You make a server and then invite your friends or they join you from the server list. The max player amount is 256 and mods like ET work in MP too |

I get rekt by an army ten times smaller than mine Mountains and river crossings would do that. Though with the hoi3 ui half the playerbase probably missed research. |

HOI is by far focused on military alone, unlike EU4 or Victoria 2, which are more focused on stuff like Diplomacy, colonization, etc. HOI only spans from 1936-1946, virtually the time span of WWII (shave off a few years). Due to this, military is focused on much more. Because of this, the military aspect is far more complicated which is why stuff where only a few divisions can fight at a time. In HOI, you have a better chance at winning again the enemy with only one division than ten divisions because you get a 'stacking penalty' where you gain a combat penalty for having so many divisions all target one spot.
So step #1: Don't merge divisions together to aim against one target most of the time.
Step #2: Always, and I mean ALWAYS, cover the front completely. If there's a break in the line, reinforce it and cover it.

If there's a break in the line, reinforce it and cover it. Well, you can use up to the combat width, so more than 1 division is usually ok, but you are right in that 1 is better than 10. |
