Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, May 28th:
621 – Battle of Hulao: Li Shimin, the son of the Chinese emperor Gaozu, defeats the numerically superior forces of Dou Jiande near the Hulao Pass (Henan). This victory decides the outcome of the civil war that followed the Sui dynasty's collapse in favour of the Tang dynasty.
1588 – The Spanish Armada, with 130 ships and 30,000 men, sets sail from Lisbon, Portugal, heading for the English Channel. (It will take until May 30 for all ships to leave port.)
1905 – Russo-Japanese War: The Battle of Tsushima ends with the destruction of the Russian Baltic Fleet by Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō and the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Wow lads, you are gonna LOVE this.
In HOI4, aircraft DO NOT cause damage. That's right, you can pick 10 bombers bomb an army, or you can pick 1000 bombers, it will make no difference.
What ground attack missions actually do is create a possitive combat modifier for your divisions that engage enemy bombed divisions.
To make sure that I wasn't just jumping to conclussions, I cheated and got myself an air fleet of 10000 bombers, which I used to bomb the Polish army, without having my divisions march. I waited 1 week and guess what? Not a SINGLE Polish casualty. Ofcourse, when I marched towards them, they crumbled in 1 second.
In other words, aircraft multiply the attack value of your ground troops. Do not bother bombing something without troops nearby to attack.

Pic related is the most I can show you to understand without having my ass sued.

"The German has always sought to destroy the Latin peoples!" Napoleon V cried to the Assembly. Although at least half of the deputies were uninterested in Joseph's racist ramblings, they were required to sit through this tirade.

"Ever since the days of the Holy Roman Empire, the jealous German has sought to dominate the Latin master-race. They sought to occupy Italy, and even parts of our great France, to steal the strength of our blood!

"But that was then; now, in the modern-day, the German has grown even more insidious. Although they are barbaric and weak, they are also cunning. They have long sought to destroy France from within, from their agents living within our rightful Rhenish lands, and the British now seek to economically strangle us!

"The only way in which we might defeat the German is to strangle him in return. The entirety of their colonies must be seized; their people must be divided; their industry must be subject to our own. Only in this event might the Latin people finally and firmly be free from the threat of the Germanic plague.

"That is why I have requested of the Assembly, and received, the right to declare war on Great Britain to destroy her entirely. This bastard state, a fusion of Celtic, German, and Latin blood, must be broken apart and weakened sufficiently so that she might never threaten us again!"

Napoleon V's speech was met with a standing ovation from the Assembly--one brought on by fear more than respect, of course, and Joseph left in good spirits.

Until his relative August met him at the Tuileries, at least. According to the nervous older Bonaparte, slight issues of supply management prevented the French armies on the front from receiving complete shipments of gas masks. August reported that there might be insufficient gas masks to protect against British mustard gas, perhaps for months depending upon the supply situation.

Joseph is not pleased, but he has announced the war; there is no turning back now.

A relieved August Bonaparte is able to report to Napoleon V a few short days later that that, in spite of a still-significant shortage of gas masks on the front, by means of careful strategic planning and a "shared pool" system for the use of the gas masks which were currently available to France, it appeared as if French forces in the field would be able to defend against British mustard gas.

Curiously, August reports that, based on initial combat with British colonial forces in Africa, the British may not have provided gas masks to their forces, or at least not their colonial troops. If true, it would represent a massive boon to the French in their attempted landings in southern England, for the British Army has already managed to arrive at some of the prospective landing sites and interrupt French operations there. Thankfully there were no British navies in the Channel and the First and Second fleets have successfully closed the Channel to outside intervention, so French reinforcements should be available in the event of a prolonged struggle for the coast.

For now, it appears as if everything is going precisely to plan. Cousin-Mountauban, from his field command post on the shore of Brighton, is not at all relieved by the smooth simplicity he has experienced so far.

I really didn't cheat for that gas defense unlock, just got incredibly lucky.

