Hi everyone, I got just about the most ridiculous and stupid question about the game.
I understand most of the basic functions of the game, which are generally all you need in order to at least start playing a paradox game, except for one stupid little thing-
How do you attack.
I'm playing as the U.S.A right now and apparently made the mistake of pissing the citizens off, which resulted in a disgruntled rabble spawning and running all over the place.
Given that I never tried combat in HoI3, I thought this would a nice way to figure out how it worked. From my understanding, you initiate combat in HoI3 by having a particular unit move into an area occupied by enemy forces. The problem is that I keep on getting status reports saying that X engaged Y, and that either X or Y won, but with no loss of life, etc.
After spending about 20 minutes completely confounded by the situation, I decided to just try declaring war on Mexico to see if it's because you have to deal with rabbles in some different manner. After using the noneutrality cheat and DoWing Mexico, I moved a division into an area occupied by a Mexican unit. I see the same status report and another report saying that I lost, even though no one died again.
I tried looking through the tutorial, but it had nothing on how to initiate combat, so I'm completely stumped here.
Can anyone help me out so that I can finally get along with getting my ass kicked by the Germans when WWII starts?
Thanks in advance!
