29:43 Several months before you actually finished, in which thousands more were surely KIA, crippled, captured, or missing (casualties), you got 349 thousand casualties. Albania's total population in 1938 was 1,048,000. I'll call it 390k to capitulation. 37.21% of Albania's total population in the war was killed, wounded, captured, crippled, or missing. That's almost halfway to the Paraguay War in which nearly 60% of the population was killed. Jesus wept, Albania deserved better than that lol

There honestly would realistically have been absolute regicidal outrage that he got so many of them killed when the threat to Albania itself passed, but, here's a fun tidbit. Albania, while never especially pious about it, has been majority Islamic since Ottoman rule.

Suggestion: For manpower make air wings. If you go to total mob, you can invest all available manpower into air wings. Once you have demobilized manpower for total mob, you disband the air wings and you just saved so much manpower. (They might’ve patched it, I haven’t been able to see in around three months due to my computer being broken).
