'33 Strategy for Soviet Union

[unmerged(731502)]

Oh one more thing, I have in the past built a large Airforce, and was happy with the results. Essentially doing an integrated air campaign all over the front in which I aimed at reducing the german ORG. with that, I was able to survive with a modest IC build and modest increase of my ground forces. This was a well balanced ground force, not heavily INF or ARM or anything, aiming to have 36 ARM and 18 MOT by 44 with the rest going to building INF and my Air force (most in Airforce). This worked the best in my opinion. I could reduce my Oil consumption by grounding my Airfoce, I was building my armor and motorized forces gradually. I aimed with the special forces added to have approximately 380 Divisions by end of 45.
I was able to slow and then grind to a halt the german advance by mid summer and they resumed by in late fall but again ground it to a halt.
This was the most active one, I had to constantly shift forces all over the place, and I burned oil quickly but I also regained it quickly since when my airfoce was grounded it used no oil.
this was the most fun.

Cancel all production of navy and fortification assets at the start of 1933 scenario. Focus all IC to bring unrest to 0% and then initiate 2-5 IC production on some 30 provinces with the idea to have eventually some 320 of base IC capacity.

As you get more money from consumer goods while to focus on reducing the unrest, play the following in the range of 0 to 4%: save 3000 to perform money devaluation and then reduce the unrest again while accumulating money. Make only comprehensive 4000 improvements to research and TC capability because you get extra 0.5%.

Research all that is essential to increase industrial output. And save money for the first and second rounds of purges (some say you can elect not to have one in 37 but I could not figure how to do it). Do not promote Tuhachevskiy, stay away from all foreign affairs.

The key is to grab Czechoslovakia before Germany. Leave Baltic midgets to themselves, keep normal relationships with Finland. Attack Romania in 38. Yugoslavia is the only country that will join them. After that Hungary and Slovakian part of Czechoslovakia. Germans may still enter Bohemia but that will be all. Do not make any deals with them on Poland.

Produce, modernize and wait for Germany to attack France or other way around. Let Germans drive French in Low Countries and then stub them in the back. They crush and annex France only few months before you annex them and everything they annexed before. At the same time with Germans, crush Italy to dust. Immediately attack Spain and annex them with North African locations to transport garrisons. Remove “independent Portugal” which is nothing more than US airfield.

Then strike Iran from Armenia and Central Asia. They fall under UK and the big war starts. Drive British Raj puppets towards Karachi and Suez. Clear the coast of North Africa and Gibraltar.

The next step is to starve all allied forces in Africa by cutting them off coastal areas.

UK collapses usually after second nuke to become Stalinist puppet. If interested can clear Scandinavia and release them as puppets too.

Make ICBM to station them in Brest or Magadan to strike Albuquerque. Massive 30-50 nuke strike paralyzes US for quite a while. Jump on New Brunswick and then North America is at your mercy to free the Confederate State from oppression.

Japan needs to be taken by the combined air assault of some 24 divisions of paratroopers with capable commanders (Malinovsky, Rokossovsky)

All what was left on the map untouched by 1961 was Paraguay and Chile. The rest were puppet or soviet rule.

Need some 200 garrison divisions with MP. Army is some 800 divisions with majority being motorized and mechanized. All infantry divisions that 2 brigades – 1 artillery and another tank or mechanized cavalry.

Strong focus on CAS – some raids claimed more than 2,000 personnel losses on Germany.

Use annexed research team to your advantage to develop navy. Do not bother until then. I had some 400 nuclear attack subs deployed in the end. All other fleet was on nuclear power because army and navy bomber patrols consume a lot of oil. Huge misbalance with US flushed in oil while I had only few provinces to match Houston alone. That is, Iran with Iraq with Romania with Baku and with South East Asia were not enough to sustain my operations for 24 hours. Sometimes I was getting left with 0 oil by noon due to intense combat.

Chinese wanted to attack at some point but I spearheaded from Mongolia to Vladivostok and starved them in encirclement.

Sweden with UK and Danish comrades were helpful and deployed their contingents even to South America.

My IC was just above 2000.

"All other fleet was on nuclear power because army and navy bomber patrols consume a lot of oil"

I can imagine Stalin giving a speech about being environmentally concious.

Did revolts ever get out of hand in some areas, getting close to capturing the cores to liberate a nation?

one of the tricks you can do in DH is to go to partial mobilization early on, the production bonus will have you out build all other nations in short order, keep on producing ic to 39 to the max resources you can acquire constantly (it has been a long time since i played last)

I think they wanted to know this in 2014

btw i'll use that, thx haha

For fun help the Chinese communists win once their war starts by actually attacking their foes. You can easily roll over the nationalists + clans. Then because the Chinese communists aren't true communists conquer them, too, and free the new true united communist China. Japan is left sitting there going "What just happened?" And when Germany attacks you suddenly a hundred+ Chinese militia will rush to your defense. Glorious!
