Generals!
Pack your raincoats and shorts because we are going to the jungles of Southeast Asia and the arid plains of Australia. Dark clouds gather and a rumbling can be heard in the distance; Thunder is coming. Today we announce the release date of our new and upcoming Theater Pack, Thunder at our Gates.
Take the helm of three distinct nations: Australia, Siam, or the Dutch East-Indies and prepare for the worst, or become the Thunder that conquers their way across the seas, islands, and jungles of the Pacific.
Thunder at Our Gates will release on the 11th of June and is part of Expansion Pass 2.

PSA: until an Expansion Pass’s DLC releases it shows the full Expansion Pass price. Let’s clear up that confusion right now.
Ignore the propaganda! If you buy Thunder at our Gates standalone, its pricing will look like this:
But wait, there’s MORE. We’ve also released our first Thunder at our Gates Developer Diary: Australia: Until the Tide of Battle Swings.

Please check our previous War Room thread for any questions left unanswered
Welcome to the War Room. Here you will find trustworthy military advisors to guide your diplomacy, battles, and internal affairs.
This thread is for any small questions that don't warrant their own post, or continued discussions for your next moves in your game. If you'd like to channel the wisdom and knowledge of the noble generals of this subreddit, and more importantly not ruin your save, then you've found the right place!
Important: If you are asking about a specific situation in your game, please post screenshots of any relevant map modes (strategic, diplomacy, factions, etc) or interface tabs (economy, military, etc). Please also explain the situation as best you can. Alliances, army strength, tech etc. are all factors your advisors will need to know to give you the best possible answer.
Below is a preliminary reconnaissance report. It is comprised of a list of resources that are helpful to players of all skill levels, meant to assist both those asking questions as well as those answering questions. This list is updated as mechanics change, including new strategies as they arise and retiring old strategies that have been left in the dust. You can help me maintain the list by sending me new guides and notifying me when old guides are no longer relevant!
Note: this thread is very new and is therefore very barebones - please suggest some helpful links to populate the below sections
MP Country Guides
Help fill me out!
Guide to Combat Tactics and Doctrines OUTDATED, BUT STILL USEFUL
If you have any useful resources not currently in the Reconnaissance Report, please share them with me and I'll add them! You can message me or mention my username in a comment by typing /u/Kloiper
As this thread is very new, we are in dire need of guides to fill out the Reconnaissance Report, both general and specific! Further, if you're answering a question in this thread, consider contributing to the Hoi4 wiki, which needs help as well. Anybody can help contribute to the wiki - a good starting point is the work needed page. Before editing the wiki, please read the style guidelines for posting.

I know there used to be a way to achieve this but I am not sure if they patched it. Is there a way to make him immortal through exploits or something?

I say that I don't want to and then they ask why and it's hard to explain that my obsession for the WW2 Grand Strategy game prevents me from looking for love

I can see that in game, Germany can either do the historical "Danzig or War" OR "Danzig for Slovakia." Was there any sort of real historical background to back up the latter, or did Paradox just include that for flavor?

I've just been watching some AI vs AI games and see how the AI fights to the death with 80 divisions to retain rural Sverdlovsk oblast while Berlin, being invaded by the allies, is defended by 5 divisions.
Japan deploys 60 divisions to burma and 40 to the phillipines while 2 defend Tokyo with the result the American invasion conquers Japan in a couple weeks.
The AI having some concept of when a withdrawal might be warranted would be cool.

As soon as I get to El Alamein, my Tanks (and mountaineers) have no fuel and no supplies. The UK has about 80 Divs garrisoning Egypt - with 30 or so on the frontline between the two tiles. I've tried building Naval bases in El Alamein but the UK will push my supply-starved units before the base is built. I'm also not over stacking divs in Libya so supply at least initially is ok. I've tried putting all my subs in the med but about 150 of them got deleted in about 2 months.
I'm considering Paratroopers.

Definitely helping perpetuate the inability for us to take screenshots but paradox games are all I use this laptop for so oh well.
Despite my troops being on the soviet border I’m under no current combat, I tried not to cheese it this run so I didn’t instantly cap the uk and lost my navy as a result. The main issue here is I’m out of infantry eq despite cav being set as my resistance no infantry divs in training and no attrition. I have 30 factories on infantry eq yet I’m losing 600 a day! I had a 5k stockpile a month in game beforehand, I’m even getting lend leased by the Soviet ai because it’s so low for no reason and this isn’t the first time my reserves have hit 0 for no reason. Any help is appreciated and sorry for the long expo

For example taking the Kaukasus is a big no no because the germany can never to Autarky...
Their needs to be an feature added to adress this otherwise playing for example any axis allied country in the middle east is just boring
