Most ground units take 120-160 days to train, so start training units in early 1939 and they'll be ready for when the war kicks off. Battleships take alot of men, so you want your limited manpower going into your navy early on. build tanks, guns, supply kit, big guns, anti-air. Even switching to 'limited conscription' leaves you short of men. 'the war to end all wars' debuff, really reduces manpower. It is a bit weird seeing 'supermarine hurricanes' but whatever haha.Ģ.Remember that scene in 'Hot Fuzz' where they find that guy with all the guns? Be that guy!īuild equipment, not land units until 1939. I went with 1 minister (boosts polical power gain), then 1 fleet designer, 1 aircraft designer, 1 tank designer. if you research George V battleship before you assign a ship designer, you dont get the bonuses from that designer. Designers help technology researched after you've bought them, but don't do anything to older designs as far as i can tell. Get your political points buying 'designers' asap. Apparently we used to design stuff other than just hoovers. Before Dyson there was.Vickers, Supermarine, Camell-Laird. I've never played HOI before this week, but 60 hours in and several UK campaign restarts as I learnt how to play, this is what worked for me as the UK.ġ.
