Overview
In this guide we will see how achieve bearer of artillery in a completely historical game and in ironman mode.This strategy is based on entrenchment and attrition.Any suggestion or correction is welcome.
Introduction
Hello everybody i’m LyanKin and this is my first guide, today i will show you my way to achieve bearer of artillery.
First we set up our game to obtain the achievement.
First steps and configurations.
Polish National Focus Tree
Pick the political effort in this order, don’t down more because the other nationals focuses are useless.
The second will be the industrial effort in this order, after that you can choose the national focus what you want but i recommend continue with the infustrial effort.
PoliticalUse
I’s not necessary to follow it to the letter but this is the order that I recommend and it works for me
2.-Trade Law: Free Trade
3.-Industrial concern:PKP
4.-Theorist: Tomisław Łupaszko
5.-Materiel Designer: FB
6.-Economy Law: Partial Mobilization/War Economy (you need wait for this)
7.-Military High Command: Zygmunt Bohusz-Szyszko
8.-Chief of Army: Kazimierz Sosnkowski
9.-Political Advisor: Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski
10.-Conscription Law: Limited Conscription
11.-Political Advisor: Józef Haller
Construction
Right now this does not matter much, you just build civilian factories and infrastructure or idk.
Army
Select all divisions, group them and change them for normal infantry, choose field marshal Wladyslaw Sikorski as commander for his defensive doctrine trait and place them on the border with Romania.
Production
This is the assignment that I usually give.
War against Romania
Division Template
For this guide we use this division design; simple, cheap and effective. Train 10 division until you have 90.
Land doctrine
I ABSOLUTELY recommend The Grand Battleplan because it’s have EVERYTHIG that Poland needs; entrenchment, max planning, defense and organization. With the first four research you will be fine but is better continue researching, choose infiltration.
The other option is Superior Firepower but it has not given me good results.
Justify War goal against Romania
When world tension exceeds 10% At the end of 1937 when Japan declares war on China .
We start justifying war goals against Romania.
(Optional) Justify War goal against Lithuana
If you want to ensure that the Soviets don’t attack you across the borders of Lithuania you must start a war justification against them, they will be guaranteed by the allies, cancel the justification and now the Soviet AI will not send them the ultimatum for not wanting a war with the allies.
Polish-Romanian War
In the beginning you should have something like this,move all the air force to the eastern balkans, when you declare war only activate the entire plan and wait.
Peace Conference
If nothing out of the ordinary happened, you should defeat romania without much trouble, now at the peace conference annex everything EXCEPT Besarrabia is important not to annex because this would increase our border with the USSR and this mean more land fort and separation of divisions.
War against Hungary
Construction
With the Romanian factories start to build land fort in the USSR border, with a level of 4 each one should be fine, if you have time left add some antiaircraft to your territories.
Justify War goal against Hungary
It sounds tempting to declare war on Hungary before it joins the axis and now that we are an major nation BUT it is better to annex hungary and steal a territory from slovakia.
For this you have to be patient and wait until the third reich completes the national focus “Fate of Czechoslovakia”, now justify war goal against Hungary.
Danzing or War
While you justify against Hungary, the Third Reich start to complete the national focus danzig or war, France and United Kingdom will guarantee you but it does not matter, give them danzig We will recover it after that “working diplomatically with the soviets” It’s useless.
Polish-Hungarian War
This has to be very VERY fast because:
The important thing is to take budapest, handle the troops manually if is necessary.
Peace Conference
Just annex all, you now have aluminium and a lot of factories.
War against USSR
Production
With the Romania and Hungary factory it would be like that
Waiting the demand
We have some months to prepare for the Soviet invasion, at this time we will train the divisions that will defend us from those damned communists and build more forts.
Don’t Join to the Allies for now.
Frontline the border of Latvia with 10 divisions and the rest in the border of USSR.
(Optional)Millitary police
If you want the occupied territories not to suffer damage from the resistance, we can create some divisions of military police.
With 10 of them we will be fine.
Soviet-Polish War
This is the most important moment of the game and why I create this guide, Poland will defeat and annex the Soviet Union.
We must remember that we have the guarantee of the allies for which they will help us in this war but being at war with the axis they will not be able to support us with troops but they will help us in the naval war and a little bit in the air war, the allies will assure the black sea for that the Soviets do not do naval invasions against us.
The trench warfare has begun
The first thig what we do is justify war against Iran.
The Army
We don’t have to be scared by their numerical superiority, we have something they don’t have, land fort and a lot of entrenchment.
If for some reason they cross the border, I’m sorry but you’re already dead.
Construction
We will designate 15 civilian factories for construction and the rest for repair.
Somethig like this:
If you feel insecure and you see that there are many damaged structures you can skip that and even choose the national focus construction repair.
The Pushing Force
When we have completed the 90 infantry divisions and the fronts have been paralyzed we will begin to push, so we will design a force of 24 divisions with the following design(
Don’t add artillery lines because it lowers the attack and movement of many areas):
The strategy with the pushing force is group them in small areas where their number is higher.
When the Soviet manpower begins to finish and they have to increase their recruitment law to “Service by Requeriment” , it will be the moment that we will attack with the 90 garrison divisions, their fighting strength will be so low that they will not be able to defend their territory.
Rip 10 million communists
Peace Conference
Just annex everything what you can, in this case I annex the entire USSR, the United Kingdom change the Iran’s government but it does not matter because it is in our faction and will count for the achievement.
Finish the job
I take a slow strategy, change the design of the divisions.
I wait until 1946, at this time he creates nuclear bombs, a total of 50 new divisions.
assign them like this:
III Reich; 80 divisions
Yugoslavia; 40 divisions
Romania: 10 divisions
Bulgaria: 20 divisions
Japan: 48 cheap divisions
Middle East: 24 divisions
First worry about the Reich, when you manage to capitulate, attack Italy, use nuclear bombs when the enemy divisions are too many.
The result:
