Showing you how to reclaim america as the Patriot Front, with the national front. HOI4 TFR guideAdded:
Hello everybody and welcome to the long awaited Patriot Front video. It's been a [ __ ] and a half to get this video recorded. Um Sorry for my voice. I have a bit of a flu right now. Um I'm just about coming over it, so maybe in the later half of this video I'll sound a lot better, but before we do anything we're going to want to go over here and set Russia to win the European war just in case it takes long. If you really want to you can even have them win the second.
And we're also going to have Russia do the LDPR populist revolution and whatever. I don't really care too much, but just do that so we can have a trading partner and someone to send us some divisions here.
And now we can [music] finally start the game.
All right, so you've seen this set up like three separate times.
Um same research, same uh military production.
I'm going to just skip ahead to the civil war cuz you know what to do now.
Um just build mills and uh start out in Connecticut and Rhode Island and then just build them down across the rest of New England.
Um yeah, you know the drill.
Uh vaccinate / vent outbreaks in New England, New York, um but just be sure to do them in Pennsylvania and New Jersey cuz you'll get cores here um and they're pretty decent.
Of course go down this branch. Um it's going to be the same set up as the APLA.
Just side with Biden and um let him lose the election.
Yeah, I'm just going to skip to when it actually matters what we do.
All right, so um now we've reached the line we tow.
Um you know, all as you know these all give you different options. We're going to click we must reclaim America as we're going to be playing as the Patriot Front. Um I've been stockpiling my mask and vaccine supply.
Um so, instead of doing the true revolution it begins, you're going to do support national socialism.
Uh this will give you a pretty good national spirit that'll help out a ton.
And for this guide, um here we're going to be doing down the national front route where you form the faction with the NSM in Michigan.
Um and the reason we're going to be doing that is because [ __ ] hell.
Uh and the reason I'm doing it for this route in particular is because since you need a guide for the Patriot Front, I'm going to assume you need as much help as you can get. Uh and that includes a help from the AI.
There's no shame in it. It's It is what it is.
Um but if you guys want to see like a specific guide for the achievement uh one man one front, let me know. I'll for sure do that.
But uh I'm just going to skip to the civil war and yeah.
All right, so my game bugged and for some reason I can't vaccinate New York City. Um you know, it is what it is. I don't think you'll get this bug, but just be aware that's something that'll happen.
Um Uh whatever.
Don't care. Okay, so America has fallen apart and your army should up should look something like this. So, all your units are under the command of Thomas here.
Roux Cell, Roux Cell, I don't know.
>> You got it. I don't know enough about this guy.
And you're going to get three of these minute men divisions and one motorized division. Put them under this old dude here and set a fallback line from the tip of Connecticut all the way to like the border with New York City.
Um Get national guard divisions and one motorized and put them on the border with the Iron Front. And the rest put them under Steven Ferreira.
And put them under the Air Force Command.
Be sure to put Kevin Deana under this one here.
Just to be sure. Yes. Yeah, Kevin Deana will be in charge of the Boston team.
Um First focus we're going to do is a vanguard for civilian factories.
Just start building mills.
And for our military factories, one on the gun here.
One on command equipment and one on Where is it? Anti-tank.
All right. Then, once you have this initial setup done, put two on guns or two more on command equipment, two more on guns.
Three on motorized and we'll fill it out as we need to from there.
Actually, put one more on artillery.
Yeah, something like this.
Okay, so the plan is going to be pretty simple here. We're going to primarily focus all of our efforts on taking out the American Iron Front as it'll give us a tank division. We're going to use that tank division to punch holes in enemy lines, specifically along Vermont and New Hampshire.
We're going to prioritize taking out the Green Mountain Anarchist Company as we'll get an event where we'll get two options. And picking one of those options will give us three very good divisions.
Uh with a We're also going to use any divisions we get from our focus tree. We're going to primarily do focuses that give us more experienced divisions as well as any mechanized or armored divisions.
Um it's not going to be too tough the initial conquest of New England, but it is going to take a minute. So, the first thing we're going to do is we're going to have we're going to bait out a division here.
So, we're going to attack this tile that's right next to Boston Boston and above Plymouth.
Okay, as you can see it's now left.
Upon completion of the focus Vanguard, we're going to do the focus blood. And we're also going to scroll down uh to this section here and hit recruit NSC 131 members. We're going to add the Nazi Shock Brigade into Kevin Deena's army and immediately send them towards Plymouth.
Uh be sure to edit the focus tree or the front line here. We don't want this extending on the way to Boston.
For foreign minister, we're going to go with uh any of these are good, but I personally like to go with the Hamiltonian guy.
All right, now uh we can do any of these focuses. If you've already taken out the American Iron Front or you're about to, you can skip over Boston offensive.
