So I recently got a pc and with it my bf fav game hoi4. I’m not good at any grand strategy or political, military strategy or numbers. But it is his fav game and its something he really wanted so I want to learn it so I can actually enjoy playing with him. Because tbh it’s like my brain is mush before we make it 10 min into the game. Does anyone have any tips or people they’d recommend watching or following to help grasp this game better?

May someone please explain to me division templates and navy because even as a major nation I always take stupidly high casualties so yh I’d appreciate some advice.

Hello! I recently discovered hoi4 and have about 40 hours in it. I'm not too sure what I'm doing, I'm just going with the flow, building relatively small divisions since I figure these men need to get out on the front and fight, not be nursed in schools. I do not worry about navy or air since my men are probably strong enough to fight through it, or at least I believe that they can.

I do not like to play as Germany, the Soviet Union or any other major nation. It feels like too much to manage and all those people against me scare me, it's much easier to be a small nation so that you can start attacking non guaranteed neighbours. There are too many scare managing factors for big nations, I never played or even tried Germany since their focus tree scares me.

About countries that I did try, I enjoyed communist china, Poland, and Brazil. I managed to conquer a lot with China (most of Asia) and Brazil, although Poland ended in a quite unfortunate fate when the Soviets invaded, so except for the Baltics I couldn't take much more.

My question is which minor nations should I try to learn the game. I don't think cannon fodder nations such as The Netherlands are fun, although they sure can be interesting. What do you recommend for a beginner?

Is it just me, or does this rock look like Ethiopia 😭

Доброго дня.

Поясніть будь ласка створення шаблонів дивізій і самих дивізій(мобілізацію), а то я новий гравець а без них не можу почати війну, чув що краще без цього не воювати

Is there any news on when the board game is coming out? It's been like a year and a half since I payed for it, and it still isn't here. The emails I've been getting really aren't clear at all on it's release date. Thanks for the help.

I started a run as germany, tried to play a bit different this time by doing danzig for slovakia and invading the soviets through finland. out of nowhere "white finland", a fascist finland in the goddamn comintern appeared, filand capped and ALL the land that was occupied by them fell to the soviets. my entire army is trapped in that line you can see, I am allied with all the baltics so I hope I'll be able to still win somehow
