We will invade Yugoslavia followed by the big one: Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. But by not invading, we can learn how to set up a proper defense. There will be no early Sealion, even though that is my preference in my own games. In the early spring of 1940, we will invade Denmark, the Low Countries and France. In 1939, we will invade Poland, followed by the Phoney War. We will reoccupy the Rhineland, absorb Austria and annex part of Chechoslovakia peacefully, while keeping the Allies nice and docile. We will play Germany in a mostly historical path. This AAR will show you step by step how to play Hearts Of Iron III: For the Motherland. Hello and welcome to my second attempt at creating a tutorial AAR for beginners.