Uh I'm going to skip over it because I am probably about to uh take out Iron Front. So, instead, I'm going to do the New Minute Man.
For our economic minister, we're going to go want to go with the NJP guy.
For our security minister, we're going to go with the NJP guy again.
All right, we've got the armor unit. Add that to Kevin Deana's army.
And now start working on taking down um First Green Mountain Company here.
For interior minister, once again, also go with the NJP guy. We're hiring a lot.
Uh for research, do a modern fatigues and thermal optics.
Go with it For defense minister, go with the Jacksonian guy.
All right.
Once you finished um the New Minutemen, go with down recruit among the Saugus Side Veterans.
And also raise militia in Connecticut.
Mechanized the Second Continental Army is next. All right, so once we've defeated the Green Mountain Anarchist Company, we'll get Fate of the Mercenaries. Uh we can either do this, which only gives us worse power, or we can do this, which lowers our war score and political power, but gives us three really good divisions.
Going to add this to Ferraro's army.
But before we send them over there, they're going to have be doing some work for us.
Once Mechanized the Second Continental Army is done, we're going to take a break over do a focus Legacy of Victory.
All right, now that we have conquered New England, it's time to start progressing on New York proper.
I'm going to hit New York City, um cut it off from the the of the NYPD battalions here.
Once Legacy of Victories done, do the focus on Elite Officer Corps.
>> Roger that.
Once the Elite Officer Corps is complete, start working our way down to the focus Revere Rides Again.
All right, cool.
We have united uh New England. So, what we're going to do is we're just going to get pull our troops back uh around here.
It's fine.
Here's the updated production queue.
We're going to raise our uh once we have 100 political power or more, you're going to want to raise it to a limited conscription so you can get some more manpower in there.
Now, we're going to work our way towards the focus of Reclaiming America. You can do this with Canada, the Canadian intervention if you really want to, you know, get into the war, but you don't have to. Don't feel pressured at all.
Should do these uh decisions here and buy some equipment from the black market.
With the free bill, start making more guns and command equipment.
All right, with Reclaiming America complete, uh if you're still conquering New England, that's fine.
Um but next do the focus Random Militia Commanders. Uh once Random Militia Commanders is complete, uh be sure to specifically bypass the focus Better Dead than Red as this will give you access to anti-partisan warfare and Strength of Spear, which is what we're going to go down to.
Once you've um raised up all the militias, go to Recruit and Deploy and find infantry brigade. If you can't find it because you didn't cap the um anarchist, it's fine. Uh you can just make it, but be sure to add anti-tank and support not support anti-air.
Support artillery and train up a couple.
All right. Because Michigan has united, I want to be the one who forms the National Front. So, we're just going to go ahead and do convene the second constitutional convention now.
So, the way the Patriot Front path works is very interesting. It's not like the APLA where it's a balance of power system. Where if the balance of power is too far to one side, they will go anarchists. Too far to the other side, they'll go Jacobins. And in between is the DSA and the PSL. Instead, it's based off of popularity.
Um and that popularity will change.
And that popularity will decide what you become at the end of the civil war, not the end of this focus. So, for the entirety of the civil war, you will always be ruled by the blue shirts.
Now, you can pick whatever path you want, be it the Jacksonians, the Hamiltonians, the blue shirts, or the NJP.
Um Now, I'm personally going to go with the Jacksonians because I think it gives Roosevelt the best ending portrait. And that popularity is the authoritarian and Democrats. So, I'm going to pick any option that boosts authoritarian democracy support. You pick any option that boosts the support for whatever path you want to do.
Right about now, I also recommend starting to improve relations with Russia.
All right. With convene the second constitutional convention done, we're going to do form the National Front.
Now, we have this timer. It hasn't popped up yet, but it'll pop up soon.
We have this little timer here for reclaim America. We have 1,000 like 100 days to reclaim America.
Don't Don't Don't worry about that too much. We'll We'll look at it in time. Go to your motor. Right about now is when you want to start training a little more motorized. And we're going to do the same thing, anti-tank and support artillery.
And where are they?
We're just training up about 11 of them as well.
All right, with the National Front successfully formed, we're going to do coordinate nationalist economies.
And be sure to assist the atom weapon and text the National Front. You don't need to worry too much about these guys, they're going to die.
We're going to train them just a bit with the Russians here.
Put these five under Ryan Sanchez there.
All right, next do strength of spirit.
All right, Trump is actually doing very well against Biden. I didn't anticipate this, so we're going to just move it a little bit earlier than I would have liked, but it's fine.
Attack the union. If it's like me where we got to move in, um then you should bite the bullet and do it.
Uh next we're actually going to do the focus unify nationalist military as we almost have a 300 political power.
We're going to do some fun with that.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> We are >> [music] >> enlightened masses.
They cannot make the judgement call.