On April 12th, Marshal Cousin-Mountauban reports that French troops have secured the beaches to the fullest extent they are able, and that occupation operations are now in progress. August Bonaparte is ecstatic, and even the usually stoic Cousin-Mountauban shows some joviality at the news; although his forces are locked down in a battle with British General Hugh Butler, the vast majority of the southern English coast is still free of British troops, leaving the potential for advancement wide open. August tentatively expects that the defensive line for Phase 1 might be established by the end of the month, with reinforcements from France potentially available even before then.

August and Cousin-Mountauban are both aware that the occupation of the heavily-populated and heavily-industrialized Midlands is critical to the success of the operation, but for now all goes well. French troops have landed, three British armies in Africa have been totally eradicated with the only real resistance existing in the Congo, and the Second Fleet has even been authorized to support Scandinavian naval action off the coast of Scotland.

Luck--or, as the proud Cousin-Mountauaban would say, excellent planning--so far stays with the French.

Glory of glories! Contrary to all the projections of the French General Staff, the invasion of Britain has gone so well that on April 24th, just twelve days after Marshal Cousin-Mountauban confirmed that French troops were clear to advance from the beaches, London has fallen! The advance was so rapid and so unexpected that the British royal family was just barely able to escape the capital, and are currently en route to Glasgow, still far behind the front lines, with a steamer constantly fueled in port, ready to whisk them to Dublin and the perceived safety of Ireland at a moment's notice.

Whether or not Ireland--or anywhere in the British isles, for that matter--will remain safe is an open question. France's reserves of a further million men have successfully landed on the island, and there is now a mad advance toward the Midlands, currently with no significant British resistance in sight, although mobilized militias have been sighted outside Birmingham. Still, if Birmingham can be captured before its own militia can be raised, it's unlikely the British will be able to offer significant resistance.

Via radio, Napoleon V officially announces to the French people at large his intention to "destroy the British empire in its entirety."

"With London captured and two million French troops already in Alba," the fiery Emperor said, "there is no chance that the Germans will be able to stop us in our quest to bring lasting peace to the world!"

With the majority of Albion occupied and French armies streaming through the mountains of Scotland, the royal family has fled to Dublin, once again just before the French rolled over their temporary place of refuge. Although George V is now personally pessimistic as to Britain's chances for victory, he has determined to stay in Dublin, "come what may," in order to inspire his people across the narrow sea. One thing that George does not doubt is the strength of the Royal Navy, and its defensive fleet in the Irish Sea. There is no concern in his mind that French forces will land in Ireland without the Royal Navy stopping them.

This is precisely the sort of "arrogant presumption" which Napoleon V is so in love with proving false. In spite of the great risk to France's navy and her operational capabilities in the event of failure, Joseph gives the order to Admiral Daniel Lebouef to assault the British navy in the Irish Sea "with all available combat vessels."

Although Lebouef is cautious about the power of the Royal Navy, the seemingly incredible power Britain possessed just a month beforehand had quickly been proven a façade, and Lebouef trusts in Napoleon V's judgement; the Battle of the Irish Sea begins on the 20th of May.

Looks like I finished up the purge decision that removes all Natives from Ohio and Detroit.

I think I'm going to remove the New English cores on the area since they usually attack immediately, but I need to resolve the Yankee assimilation there. I have an idea where the Confederation accepts Yankee but loses them when the riots start. I can make some flavor event where all Yankees in the country leave and go to either the USA or Boston Commonwealth

On another note, I need a new country color and flags for the Boston Commonwealth

The only thing I didn't understand was why you didn't storm london in the first phase, that would be the first move of any invasion instead of besieging cornwall and hampshire.

Desu they're getting decimated. I legitimately thought this war would be ludicrously hard, but the Brits don't even have gas defense. The whole war has just been shooting fish in a barrel.

>>143696215
Storming London was part of the first phase anon, right after landing, even before the beaches were secure.

