Any Cheesy way to defeat Germany?

[JuBa12]

Hello everyone,

I have been asking myself how to defeat Germany as Iraq at the start of WW2. I do manage to puppet Mainland : France, Italy, UK and so do I get mostly their Satelittes like Raj, malysia etc. So I got borders with Germany with france and Italy ( when they annex Austria). Sometimes I go for Spain to Unify Arabia but lets say I want the big ones down first. What should I do? I can request forces but have really bad Troops. Cant Order 66 them aswell since they dont give Military Access.

Sincerly,

JuBa

I can offer three small bits of cheese to help take out Germany in the scenario you describe:

1. Cheese puppet manpower by not only requesting their forces, but also recruiting colonial templates from your own "Recruit and Deploy" menu. Bonus cheese: you can modify the templates you are recruiting, so you can make those troops more effective.
2. Don't call some of your puppets into the war. AI Germany will garrison an uncalled puppet's border, but not declare war on them, tying up dozens of divisions to glare across the border in a menacing fashion. Italy, in particular, has a decently-sized border with Germany that isn't particularly great to attack through.
3. If you can, save capitulating the UK until Poland joins the Allies. Once you and Germany are at war with the same country, Germany will grant you military access for an Order 66.

If you have access to that many puppets/factories, it should be possible to create lots of colonial divisions.

If you already have the likes of France and Italy, garrison their defensive terrain with whatever and naval invade the heck out of Germany (land adjacent to ports on either side, capture and camp). You can thin out their forces so much that they can't do proper offensives and are vulnerable even to basic infantry divisions using planning bonus to break through. Good thing, you will likely have plenty of those. Puppet navies should easily get superiority over Germany's, so you can even invade through sound toll once you have Denmark.

Order 66 tactic above should work even faster.
