divisions. (Keep infantry) Make all your aircraft into huge airwings in western Germany, leaving none in storage, since then you keep half; otherwise the Fascists get the lion's share of stockpiled equipment.

I've found it to be relatively simple in my few goes simply because the 12 full infantry divisions the fascists get have had a tendency to all pop in northern Bavaria in one stack right on the border. I'll grab the infantry military advisor and then encircle them ASAP, even using a unit or two to pin them down. After that it's a bit of a cakewalk. Hold the line with your volunteer divisions, microing into empty provinces, and sweep north with your 12 Infantry divisions mostly unopposed. Hitler will put out maybe a tank division or two and a few infantry divisions since the fascists get the bulk of the equipment stockpiles; but, they're green and not too tough. Usually finished with the civil war before you can do 2 more focuses. (I usually go 4 yr plan and Autarky to get closer to the civilian factories for the really way too easy rebuilding. Everything is always repaired before you can even go down the post civil war factory repair line).

If you really cant win as a very last effort you could ruin your industry and delete every factory that Hitler will have. The cons however is once you win you wont have as much factories as you would. How I win is I just immediately start the oppose Hitler focus and assign your troops to the border.(if you don't know where it is then just do the focus remember where it is and then restart) when war breaks out just let your troops will be entrenched and then just let them sit their for a while. Yes you will lose some lands but they will have lost more people and then just push them all the way to Berlin.

It's been two years, the civil war might have been done even in real time speed lol

Hey,

on regular Ironman I use the Landsturmregiment Divions in one army to hold the line against the fascist east. My regular divisions go into another army, which forms a frontline on the border between Hessen and Bavaria, with a battle plan to cut off Bavaria from the rest of fascist Germany.

Have your regular divions attack, manually forcing breakthroughs to cut off Bavaria if necessary, then quickly take southern Germany. The enemy divisions will soon run low on supply, which is when you can mop them up. I cannot stress enough, how important it is to quickly push through northern Bavaria, thus denying the southern part reinforcements and supplies. If you manage, you basically win the civil war.

With the south liberated the Nazis will be weakened significantly, and pushing them back is trivial. The German civil war should be won by the end of 1936.



Personally I really like the alternate path where Germany becomes a constitutional monarchy and invites all it's neighbours into the Central European Alliance. What annoys me there, however, is that the CEA is almost guaranteed to end up fighting the Allies after Comintern has been defeated.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ What.

Tell me more. Can we then disband these tanks to get a massive surplus equipment?

Never tried it, but I strongly recommend to use "Landsturmregiment" ( capital letter ) ;)

What I did was go for the high attack generals and field marshals, trained light tanks, cavalry, and basic infantry, and i tried to cut the Nazi army in half by encircling a large amount of them below Czechoslovakia. I had Naval superiority in the baltic but could not get air superiority

Thought I saw a note in a patch release note that this has been fixed.

Simple really:
Build military factories on your side.

Prepare regular divisions so that you can split southern germany from northern and eastern germany thanks to Czeckoslovakia.

Mop up south whilest spamming regular infantry divisions.

There done.