Give up free will forever. Their voices won't be heard at all.
>> [music] >> Play obey while never stepping out of line. And blindly swear it leads us. Let [music] your country control your mind.
Let your country control Living >> [music] >> ignorance and bliss Happiness when lies where the real cost.
Thinking [music] ceases the truth and lies.
Don't you worry. You'll be told exactly what to do. [music] I cannot think for myself.
The Russians >> [music] >> will succeed.
>> [music] [music] >> The fire we will burn the weak so we'll make way >> [music] >> for the mob's Making all the fabric of society >> [music] >> Collective consciousness controlled [music] by you.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> He [music] on enlightened masses they cannot make the judgement call. Give up free will forever their voices won't be [music] heard at all.
Let me be us while never stepping out of line and blindly swearing [music] leads us. Let's your conscience show your mind.
Living [music] in a dying empire is our happiness >> [music] >> when blood is what leads to the real cause.
Thinking this is THE TRUTH AND ALL. [music] DON'T you worry you'll be told exactly [music] what to do.
I give my people the last say.
The righteous will succeed.
>> [music] >> The [music] powerful will burn the weak. So we all pray to the >> [music] >> moth to the flame.
The fabric of society.
>> [music] >> The collective consciousness controls us.
>> [music] >> You >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> All right, so the Union of America has dug in pretty heavily into Chicago.
So, I'm going to do the focus to our southern brethren here.
>> [applause] >> Once that's done, we're going to invite the National Republic of Texas and we're actually going to do something really funny.
So, we're going to join their wars here.
And we're going to integrate the Confederacy. This might not be an option anymore after 1.1, but it's a pretty funny decision because instantly we absorb half the Confederate Army.
Or the entire Confederate Army, rather.
Uh actually, he has Confederate banana.
We'll add him.
Uh so, not only do we get uh I believe a few more generals, um we also get Michael Hill as a field marshal and he's a really good field marshal. Not as good as Russell, but he'll make a good second army field marshal.
I have a plan. A grand vision.
If they're going to keep coming here, then we're going to go someplace else.
Our own place, for our own people.
No immigrants, no minorities, an agrarian community where everyone lives in harmony because every single person is what?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I know that place. That sounds like Vermont.
Okay, so Biden is finally down.
Um, we're going to get all of the states that border um Trump first of Uh If you really want to, you can also give Chicago, Wisconsin, and Indiana to the Michigan, but uh not really like it.
And then we're going to get New Jersey and Philly. Now we can start picking up whatever we want.
Uh the goal here, it's not always going to happen, but the goal is to get all of Biden's territory.
We can contest Trump for a good amount of it.
So.
Just click a few times to make sure the game doesn't crash and Okay, cool. The game crashed. Um Uh Something like this should be fine as long as you have some troops.
All right, so our setup for Trump is basically just going to be this so we can quickly swarm over. Uh we are not going to attack Trump though. We're going to wait for him to attack us. Oh, I I have been neglecting this and you probably have too. Um but we're going to start raising our legitimacy. We can just keep We have a huge stockpile of political power so we can just keep hitting that. Um We're of course going to do any focuses that increase our legitimacy as well should we need to.
Um create international image is great.
Um party democracy, stuff like that, but All right, once rebuild the American way of life is done, we're going to want to do focus on the consumer economy and utilize penal labor.
Be sure to get our spies and set them to there and Ohio.
We're also going to do the wartime campaign, law and order, and reclaim America.
All right, so we have just been attacked by Trump here. Um not too crazy, just there we go, and press forward. Most of his troops are out fighting the APLA down here.
Um we are just going to swarm over them. Be sure to prioritize after Oklahoma cuz it has a lot of resources as well as Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minne- Minnesota and Missouri cuz they have a lot of the industry that Trump needs.
>> [music] >> When there's nothing [singing] left but the fire in my chest and the air that fills my [music] lungs, I'll hold my tears and trade my years [music and singing] for a glimpse at kingdom come. On the [singing] other side of [music] misery, there's a world we long to see.
The strife we [music] share will take us there to relief and sovereignty.
Oh my god, we'll have >> [music] [singing] [music] [music and singing] [music and singing] [music] [music] [screaming] [music] [music and singing] [music] [singing and music] >> All right, so there is Trump.
Uh pretty easy.
If the APLA is taking the Rocky Mountains, just put them all on a front line, obviously. Uh if it's more something like this where it's it's kind of [ __ ] up a little.
Um Um Um another control, out.
Set up a line.
More like uh another control.
More like this, I guess.
You got it.
All right, so the APLA got them, uh, before I could.
So, we're just There we go.
All right, um, Infantry, gather around me. The APLA is pretty rough because they have a bunch of units, and it's all fighting on like the worst terrain.
