"30 minutes of Hel" Achievement is not possible

[HƸAVΩ¥]

Just spent 2 hours grinding through to get this and i have inflicted 1.9 million casualties on the Germans using the 1939 start and not unlocked the achievement. Seems the devs didn't consider their own game mechanics (not allowed to unlock achievements if starting in 1939). Fix pls

EDIT: The achievement has now come through it seems it has been fixed

Yep.

I noticed when starting a new game the achievements were disabled for some reason. No mods installed.

this was the first thing i thought about when they anounced the achievements before the update. How did they not think about that? Respect for doing it though. I thought it would be almost impossible to do this. You should just use SAM to unlock it at this point.

What was your strategy when you inflicted 1.9M causlaties? Did you hold the front lines or just defended core provinces?

I made a fall back line with as many river tiles and city tiles as possible on it. The large river through Warsaw is a great defensive line. The city Lodz and excellent for defence it is key you never lose these cities and the land connecting them (as one point I was push back to just them and the two tiles between. Hold Krakow and the area south (which contains iron) for as long as you can. Then actively retreat your troops out to hold the forest below lodz and hill and plain to your right.

Other than these general good defensive points you need to active move your local units onto tiles under attack and counter attack anywhere possible so the Germans have to grind as much as possible for every tile. For this reason I recommend having you units with no orders. Unless you are planning a frontline for a counter attack.

You basically just have to continually hold out until Germany is at war with all its neighbours then they dont have enough troops to defeat you.
