A glance at HoI3

[Tamas]

WTF 

As spring set in, the Italians attacked with a HUGE army compared to our french-british forces at the border and broke through. I landed in Sicily and Naples to discourage them, but did not manage to. Late March I have two divisions south of Rome (which is defended so can't take it yet), while 2-3 other divisions are mopping up southern Italy.
My forces in southern France are making such a rush to a soon-to-fall Marseille that it makes Dunkirk(or whatever) seems like a tea party. And yes, I am evacuating them to Southern Italy to fight there. And yes they are running there from Italian forces.

The Italians are actually pretty near to Paris now, all the French army is scrambling against them so the Germans will pour over the border soon I am sure. Oh, and Turkey agreed to join me. As a matter of fact most countries lean toward Allies they just don't want to join. With France being out soon I wonder if this will change.

Oh you Balkan types with your demands for silly little nitpicks of historical accuracy...

Paradox has really gone into the shitter, haven't they? Which is actually good news for me, because reading threads like this provides more entertainment than HoI3 ever would.

I'm pissed at HOI2 right now.  Advanced Turbojet Naval bombers are annihilating my Supersonic Interceptors, and killing my convoys by the dozens.

There's reports of Germans landing in the U.S. in 1940, or going to the Malacca Straights (seen the screenshot) , or landing in China to aid Japan.

Some see it as "great AI" trying to exploit weaknesses.

the fanboys are blinded, as always. :s
it's a game with potential, but it'll take a while for it to get there

This post (in response to inaccurate Hungarian claims) made me laugh:

whocares about hungry ? just invade them and make them wash your toilets

The sheer mindlessness that goes on, on that board.

I'll buy it.  But not now.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't figure out how to stop or influence the converting of energy into fuel. The manual and the strategy guide both say that it is much more efficient to convert oil to fuel or even buy fuel from somebody else, but I can't find any possibility to change the converting process. Or do I just have to import more crude oil so that the balance will shift automatically?

Anybody knows the answer?

Biggest mistake: I did  not annex the north-italian nazi state. Now the fuckers can't supply me.

Besides their whole forming is fubared. I have to conquer all italian keys to trigger it meaning I control all of italy how the fuck do they appear then? Just to surrender immediately, none the less.

Oh and dont send your fleets on patrol. My Mediterranean Fleet was sent out of Alexandria to patrol the seas south of Genoa. Couple of weeks later I get the news of them sinking some Japanese ship off the coast of China.

They were showing initiative and devil may care American style attitude.  If the Limey's had had more of that they wouldn't have needed us to bail them up.

That's right. That's the new AI exploiting weaknesses in Japan's naval defence system.

Hm.  When prioritizing a unit for upgrade, repair, and reinforcement (the green star), am I able to simply click on an HQ to have that "bonus" apply to all the units under it's command, or do I have to go through to each individual division and prioritize them?