Also, I knew virtually nothing about British naval strength prior to this war, nor where their navies were positioned (plus I have shit Admirals) so I chose to play it safe by blockading the Channel and ferrying across it rather than doing something a bit more inventive like that.

A crushing victory in the Irish Sea! Although Spanish Admiral Pablo Aranda would shamefully attempt to take credit for the victory after sailing into the already-won battle in hundred-year-old vessels, the true victor was undeniably Admiral Lebouef, who managed to destroy over forty British vessels whilst taking no losses of his own. Truly, he is a national hero!

With the Battle of the Irish Sea ending in disaster, George V has reached out to Napoleon V to request peace from his fellow Emperor. Napoleon V, however, snubs the British monarch after he learns that George is unwilling to provide an unconditional surrender, and orders fully one million Frenchmen to storm Ireland.

"Now we own the seas," Napoleon V excitedly told his wife. "The Germanic fool of a King cannot escape! Once we capture Dublin, he will be forced to sign whatever peace we should demand of him, and I will ensure it is the harshest I might bring to bear!"

After hearing the constant news of the invasion, about how surprisingly successful it had been and how her husband single-handedly made many of the decisions which led France to victory, an embarrassed Yolanda wonders if she was wrong about him.

The war is over. The moment French troops breached Britain's defenses in Belfast and hundreds of thousands of French troops began streaming into Ireland, George V knew that it was well and truly over--he offered an unconditional surrender to Napoleon V immediately. In just three months and nine days, France has once again proven herself the most powerful nation on the globe.

Napoleon V rides in an open-topped car through Paris, surrounded by thronging crowds of supporters, and more than a few prior opponents who have come over to his way of thinking following the monumental victory he has attained. So many military parades and shows of support for the government come in the next several days that Joseph is speaking almost constantly.

"We have proven Latin dominance! We have proven that we are the strongest and most noble race, the true inheritors of Rome's legacy! Britain has been destroyed, and with her has fallen the last mighty Germanic state on the face of this earth. With her goes the Baltic German swine Wrangel, whose state has been so completely disarmed that not even a peasant might hold a gun without us knowing it!

"Let the news be announced to the heavens: what Napoleon I could not do, I have done! What France could never before achieve, I have given to her! Europe is now united under the Pax Napoleon, and I say this: let the Latin people take their rightful place at rejoice! For never again will they be subjected under a Germanic race, this I swear!"

Diplomatic Points.jpg

>>143700216
In the aftermath of the conflict, a few matters of diplomatic importance take place.

First and foremost, the United States decided to back Chile in a civil war occurring in that country over the release of its southernmost territories. The Scandinavian monarch, Gustav I, had previously provided funding to the Patagonian rebels on the basis that they would permit a local Scandinavian consulate and generous trade deals to Scandinavia.

Although Napoleon V believes the entire situation to be absurd--quite literally, the same men who sit down at the negotiating table with the defeated powers turn around and fight with one another over a petty South American territory--he provides nominal support to Scandinavia, to save face if nothing else.

Second, France decides to occupy the Channel Isles from Britain before the peace is even signed. Although this is both humiliating and quite illegal, Napoleon V is leader of the most powerful state on the planet, and it's quite evident that he can do--and will do--as he pleases.

The state of the world following the dismantlement of the largest empire the world has ever seen, starting here with Europe and North Africa.

In Europe, Britain's dismantlement was disappointing, at least as regards the opinion of Napoleon V. Although the Irish were eager to attain total independence and implement the strict anti-British racial laws Napoleon V suggested to them, Scotland and Wales did not follow in their footsteps. Even though Britain had been horribly beaten, the pro-union Welsh and Scottish easily defeated their independence-minded brethren in multiple referendums, and eventually even Joseph was forced to admit that the Scottish and Welsh would not be made independent of Britain--at least, not following this war.

In North Africa, Napoleon V's initial goal--the seizure of Britain's Nigerian territories--was accomplished, as the annexation of the Gold Coast. Scandinavia received Sierra Leone, and Malta was granted independence.
