There are few nations out there can match the naval power that the CSA is currently producing, but Great Britain is one of them. The latter is one I’m very interesting in pursuing. The US has a number of “War Plans” at the start of Hearts of Iron IV that range from the historically accurate (war with Japan and Germany) to the ahistorical, yet more exciting, alternatives (war with the Soviet Union, alliances with Hitler, invading the UK’s colonies). Browder, not one to be outdone, reciprocates by sending a specialised hammer and sickle Medal of Honour back to the Soviet leader.Īmerican and Canadian troops eye each other over the borderĪs 1938 rolls around, I work on a new set of National Focus goals aimed squarely at annoying Great Britain. ‘Uncle’ Joe Stalin - as he is now known to the American people - is unfathomably pleased with the news, declaring Comrade Browder a hero of the people and granting him an honorary Hero of the Soviet Union award. Factories across the country are being collectivised and industrial output surges as a result. The sleeping giant is now truly beginning to awaken, due in no small part to a hefty trade deal conducted between the CSA and the Soviet Union. Eisenhower, now a stalwart general of the American Red Army, arrays his troops along the Canadian border to put an even greater fright to our northern neighbours. The coasts of the country are patrolled steadily by great armadas of naval power, bristling with heavy guns and loaded with countless aircraft. The dockyards of the US continue to pump out more and more ships. Mere days after the announcement, Canadian troops are flooding to their southern border, ringing the Great Lakes with divisions on standby.

The first is the re-invigorated workforce of the the American people doubling their efforts, effectively sending the country’s materiel production into overdrive. Two things happen after the Communist States of America (CSA) announces its birth to the world. Earl Browder, General Secretary’s Address to the Nation, March 1938 “We cannot, and will not, accept the dominion of imperialistic empires over nations that should, by rights, be free!” Now I move to cement my control in North America. I’ve already altered the political scene in the US by kicking out Franklin Roosevelt in favour of Earl Browder, leader of the American Communist Party. There’s no telling what will happen when the Second World War kicks off and how my new nation will cope. In this series I attempt to change the course of world history in Hearts of Iron IV by turning the United States of America into a communist powerhouse of the 30s and 40s.
