If the task force contains ships capable of bombarding the shoreline, they will do so to support your troops. If you think you’re going to have a tough time invading an enemy province, or don’t have complete control of a sea zone you can assign a task force to naval invasion support.

It will also give you details about how long the prep time will be, plus problems like not having enough intel to safely launch an invasion. Hovering over the play button will activate a tooltip giving you a lot of details about your planned invasion, including convoys. You also need enough intel and convoys to support the invasion or it won’t be executed. The plan will not execute until war is declared and all the armies are in position. The play button needs to be clicked to activate this battle plan as well. Right click multiple provinces in the same state to invade multiple territories, but all provinces must be in the same state.Įxperience points for the Naval Doctrines are gained through Naval Exercises and some National Focuses, plus combat. Once that’s done all target provinces will be highlighted, right click on one to select it. All selected divisions should then start preparing for a naval invasion.Īll available ports to start the invasion from will be highlighted on the map for you, just left click on one to select the one you want to assemble your invasion forces in.

Next, assign the fleets and task forces you want participating in that theater. For that reason, I renamed my first generic theater the Norwegian front since I planned on that country being my first victim. If you’re planning to invade the Netherlands for example, then rename or create a theater that gives you an idea of the location. Your theater will start out with something generic like German Theater 1.
Just like Armies fleets can be assigned theaters. Navies can be the key to preventing enemies slipping into your territory unexpectedly or losing valuable supplies due to convoy raids. Naval invasions, raiding convoys, convoy protection and outright combat between fleets is how you conduct Naval Warfare in Hearts of Iron 4. The Man the Guns DLC was not enabled for this game. Not only can you use your fleets to blockade an enemy’s supply lines they can also be used to perform naval invasions, sometimes saving you a lot of time fighting it out over a long land route. Conducting effective naval warfare is vital in HOI4.