So, we're going to be here a while. I'm just going to speed this up. Just keep doing your political tree, do whatever military focuses you might have.
Um, do some economic stuff. Just do whatever at this point.
Uh, be sure to keep, uh, increasing your legitimacy whenever you can, as well.
>> control.
>> [music] >> You came down to this southern town last summer >> [music] >> to show the folks a brand new way of life.
But, all you've shown the folks around here is trouble. [music] And you've only added misery to this tribe.
Your concern is not to help the [music] people.
And I'll say again, though it's been often said, your concern is just to bring discomfort, [music] my friend, and your policy is just a little red.
Now, [music] ain't I right? Ain't you right.
Ain't you right.
It matters not [music] to you how people suffer.
And should they you consider [music] that a gain.
You bring a lot of trouble to the [music] town and then you leave.
That's part of your communistic game.
[singing] I detect a little communism. [music] I can see it in the things you do.
Communism, socialism, call it what you like. There's very little difference in the [music] two.
Now, ain't I right? Ain't you right.
Ain't you right.
>> [music] >> Your followers sometimes admit a bearded, bathless bunch. There's even been a minister [music] or two.
A priest, a nun, a rabbi, and an educated man have listened and been taken in by you.
All the country's full of two-faced politicians who encourage you with words that go like these.
>> [music] >> "Burn your draft card if you like. It's good to disagree." That's a get-acquainted communistic [music] kiss.
Now, ain't I right? Ain't you right.
>> [music] >> Ain't you right.
One politician said it would be nice to send some blood and help the enemy in Vietnam.
That's what he says. Here's [music] what I say. Let's just keep the blood.
Instead, let's send that politician man.
>> [music] >> Let's rid the country of the politicians who coddle tramps that march out in our streets >> [music] >> protesting those who want to fight for freedom, my friend. This kind of leader makes our [music] country weak.
Now, ain't I right? Ain't you right.
Ain't you right.
>> [music] >> Let's look and find the strong and able leaders.
It's time we found just how our neighbors stand.
If we're to win this war with communism, [music] let's fight it here as well as Vietnam.
>> [singing] >> Let's rise as one and meet our [music] obligations so communistic boots will never trod across the fields of freedom [music] that were given to us with the blessing of our great almighty [music] God.
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us with a blessing of our [music] great almighty God.
We flipped our finger to the king of England. [music] The dollar coming from the Indians. With God on our side and guns in our hands, we fought our own.
For a nation [music] dedicated to liberty.
Justice and equality. Doesn't look that way to you and it doesn't look that way to me.
Sick and twisted I know.
Listen up man, I'll tell you [music] who I am. Just another stupid American. You don't want to listen, you don't want to understand. So finish up your drink [music] and go home.
I come from the land of Ben Franklin.
Playing at home where all women >> [music] >> old and spreading elegant. The country that I know.
>> [music] >> But it's the land of the slaves and the glue club clan.
Paid back the flight in the Great Depression. Don't let copy Vietnam.
Sick and twisted I know.
Listen up [music] man, I'll tell you who I am. Just another stupid American. You don't [music] want to listen, you don't want to understand. So finish up your drink and go home.
I'm proud [music] and ashamed every 4th of July. You've got to know the truth before [music] you say you've got pride.
>> [music] >> Now the cops got tasers, but the kids got guns. Straight from the pills on everyone. Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun. Straight to [music] hell we go.
Listen up, man. I'll tell you who I am.
Just another stupid American. You don't want to listen. You [music] don't want to understand. So finish up your drink and go home. Listen up, man. I'll tell you who I am.
Just another stupid American. [music] You don't want to listen. You don't want to understand. So finish up your drink and go home.
Finish up your drink and go home.
All right. So, defeated the APLA here.
Um there you go. Rip my goat Preisner.
And now it's time to hold the national conference. When you do it, just be sure you have the highest legitimacy.
I do.
Don't be too worried if this if you lose this since it's not that big a deal.
For Texan autonomy, just agree to it.
You get a little state spirit on the Texan states. It's really nothing crazy.
I would rather not have to go to war, so we'll just agree to that.
All right. There you go. We have reunited America as the Patriot Front.
Uh blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Who cares? Who's the super bad?
All right. So, pretty soon after reuniting America, we will have the choice of path. And like I said, it'll be based on who is the most popular. For us, it's the Jacksonians.
So, we'll just do that. And the ruling party is Jacksonians. You got a pretty good uh portrait and a really awful flag. I really hate this flag.
But that's going to do it for today's video. Uh let That's going to do it for today's video. Let me know if you guys want a guide on how to do the um One Man and One Front achievement since I know this one did the National Front path, but uh yeah, next video uh is going to be something a little different. Still going to be Hoy 4 kind of. Uh yeah, see you in the next one. Goodbye.
