I can't beat Poland as Germany

[Hoxworth]

It starts off well at first but once russia steps in with it's huge number of troops it doesnt matter how well my troops are performing when theres too many troops to continue the advance. Is there any way to attack Poland without alerting Russia? Or attack belgiun without having to deal with the french and british?

you don't sign pact with SU?

the second thing you mentioned is impossible. they will always gurantee indepence if you show agression.

[uncleflagzz]

Well that sucks.

Actually one super easy thing to do is justify on belgium in 1936, take them out, justify on france, take out france, naval invade britain who guaranteed them. For hard mode justify on poland instead, who will be guaranteed by france and uk.

That did nit answer my question

As said by another, sign the pact with the ussr, or just attack poland or belgium early. Remember that guarantees start at 25% WT.

mhm...1. u dont need to beat them
2. fortificate ur borders with polsk
3. declare and w8 when ussr equipment will be low
4. counterattack
5. (not necessary) try to do it with only 48 divisions - 20 width or 30 divisions - 40 width

If you intend to kill Poland then I usually justify when I can, the starting divisions is all you need to defeat them, have your inf along the main border with the tank and motorised divisions along the four bottom tiles of the Poland-German boarder, use planes aswell. I usually leave ostpreussen for the pols to get as it weakens their main fighting strength

This is a big problem which means that you need more practice but a few questions might help to find the problem: Do you use your tanks for encirclements? Do you repair the infrastructure? Do you check your army organization?

i use tanks to encircle and my infantry almost never runs out of orginization because i do rest them when i can. The frontline is always green and the casualties are always more for the enemy. Unfortunately that's not enough cause there are to many damn soviets and they grind my manpower down no matter how good the war is going.

Do you have the medical, logistic, engineer and artillery support in your infantry templates? During your game eventually you will need to beat Soviets if you play Germany and they become much more powerful after 1942 so this might be a chance for you to eat them even before involving a war with USA.

Make an infantry template like this:
supports--->medical, engineer, artillery, logistics, 5th one will be according your choice and your playing style
12 infantry + 4 artillery on the line

tank divisions are a little complicated use youtube for them. Quickly scrap the barrel if you have problems with manpower + go to the volksturm path in your land doctrines so you'll have +3% and +2% manpower

edit: the infrastructure repair is very important as well, in the populated fronts more infrastructure means more supply and that means more accurate divisions. Otherwise it turns in to japanese x chinese war :D

Best tank division Template is 40width with 10 meds + 2 Heavy tank + 7 Motorised/Mechanized + 2 Motorized Plot. Support equipment as: Scout/Sapers/Technical/Logistic/Radio
You can also replace Heavy Tanks with Tank Destroyers or just make only 12 meds. (12 lights at 1936)

Or just make infantry Space Marine template with saving a lot of factories hehehe. (But that doesnt make gameplay interesting)

nice

i got in a stalemate iwith poland as germany
♥♥♥♥ building the navy the UK deleted it anyway

I honestly have no idea why you are fighting the Soviets during the invasion of Poland. It's like you didn't follow the focus tree.if you finish Danzig or War in fall of 39 and finish treaty with USSR (you don't need the Molotov pact) you will be able to invade without hassle. You will however be fighting the allies, but you get quick focus wars vs the low countries and they fold pretty quickly as well. UK is tricky but a naval invasion sorts things out quickly. If you plan it right WW2 should be over by Christmas of 39. Then in 40 build up your Eastern forts for the Soviet attacks. Wait till they start taking HP damage and at least 2 to 4 million casualties before you launch the counter attack. Don't declare on them as the Great Patriotic War buff is huge.
