How the FUCK do you play this game? I’ve played Hearts 2 years ago in high school and it didn’t feel as absolutely daunting as this one. I’m playing as Spain during the revolution (which just might be a hard campaign) and everything ends up as a stalemate with the fascists until I run out of supplies.

Setting up AI attacks seems goofy and difficult. Is there a better way to organize/run armies? Do I have to babysit certain battalions/armies to sit and wait until they’re organized and the pincer enemy positions? Like I said, Hearts 2 seemed really straightforward and I never really had issues defeating like, the fucking Nazi’s in Stalingrad or killing Argentina as Brazil.

For various reasons that I still don’t quite understand, divisions should have a width of either 20 or 40.

Combat width (which determines how many divisions you can have actively doing damage in a fight) is always a multiple of 20, so 20-width divisions ensure none of it is wasted and you can always bring maximum firepower to bear.

Cool, thanks! One thing I’ve heard is that 20w performs better at defense than 40w, is that because they can recover while others are fighting? For example in a 40w battle, 1 20w is defending while the other recovers?
