Honestly, the eastern front (Eastern Europe) is the best part of the game, I'd say. Much more fun than island hopping in the Pacific, that's for sure. Honestly, despite losing dozens of troops in encirclements because of the rapidly advancing Soviet horde, it was the most fun I've ever had in HOI4 so far. They lost so many troops I managed to start pushing them back. And this is where my greatest military achievement so far in HOI4 took place - I took my elite light tank army and pushed directly from Serbia into eastern Romania, cutting off a huge number of Soviet troops. I was basically sitting behind the river holding the line. Yet with so many moving parts and so many combinations of. Hearts of Iron IV is ostensibly a historical strategy game. One nation, no god, with common ownership for all. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Communist States of America, and to the Glorious Leader for which it stands. Before the forts even started finishing they had pushed be back to the line in central Poland. Conquering as Communist America in Hearts of Iron IV. I panicbuilt a defensive live that went from Danzig, followed the river down and ended up in Croatia somewhere. They took Istanbul, and the only thing holding them out of Asian Turkey was a 9-unit large tank army in the Caucasus and five 4xcavalry garrison divisions over the strait from Istanbul. I was almost pushed entirely out of the Balkans.

I had snagged all the Eastern European countries before they could get there, so their only choice of action was to attack me. The only time I really felt threatened was when I was invaded by the Soviets in late 1941.

Hearts of iron 4 too easy
