Hearts of Iron II - Doomsday Armageddon

[Fletcher]

I bought this pack a month or two back online. Its a HELL of a strategy game, it seriously tests my ability to macromanage and micromanage units and countries. I tried the Armageddon scenario as USNA - United States of North America (In this case America conquered Canada, but Confederate states got independence in southern states).

In this scenario, everyone but USNA is communists, and Prussia (bigger Germany with no Nazi) are caught in a powder keg as everyone is attacking everyone. A global free for all in 1936 onward.

This is a challenging scenario.


I just finished a game as USNA, the Japanese and European Soviets (UK commies) invaded my East and West coasts after they bypassed my outdated navy, but I had the airborne advantage, my planes rained hell upon them and I ejected them from USNA.

Then I conqured the Confederates and moved to conquer the entire American continent. That was my goal for the scenario, it took me 7 years to do.

But then something disastrous happened and funny thing happened. The APR (powered up Africa), took over the entire continent in Africa, Europe, Russia, Chine and even Japan. They were at war with me too.

So its literally USNA against the world, this time, I was ready.

As I expected, the APR sent LOADS of transports and God forbid Aircraft carriers and Battleships, but I was waiting, I had 100 submarines all in the Atlantic. Battle loss was:
I sunk 12 Aircraft Carriers, 30 Battleships, 40 Heavy Cruisers, 30 Light Cruisers, 90 Destroyers, 30 Submarines and 400 transports (and their cargo).

I lost 50 Submarines. My submarines were top notch, some were even Nuclear powered.

After that I marshalled my East coast invasion forces and charged Europe and Africa, it took me 10 years of extra fighting, but I took the world.

USNA under my commend on Hard difficulty, took the world, without using a nuke. Off course, it ruined my economy, but anything for a 'free' world. This game took me 2 weeks to do with planning.

Thanks for reading, anyone else got this game?
